ON MARCH 30, 6pm went for nice quiet dinner and WOW! The music was so loud you couldn't here yourself. It blew our heads off. I don't know how the customers there could stand it....There was no choice but to leave. We like the place the servers and the food but not with music raising the roof. Very dissapointing! Not sure if and or when we'll go back.

Nice & clean small bar, it is rather popular during the day & weekends I've noticed while driving by, food is very good & the staff is friendly & attentive. Week day evenings are not busy at all & there are plenty of TV's here to catch a game. Prices were decent as well. Definitely would recommend this bar.Parking: Small lot on side of building & street parking is available. During the busy times it can be rather difficult to find a close spot but within walking distance there are several places to park.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible ramp from parking lot, long ramp low angle.

Really clean small bar. The staff is wonderful and can make delicious drinks! Not too loud and just a chill vibe away from crowds. First time here, and we love it!

Wife sad to learn that the menu change and the bean burger is no longer. The Swiss portobello mushroom burger was very good, no gravy.

I was prepared to be underwhelmed. I ended up being surprised. The food (I had a Reuben with a side salad) was excellent and filling (and the greens were fresh). They have a small variety on tap, including my favorite local brew WitchSlap. Apparently a very good variety in bottles. All the usual suspects in the mixed drink department. Service was fin for a slowish Saturday post-noon. An only slightly rednecky aura by my estimation. But I do know a lot of local influencers do quietly visit. Another one of CR's best hidden secrets.

Garlic bread with au jus piled high. Au jus was a little bit 2 salty but with adding water made it perfect. Not 2 much water though as it would totally ruin. Seashore fries I have 2 say the best most amazing fries I've tried. The waitress was awesome 2! She was on point with our drinks very friendly & helpful getting the food order 2 go. She brought some sunshine on a really bad day.
