Drove 1500 miles straight from Gulf Shores to Colorado to visit family and the hotel desk clerk recommended this place. for a weary travel it was an oasis . The bartender (didn't get her name but she was originally from the pan handle) was is the perfect hostess. she recommended the roast beef sliders with Swiss. they were absolutely amazing with Au jus. my wife loved the potato skins this place is really fun looking and they had live music. but what really stood out was the staff. definitely will come back. Place was full of like-minded people having fun

We had to try this place because we were visiting from Pennsylvania. The tater tots are fabulou, especially with the green chili!
We had the French Dip special and it was very good. We came back the next day to play trivia- so fun! Each time the service was fantastic.

Good food, drinks and atmosphere!
Live music, friendly atmosphere, and beer. What more could you ask for? Oh, great staff and the best buffalo wings I have eaten in many a years.
Malorie was the best waitress and she was so attentive to our table and our loud selves. She made the experience well worth the time! It was my first time there and I had a blast.
Wow! I’ve driven by that green awning a million times and never went in. Love the old school bar vibes and the separate bars for watching tv or listening to a band. Really extensive menu and a lot of great choices from burgers to salads. Awesome house made chips! Super friendly bar tenders and great service. The food was plus for a “bar” and there was a great atmosphere with the sports and people chatting about. Clean restrooms and super fun!
Great bar experience overall! Excellent drink selection, food was great, didn't have to wait long for it to be hot and ready and an excellent value for what you pay! Will definitely be back in the near future for some live music!

The Rusty Bucket is our go to take out place. The patty melt with their homemade chips is my favorite. The food is consistently good and the service is always fast and friendly.
If you enjoy being treated like an outsider at a so-called “neighborhood bar,” then by all means, give this place a try. Otherwise, steer clear.
Tonight marked the third—and final—time we tolerated the unbelievably rude owner. Three strikes, and we’re done. This place masquerades as a welcoming Steelers bar, and at first glance, the bartenders seem friendly —probably because they know most of the customers by name, even ours, but apparently not enough visits. But make no mistake: if you’re not a regular in their little clique, you might as well be invisible.
The final straw? We wanted to buy a square for their Super Bowl pool. The sheet was being passed around, no restrictions mentioned, so we asked to purchase an AFC square. Simple, right? Wrong. The bartenders scurried off and came back with an absurd excuse: “You don’t come here enough to buy a square.” Seriously? This is a bar, not some exclusive social club. Ok, weirdos. Later.
And let’s be real—the place is nothing special. The owner is an egotistical jerk, the food is sub par, and the crowd? Well, let’s just say if you’re looking for a lively, fun atmosphere, this isn’t it. Unless you have a thing for geriatric regulars sipping on bland soup while gatekeeping a Super Bowl pool, save your money and go somewhere that actually appreciates paying customers! Caio
I love this local sports bar! The chicken tenders are great. The food it better than bar food and drinks decently priced. The common areas are clean. Overall exactly my expectations for a sports bar.
Does not smell like smoke.
Came here to try out Rocky mountain oysters for the first time. Since it's my first time trying them I cant personally judge how good they are but they were good and came with a good amount of fries. The burgers were crazy good. Asked for medium and got the most perfectly medium burger I ever had. The coleslaw was only cabbage and a bit too sweet but flavorful. The chili with the burger tasted canned but still was a nice addition.
Good quality food and bev selection. They offered good quality blue cheese dressing, which can be hit or miss for most sports bars. Live music was a good addition for the night. Be warned, It can be off-putting if you are not in the mood for loud music because it's loud even at the entrance of the bar (we heard a table next to us complain about it). I highly recommend a visit!
