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...

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.

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!
