Went here for the first time for my birthday with some friends. Got to talking with an employee about the origins of the bar since I worked at a bar in college of the same name. She ended up giving me a t-shirt before we left. Great service, great drinks, and great atmosphere. Fun night and thanks for the shirt. We will be back for sure.

I had lunch here today and it was fabulous. Best burger and fries in town. I had the 1/4 pound burger and it was perfectly seasoned and cooked. The bun was nicely toasted. I’m pretty picky about fries and they were perfect. Crinkle cut fries that were crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The waitress was very friendly and personable. The last time I ate here was probably thirty years ago. It is now smoke free and very clean.

I’ve not tried the food, as of my first visit today, but wow the atmosphere and the draft beers are NICE. So comfortable like an old favorite sweater. This is the best post-work bar stop I’ve found so far, after moving back to Huntsville about a year ago. Been dying for a place like this to disappear to.
