“Don't drink, so I ordered a diet Soda. The bartender warned me that he didn't know who's diet it was but that it wasn't that good. He was being nice to what ever it was I had. Disgusting,Horrible diet soda. Everything else was great. Except a Niners glass....Probably because of my Seahawks Shirt.“

“From the outside it looks like a dive. I love a good dive. But one step inside and your olfactory nerves transport you to Vegas. Maybe the Cosmo, maybe the Venetian. Either way it’s amazing. Then the smell of grilled hot dogs, it must be Slots of Fun… next order whiskey and they have my absolute favorite: Writer’s Tears. Come visit Nicole.

Don’t forget to tip your bartender.“

“Howdy yall!!! My husband and I found this place just by word of mouth while we were visiting. October 2026. Bartender, Justin, is killing it with the customer service. He 100% made these 2 Texans feel welcomed. A few other regulars were too kind and fun as well!! We really enjoyed this place. Wish we would have found it earlier in our trip but no, it was our last night. Thanks again Justin for making our last night one to remember!!“
