“Another Great Dive I wish I remembered the name of nice old gentleman behind the bar. He is in the picture I posted. This is old dove bar that only serves drinks. The bartender was so friendly to us and had a shot with us. Prices are very fair and they always have live music. If you like dive bars, this is definitely one for you. Thanks“

“great drinks, friendly bartenders and a cool atmosphere. they have regular events like karaoke and dungeons and dragons. they also rotate the arcade machines periodically throughout the year, i believe the current selection is available to view on their website but has many popular 80s and 90s multiplayer arcade games in various genres. they also have a room with couches, pinball and board games. there is an outdoor fenced in smoking section as well. the frozen mixed drinks are a personal favorite of mine. in the past they've sometimes had pop-up restaurant concepts hosted but don't, to my knowledge, ordinarily serve food of their own. great date spot, or to go with friends and play some games. it would be fun even without drinking if you're just wanting to play games.Parking: parking is catch as catch can. there are some paid lots in the area, as well as some limited street parking. but on a busy night, it can be tricky to find a space sometimes.“

“First time coming here was a great experience. From the time I walked through the door I was greeted by every staff member which made me feel very welcomed. Walking in and looking around reminded me of the show “cheers”. I also enjoyed the great and rotation selection of local beers and the honest feedback from the bartenders. It seems to be a great neighborhood bar where people from the area frequent. The only recommendation is I wished the had a variety of oyster options and be careful with the horseradish, a little goes a long way but overall great experience and I will be returning.“

“Went here randomly. Parking was a small hassle. Bar was cool, the margarita was super strong!!! Got the Philly cheesesteak with fries and some hot wings. The wings and fries were alright, but the Philly was so good I wanted to order another one! For two meals and two margaritas we spent about $50, not too “

“It's a smoking bar. The food there has never been disappointing. Maybe 4 star ONE time! I found Bradley's when I was working in the area for lunch. Decided to try it and the lunch special was country fried steak. It. Was. Amazing. Finally convinced the Bride to give it a try and now she wants to go there frequently, so frequently that one of the bartenders knows what we want to drink! Yeah, we need to air out some clothing when we leave due to the smoke. Just be sure to ask the bartender about what has been stocked in the vending machine....“

“Very chill place. The bar tender was super sweet and patient since it was my first time at a real bar. Helped me pick a drink and gave me some recommendations. The vibes were super chill if you would prefer a quiet night as opposed to a more lively bar.“

“This was my second time here. On both occasions they were host to a invite only special event as an offshoot to Whiskey x. This definitely has a dive bar kind of feel. The bartenders are nice and the drinks are well made but this is not a high-end or trendy kind of place. They have some standard video games and the sports game on tv. The prices are reasonable. You can park in the back and it technically says that you have to pay“

“Have been a "regular" for a long time, but since nearly 100% WFH home, this has become my "second office" for lunch! Wether you have Nicole, Payton or Sidney as your bartender/server - conversation and service are top notch along with the food. Personally I go for the "black and bleu" burger when it's on special, but you can't really go wrong with anything on the menu!Kid-friendliness: Always kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Both spaces and restroom“
