Good people, friendly and attentive.

Noise levels intolerable. This place has great service and great food and the atmosphere would be fun except the patrons talk so loud they are shouting to the bartender and each other. sometimes they're having a conversation with the bartender 20 ft away from him, over you while you're trying to speak to the person next to you.People like me with undamaged hearing have to wear earplugs in there. They turned the music up loud to I guess drown out patrons using their outside voices. I'm sure the patrons don't realize how loud they're talking...they're not doing it on purpose.I don't think much can be done about this problem because it's not the staff that are the problem it's the patrons.Just be advised if you have really good hearing this may not be the place for you.

Stopped in Friday and the BBQ Chicken was great. The baked potato had sour cream a butter. The beans were very tasty. The price was great and so was the service. I'm going to come back and try the breakfast and might add a bloody Mary. Nice bartender.

I stop by in the daytime. Cash only. Great staff and the kitchen has amazing food for the price. The pizza is amazing, but expect a wait. It is hand made. Stop by for a drink, conversation, pool, pinball and a meal! And I almost forgot the BBQ ribs and chicken on Friday.

I hi guys so we're talking about the Nowhere bar. An interesting place back in my hay day of going to bars and things like that we called these neighborhood bars or dive bars something to that effect there's no real connotation meme this is the descriptive thing this is your neighborhood your bars surrounded by neighborhoods it's a small strip mall with by the way has a four Flags boxing training center in the little strip mall and I thought I've never seen one of those before we're in person so I got to pick in it was very nice and pretty interesting but I digress. So back to the Nowhere bar, I want to be really clear, the rating I gave was a three but not for any particularly negative experience okay, one small one but not that big a deal I will say more about that in a little bit. it is, a like I said, a small neighborhood Dive Bar. many of the neighborhood dive bars that are still in existence, in my area at least , or so it's been my experience, have we Face themselves and become kind of trendy or what we might have called at one point Yuppie bars ( if you haven't figured it out by now I would think you know what generation or era I came from ). Place a little pain on the walls some nice bright new lighting and can lights and some mirrors and some new more modern up-to-date younger oriented furniture and now you have trendy or more one might say is a little more upscale. That's just not the case with the Nowhere bar it is still designed for the neighbors to people who live in the closely adjacent neighborhoods. Certainly it gives you that church feels it seems everybody in there knows everybody and everybody seems to be relatively friendly now let's get to the good parts I've I've been there once or twice before the bartender's been the same every time very consistent very nice and and very easy to talk to a wealth of of knowledge a little bit about everything can add more than that she is a mixologist. The food food it's like your Basic pizza and snack Park the type food that's if you were a better entrees than you know more flavorful and and fulfilling entrees up there but not just a straight truck load of fried food like a lot of places so we had a pizza at this time. And definitely the food is acceptable. Now why the three you ask them was three's right in the middle of between one and five and then there's nothing special if if you vibe there it's a great place but you know average atmosphere average food I mean they're not going to blow any any food critics off the map but you will enjoy it you'll enjoy drink and join me some people you'll enjoy the company it's a solid place to go and have a cocktail and maybe a quick bite to eat. Just remember it's no frills no rock and roll no pinkies in in the air. let me know what you think and as always if you can like or subscribe or whatever it helps me to achieve the status content thank you

Very cool little neighborhood bar with most excellent food!

Taylorr Gutierrez

Quiet, a good place to sit and enjoy a beer without a bunch of rowdy people bugging you. Bartender was nice too.

Joe P

Nice dive bar, a few pool tables, pinball machines, and a miss Pac-Man cabnit. Food served on most weekdays.

T Helms

Very helpful staff. Good pricing on most items.

Jane Koebel

The bar area was horribly smoky . You don't have to take your cigarettes just inhale all the thick smoke . Left coughing , will not be back they need to ban smoking in all establishments
