Very Noleta-ish locals bar. Two bar-sized pool tables with league play Tuesday nights. Juke box. Full bar. No food but you can get food from plenty of little spots in the same strip mall and eat it in the bar. TVs to show sports events. Lots of regulars. Not fancy - and that's the point. Come in and relax. Cash & credit card payments.

Vegetarian options: Bar, not a restaurant. No food served.

Dietary restrictions: Not the best spot if you have a drinking problem.

Parking: Tons of parking for the strip mall as a whole.

Kid-friendliness: It's a bar.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes.

Dive bar as it should be. Reasonably priced drinks (flavored vodka soda $7). Big TVs, pool, games, patrons from all walks of life checking any attitudes at the door.

Just an absolute killer bar. Great staff, decent prices. The karaoke jockey, Joey is probably the best KJ I've ever had the pleasure of singing with. Tipped him a fiver and he mixed me so I sounded great! The bar has a fun, welcoming atmosphere too. A lot of regulars but they seem to love new faces.

Was bored at the hotel, and looked for a local bar for a drink, but everything looked too posh, not my style. Decided to hit this place, good reviews not a tourist trap, I'm in. Stopped by on a Thursday, Karaoke Night. The beer was cold, good tunes and passionate singers. Don't call this a dive bar, it's not dark, or grungy it's the opposite of that. People sure know each other here, but were also very welcoming and I never felt any bad vibes. I did not Karaoke, but I did find myself singing along. Felicia the bartender kept the drinks coming and is a total sweetheart. Got to talk to KJ Joe from Big Joe Karaoke, cool dude and it's easy to tell that pro audio is one of his passions. They both gave me local food spots worth trying and they were right about them. In short, I came for a drink and stayed until closing time. Cool place, will be back whenever I'm in town.

They don't have every option, for every drink, but they have what you need. Not pricey, and the atmosphere is homey (more Always Sunny, less SOA.) Felicia, Jen and Chip are awesome!Normie spending: $Scotch-Irish spending: $$-$$$

A bar where a springer spaniel has a seat at the bar. Drinks are strong. Sports are on. And it’s full at 3pm. What’s not to love

Rochelle Martinez

This is a really fun place. The bartenders are great. If you like to watch sports, there are plenty of tvs. If you like to play pool, they have a table for you. If you want to sing a long to some of your favorite songs, then their karaoke will hit the spot. The drinks are good and reasonably priced. This place is in Magnolia Shopping Center off of Hollister. Check them out, it's a nice spot.

Parking: Tons of parking in the shopping center lot.
