We enjoy going out. Last night we visited this magnificent place which friends recommended to us. We enjoyed a beautiful evening there with superb cooking and a professional crew and an impressive chef. We put this venue in our phone list and we will definitely visit again soon. We highly recommend.

The seating is a bit odd in this place, but the small love seats seem to work alright. The beer on tap is ice cold, a nice perk. The food was decent as well. The variety of sports and screens was above average for a sports bar (gymnastics..yes!). The one downside is that they do not have a waitress, you have to go to the bar every time you want a drink, this was a bummer and why the 4 stars.

Typical sports bar. Full menu. Full bar. Great place to watch sports. Opens early so you can get some drinks before all the events that go on downtown. Major place for cowboys fans.

I ordered a cheesesteak from this establishment yesterday and it was Awesome, it came with steak fries also that was very good...For now on when I want a cheesesteak this is the only place I will go

Best time I've ever had watching UFC, the cheesesteaks epic and delicious adult beverages mainly on point micheladas, super friendly staff and ample seating. I'd give this place 6 stars if I could!

The food we got gets a HUGE 5/5 stars... I got a bowl of Pazole that was DELICIOUSLY AMAZING and my boyfriend got a classic cheesesteak no green bells add mushrooms with the white "dirty daddy" sauce (I think that's what it was called) IT WAS SO GREAT! We have already talked about coming back to try other things on the menu... NOW LET ME GET TO THE REASON WHY IM GIVING ONLY A 4/5 stars..... My boyfriend and I came here for the boxing fight this past weekend. They had a cover of $15 each which isn't too bad but then as the fight commenced we noticed they took down the dividers that were separating the people whom did pay a cover and those that were just in the "regular" part of the place that didn't have the fights playing.. and they turned all TVs to play the match and made a couple announcements saying to pay or you would be asked to leave but never once did I see anyone check for wristbands. Just seems a little shady to be charging some and not have enforcement of the wristbands.

Best Philly Cheesesteak sandwich ever!

Well looked like a college dive bar and a little hard to find, but glad I did.

Well looked like a college dive bar and a little hard to find, but glad I did. Cheesesteaks represent, and other food well prepared as well as a good tap beer selection. My only comment would be to get better made bread / rolls and clean up the decor (including signage to restrooms / exits). Staff seemed egar to please, timing was very reasonable. Will Definately be back if I'm in the area.

Came here to watch the super bowl. This place was packed. Staff was very nice and helpful and everyone was just friendly that worked there even though it was super busy. This is a good place to hang out if you like watching the game. They have tons of TV's so you can watch the game and any angle. TV's are everywhere. They also have drink specials written on a neon chalk board by the bar. So there is always something you can try for a discounted price. Parking can be tough at moments but if you drive around and walk a bit there is always something you can find. If you can't find it on a busy night then there are parking lots by the area. Some are cheaper than others. But give yourself a good 15 to 20 min to find parking. Overall, a great place to hang out if you love watching the game with your buddies.

The beer, chicken cheesesteak, and big TVs. Friendly Rudy.

Classic underground sports pub. Go in with your expectations aligned and you'll be more than satisfied

Here pretty much every Sunday during football season. Great place to watch Cowboys, Niners, Steelers, or Raiders games, but fans from other teams go as well. They are known for good cheese steaks but my favorite is their Posole! It's bomb and sometimes sells out. They sometimes do cool drink specials for certain teams fans after a score. Great atmosphere, cool for adults and families. They also have awesome staff and ownership. Type of folks that remember you.

Dive bar! Expensive beers and sub par food. Might be a good place to catch a game but not for families. Wash your hands!
