My go to place, I take the bus to get here and it's worth it every time.
There's alot of places to stand or sit. Stage is perfect for the events they have. I definitely recommend going Tuesdays nights! Lela hosts Karaoke at 9pm, Kayla is bartending and Robin is the cook!!

We had an event here and man it was a blast. The staff were super friendly and it was a packed house. I didn’t try the food but smelled really good as others were ordering. We found parking at their lot but there’s plenty of street parking alongside the venue. I look forward to seeing more live music here.

Can be a fun divey place with live LOCAL music, I just wish the SOUND was better. There is no excuse for FEEDBACK and in general things (especially vocals) were too loud for the size of the speakers they have, tending to clip or distort too often. Maybe was a new sound guy, he made it look hard... and sound worse.

Full bar, good but busy bartender. Not sure about the food, maybe my ask about a hot dog wasn't heard or more likely the kitchen shuts down at some point, didn't see any food come out. Beer included Lagunitus and Elysium. Floor is a bit of a menace, steps and slopes in unexpected places.

ordered wings, they were cold. like to the bone chilled. sent them back, had to explain myself to a man who didn’t believe me. kind of petty, childish, weird vibe. anyway, food comes from freezer. think chuck-e-cheese level quality. drinks took a while but it was Friday night. paid $10 cover to support the acts though. maybe they need better staff to keep people like me happy. the hunt for a neighborhood spot continues.

Had a fun time! Nachos were swimming soggy in cheese sauce, bartender was gone, then inattentive. The band was great!

Awful atmosphere yesterday- meant to be comedy but really upset our family. Very loud, dark, expensive and vulgar. My 20 year old daughter was in tears - avoid this place.

Robin, oh Robin. You work so hard. You keep such a great attitude while doing so.
Your food comes out faster than any pub I've ever been to before and when the bartender forgets utensils, refills and napkins you meet the need intuitively. Robin's hospitality belongs in the front of the house as a supervisor. Someone who can run a venue for hours the way she does, from cleaning to plating is an example of what a great full service restaurant manager looks like.
I'll definitely be back again soon

terrible bartender! you basically have to work to get a drink. she almost goes out of her way to not serve you. then after my drinks I stepped outside for a smoke and she automatically closed it and gave herself a 20% tip and signed it for me. terrible and unacceptable. she even refused to give me a copy of the receipt.
update: she charged me $25 each for watered down drinks

Had a great time listening to my friends Clark Heisler and James playing live music. Bartender was super friendly. Tequila shots were 2 mouthfuls, vibes were laid back and friendly and there's parking!
