This bar has had a lot of great memories for me. I grew up doing all our family Thanksgivings here. My Gma and Gpa Sharon and Leo owned it when it was crickets. Its Definitely weird to walk in and see it look so different but I'm glad Ryan allowed us to come in and celebrate my grandmothers last hoorah! She will be missed. Thank you Eastside!

I didn't have any food while I was at this bar, but it seemed to be a pretty cool little spot, a few pool tables, a couple of dart boards, a Foosball table, and karaoke at a certain time of the night which was a first for me to visit, also had great drink prices.

Kudos to these gals busting their backs running this bar while there's a ton of college kids here after a home game. One bouncer. No bar back. Who writes this schedule? I sure hope those that are here are being fairly compensated for how hard they are working. No reason they should be so severely understaffed on a home game Saturday. Would give 5 stars if whoever managed this place had any clue how to staff appropriately.

Great College bar. Smells like stale beer.Little loud. But, if that's what you're looking for, then it will be perfect!

4/5Would be 5/5 but the last 5 times I've been here they blare 1980s hairband music, everytime I've put money in the jukebox of any kind of genre you can think of and they turn it down so low you can't hear it and I'm out 5-10$

The bouncer was on a big power trip last night. My friend and I went to the bar and waited in line for 20 minutes to get a drink the check came out to 8 dollars and my friend tipped 4 dollars. A drunk guy next to us started saying how my friend was being disrespectful for not tipping and I tried showing him how he tipped over 50% but he wasn’t listening to me. The drunk guy goes over to the bouncer and tells him my friend was being disrespectful. The bouncer very aggressively grabs my friends drink out of his hand and throws it away then grabs him by the shoulders and pushes him out the front door. I walked over to the bouncer to try and see what was happening and he started to get verbally aggressive with me for absolutely no reason. Not sure we will ever feel comfortable again to go back after how horribly we were treated for no reason. The only reason I did give one star is because the bartender was nice but besides that horrible experience.

Best karaoke in town ?

If you stop here for any reason, it better be to have a great laugh at the restroom doors.Trivia night was fun.Sorta your usual selection of drinks, with a few great crafts tossed in.And clean. Very clean. One of the best perks of the place, is it isn't a mess.

Great service and prices. It's a great place to just kick it. Lots of different fun things on the evenings.

Dom is a great employee and enjoys their job. Made us want to stay longer and hang out. Great experience.
I remember it as Cricket's. But it still has a nice atmosphere, and the bartenders are pretty cool. Nice place to hang out.

Played the open jam last night. The house band was very accommodating. Good times!

Wednesday's Open Mic was great! I loved the vibe, and everyone was nice. If you are looking to get a dress rehearsal in for your band or just want to rock out, the stage setup is great. Wish I could go to more Open Mics.

A truly great, welcoming weekly event for individual musicians through full bands to perform. Super fun to watch, super fun to participate in! VERY well managed!

I really like the new location closer to downtown, especially for karaoke. Red runs the most fun karaoke setup I've ever been to.. his sound effects and entertaining personality adds a fun, hilarious element to the experience (such as Macho Man's "OH YEAH!" and applause after the song is over). He is very encouraging to the singers, and he creates an atmosphere where everyone there gets invested in the singers and the music, which makes karaoke a blast. Kudos to Red! The bartenders have always been on the ball and are also super friendly. As of this review, karaoke is every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday.I hope to see Monday night open back up for karaoke! But I will definitely be back for Red's karaoke asap!
