My wife and I have been wanting to visit the "speakeasy" for some time now and finally found a night with a band we liked to check it out. The outside has an approachable look, with parking and the entrance away from the main road. A patio surrounds the front door with patrons hanging out and smoking by the entrance. The inside is a bit more divey and initially reminded me of walking into a VFW. Overwhelmingly everything is decorated with wood. The tables and chairs are a bit older and we found a seat away from the bar. The bar and stage share a small area up front, then the rest of the restaurant opens up to additional seating and a couple of pool tables. I ordered drinks at the bar but there is a waitress waiting on tables. Not a full bar. They have a slim selection of most alcohols and could not make me an old fashioned. They made my wife a Moscow mule and I just ordered a whiskey. Bar staff was SUPER attentive, polite, and helpful. My wife's mule tasted flat. A group of 20 somethings came in and started playing pool by our table. They acted like regulars but were rude, loud, and obnoxious, as if playing pool in a barn behind their house. Not a flattering atmosphere. We decided to move to an empty table by the stage. Most of the customers that were there to listen to the band were good, regular folks. Listening to the band is very intimate and the sound system was good. Band was phenomenal. For our second round, I noticed they had about 12 beers on draft. Craft options and a cider. Beer was served in a frozen mug and tasted cold and fresh. My wife had an Austin EastCider and I had St Arnold IPA. Honestly, I had higher expectations for the speakeasy. We will likely go back if we see a band booked we like but it probably will not make it into a regular weekend rotation. Did not try the food.
Decent spot for a drink. Conveniently located at the south end if Tyler Legacy Trail. Indoor & outdoor seating
The Bugsy’s Boneless Wings were awesome. Came with a big amount (roughly 12-14 wings) and delicious flavor and original style. Great service and good clean spot. Give it a try
Pizza is great! Service can be slow. Not enough wait staff for when they get busy. Friendly people.
Went there for the 2nd time and the owner was there drunk as skunk running his mouth. I feel like this place will be on a episode of Bar Rescue soon. The pizza and the service was great. The liquor drinks tasted watered down and wouldn't be surprised if they were after meeting the owner.
Been there only 2 times. Love this place. Even though I'm not very good at pool
Great appetizers, especially the smoked gouda mac and cheese bites. The pizza is excellent, we had the Capone. Definitely will be back here, the waitress provided great service as well.
Always a nice atmosphere here! The staff are friendly and the food is good! Drinks were okay, but I really just come for the people!
Nice, clean place. Pool yables are taken care of. Outside area has firepit, good for conversation. Bartenders are attentive!
Great bartender. Cool dive bar atmosphere.
