“Awesome place to drink and play games. They also have a great trivia night on Sundays and a Smash Brothers Tournament!“

“The wings here, are everything! I had the opportunity to try the buffalo jerk wings which will blow your mind.
It is seat yourself and the seating went quick, the night I was there. Music was on point. One thing that is unique is how they announce when your order is ready! They definitely have a good time with this.
Overall the atmosphere, food, and service were good. I will definitely be going back.
My picture does the wings no justice but this just means you have to go try it for yourselves. You won’t be disappointed unless you show up and they run out of wings.“

“Won't be the same without pj.“

“1st time at The Earl ☆☆☆☆☆
My wife and I loved it!
The food us DELICIOUS. We had a burger and tots, and a BLT with onion rings.
The servers, bartenders, doorman and staff were ALL EXCEPTIONALLY FRIENDLY.
The atmosphere is eclectic fivr bar, my favorite.. cool decor, old school beers and band stickers everywhere.

We ame to see Lamont Landers and his band is PHENOMENAL. The sound system is great and I highly recommend this venue to see a band.
We will be back 😁“

“Outside dining is great. Tables aren't cleaned nearly enough or well. You'll enjoy seeing artsy people. Many are friendly. Service isn't wow, but decent. The fish and chip, loved the batter and the tenderness of the fish. I was not pleased with the one small cup of tartar sauce. I had to pay a dollar for it.“

“In from out of town but treated like a local from the start. Alex was amazing from the beginning. He was the first one to great us and through out the night was super friendly and attentive. If I was local, this would 100% be my local hang. Will visit again when in town.“

“I really like the feel of this bar. It feels like a great local bar where everyone knows each other and the vibe is real chill.

Let's start with the bad. The parking lot has only 9 spaces and one path to enter/exit the premise. There is some street parking but you have to pay for that.

The place looks huge. Plenty of seating and TVs at the bar. There is an upstairs and outside patio.

I ordered the Stromboli which was huge and cheesy. I also grabbed a beer and cocktail which were good. I like this place.“

“Great dive bar. Friendly staff and a good price on drinks.“

“The experience was more than I expected. My daughter whose in the Navy and stationed oversees came to visit but was leaving on Saturday so I wanted to spend a Friday night with her before she left. Well I was very pleased with the food and the atmosphere. Initially when we arrived I was ready to go to another spot due to it was dead but little did I know we were early. Our waitress I can’t remember her name was the bomb, I give this spot an 11 out of 10.“

“History: My Father’s band use to play here every weekend, (back in the day). I was with him all the the time. Band name was T.E.E, Time Effort Energy. I was very young. This place holds so much life value to me. So many great memories. R.I.P Jimmy Gates Sr. They were a Blues cover band.“

“all of the bartenders are so nice!!! they promote
saferide, a rideshare app to get you and your car home safe if you drink too much, as well as drink testers to make sure your drink wasn't spiked!! all of the bartenders are so genuinely
caring, especially Leon! highly recommend stopping by for a drink :)“
