“This is my drunk honest opinion, if you don’t like cigs get outta hereeee. Vibe is great tbh, the people who come here really don’t give af so just be yourself. Don’t bring lameos here, they got full bar, sports on tv, pool table, touch tunes. Bartenders chill af. Come here with your friends and catch up. Leave your partners at home. Eat popcorn and smoke a cig. Watch out for the step outside ;)“

“Don’t go solo. I was seated in a corner used for extra chair storage away from the main part of Restaraunt. No one else at 2 tables. Plenty of empty tables in main part. Made me feel like I had BO oh well. Plenty of other places where they let you sit with everybody else.“
