Reality, it's a local dive bar. Bartender Dave is a truly good artist. Look him up if you're looking for a unique gift.

Classic dive bar with rockabilly vibes... Crazy I've been to this bar to see more shows than I have went there to drink...

A+ dive bar. Staff is great, pours are generous, prices can't be beat.

A pleasantly open space bar with a homey feel. I was a little taken aback by the picture of my mother on the wall but other than that trauma...I enjoyed myself.

A cash only dive bar with a great Sunday brunch at 11am. Play some bar dice with the locals and enjoy good vibes.

Great neighborhood dive with live punk, metal, americana and alternative music. Friendly bartenders. On going events,a drive bar with something extra.

The company and bartender was great. 2nd time I've been in there. I like that place. It's tucked away. I actual forgot it was even there. But I do like that place..u need to go more often.

Go say hi to Dave and check out his art, it's amazing!

Really disappointed in the blatant discrimination displayed by the bartender Saturday night. She only ever acknowledged me, the white woman in the relationship, and said that she would be with me shortly...that is, until she saw that I was with my girlfriend, who is a woman of color. At first we believed that she was just busy, but 15 minutes into waiting at the bar, we saw her helping herself to drinks, giving drink recommendations to other patrons who didn't even ask, etc. Next time you decide to be a bigot, try being a little less obvious about it. We will not be returning to an establishment where we obviously are not welcome.

Bigoted and not shy about it. My girlfriend and I were looking forward to an art show that was hosted here. When we arrived, there was no art and nobody told us if the show was over or made us aware of the back room where it may have been held (despite the fact that we arrived with plenty of time to spare). We waited 15 minutes at the bar, while the bartender helped herself to shots and served everyone but us, the only interracial & gay couple in the building. She told us twice that she'd be with us in a minute, but we called bull when she started going out of her way to help others who arrived long after us, offering drink recommendations to people who didn't ask, etc. If you're going to discriminate, try not to be so obvious about it next time. 0/10, will not return to an environment where we are clearly not welcome.

Perfect little dive bar for whatever suits your fancy. They have events all the time and the bartenders are super friendly. I love the vibe!
