Fun environment. Anyone welcome. Good choice of select craft beers.

This was the first time we ordered food and it wasn’t too bad for frozen bar food. Everything is fried and the bar staff was waiting tables, cooking and serving everything. So service was a little slow. My biggest complaint was the buns on the tenderloin are frozen and actually served half frozen. For that reason, I didn’t eat it. But I’d give it a whirl sometime if I was in the area again.

Charming little place to grab something to eat or relax and have some drinks. Lots of TV's for watching sports and such. It's 10 minutes from the CID airport, which makes it a great location to hit up just before catching a flight. The wings and breaded tenderloin sandwich were great! Service was top notch. Overall a very nice visit. There seems to be a crew of regular patrons who were very welcoming and friendly.

Wings were excellent but the tenderloin didn't meet expectations. Cocktail and beer specials are very good. Very good neighborhood bar.

Tenderloins are pretty damn awesome the service is amazing the place can be a bit dry with the jukebox on super quiet and when there's not a game on.

They need something to liven up the atmosphere in between but otherwise it's a great place

The bartender was not at all knowledgeable about the beer selection & just needed to apply more effort.

Stopped by in a hurry. The staff worked together to accommodate us trying to get in and out quickly while still being friendly. The food was great.

Came here with about 12 people the other day, the service was great. Didn't hover and gave us space to talk and enjoy ourselves. So, for a bar, top notch service (by one lady, who also cooked all the food too).
The food was alright, I got the burger. The cheese was cold-ish and the burger was overdone. But the wings were absolutely a hit. Light crisp, and not the huge wings that look like they got testosterone injected into them, but just the right size. Pizza was also okay too. Their Bloody Mary's looked absolutely amazing, a meal in itself. My mom and her girlfriend got one and they were filled with a huge sausage, cheese stick, celery and a couple other things.
The atmosphere was good too. The music was good, and the place literally filled up within a half hour. This was on a Saturday around 11-12pm too. So all around, for a small Swisher bar, excellent. A definite place to go if you're in the area.

Nice little bar to stop on a motorcycle ride! Service is always great. The people are always friendly and welcoming. Beer is cheep and always cold. My only complaint would be that the bar is way too high for comfort, and I'm 6'1". Otherwise, it's a perfect place to stop!
