Had the best sandwich ever-The Philly Sandwich covered in their homemade cheese. I would drive 2 hours right now just to have another. Overall, it is a great place to visit, but tough to leave! My apologies, I don't remember the bartender that came in at 10...but she was equally amazing! Can't wait to go back”

    230 East Front Street, Bloomington

    “Neat little place. Staff was fun, polite, and attentive to drink refills but not pushy or trying to "get that extra tip/sale." Patrons were middle-aged, not the young ones who party, get drunk and obnoxious. Music was great. It was my first time here in a long time, and even though there seemed to be a lot of "regulars," the place was welcoming. I'd absolutely stop by again.”

We got the 14 inch thin crust meat lovers pizza. Amazing! We have lots of leftovers! And the potato kegs as an app. Those things are SO GOOD! And Dawn was the best waitress EVER! 🥰 The other waitresses were amazing as well. Super attentive and so very friendly! We will be back! Thanks for the great food and great service!”

There are no beers on tap but to me, this is what makes this my true neighborhood bar. Its like visiting a buddy's home. Plus you can spend 3 hours drinking, eating, playing games and end up with a bill under $45. Owner is a solid dude, bartenders are great, regulars are chill.”

    “I don't know if they even serve food, I wasn't here for food - bar service was fairly fast, friendly, no complaints there. The building itself is relatively modernized, it's clean, it's got a few pool tables and plenty of seating, and to be blunt you could put a lot of people in this building if you had a big group to take somewhere. I was here watching wrestling, which also says something about their willingness to post the occasional social event - which I consider a thumbs up worthy attitude towards the local community. I'd go here again. And I'm not a bar guy so that says a lot.”

    “Was there on a Saturday night. The staff was great and attentive. The jukebox was playing and people were dancing, but it was not so loud that you couldn't talk to folks next to you. The outside patio (no glass bottles allowed) was much quieter, but still had music (and dancing) it was a bluetooth speaker I suspect. Drinks were affordable. I didn't try the food, but heard that they grill out on the patio on Sundays. I enjoyed the atmosphere here very much”

I feel like if you own a bar you should be more friendly as people go there to have fun and relax. But maybe that’s just me. However it’s still 4 stars cause the staff is awesome.”
