Been there a couple times now. The service is amazing! Especially the one lady (I can't remember her name, but when I do, I'll update). The food is always great. Bartender is awesome! I highly recommend the espresso martini or the Big Al's martini. Great entertainment as well.
Just an overall great place.

Great long time Western bar. Excellent all day happy hour food and drink. Lots of friendly staff and people. Live music and dance floor. VDT slot machines, if you like.

Many of the clientele have been coming here for many many years. So that days it all by itself.

Try it. You will like it. Especially if you're from the West Coast, where you don't have many funky places like this there.
