I love coming here. They have an extensive beer selection, pool in the back, and they serve hot dogs, corn dogs, and pretzels.

Old fashioned was strong and tasty!

This is a fantastic venue with amazing food. Additionally the customer service is top tier.

Came in hoping to get a hot toddy, and got served the best hot toddy I’ve ever had! Hit the spot on a cold fall day. Super cozy inside, and had a solid happy hour menu. Will definitely be coming back.

The Sunday night bartender, woman with glasses, was rude and spoke to us in a very condescending tone. We asked for change for the pool table, and she kept insisting we order drinks right away. We weren’t in a rush to order, but she assumed we weren’t going to buy anything and just wanted to play pool. Her attitude was aggressive and made us feel unwelcome — it honestly made us not even want to spend our money there. We did end up ordering two shots, but the whole interaction was uncomfortable. Overall, a weird and unpleasant experience.

The place looks inviting from the outside — great location and atmosphere — but the staff completely ruin the experience. We live just a few blocks away and really wanted to love this spot for its convenience, but every visit has been worse than the last. The employees are consistently rude, dismissive, and make it clear you’re not welcome unless you’re part of their inner circle. It feels less like a neighborhood restaurant and more like a high school clique that never grew up. Hopefully ownership takes a closer look at who’s representing their business.

Absolutely great atmosphere. Jimbo was amazing. Just stopped by for a drink, but really wished I had more time.

The Monday night crew at this place is so bad and definitely needs to be held accountable for the way they run this place. I have had good experiences in past but for bartenders and servers acting rude to patrons that clearly waited for a long time before being served is not acceptable. Definitely lost our business for future and will not recommend others to spend their $$ here as well, there’s a lot of good establishments around here to support.

Underwhelming and not worth it. Service was friendly but extremely neglectful. Cheese curds were way too salty. Chicago dog was nothing special.

We sat at this bar for an hour and barely got served. The waiter clearly said at one point “oh I forgot I’ll get that in 30 seconds” then proceeded to talk to his friend and not deliver the drink for another 5 minutes. Then when we were too fed up and went inside to order I placed my order at the bar and the bartenders decided to not serve us again and start talking so I said loudly I was not being served so they got upset and said I was being unruly and declined to serve me and my friends. I’ve never had a bad experience enough to review a place. So disgusting.

Great local hang out. Love the vibes and the people working here. Very calm and laid back. Would love if their espresso martinis weren't pre-made but other than that awesome place to visit!

I usually love this bar and have been coming here for years, but I had an odd experience on Sunday, Aug 31. The bartender was repeatedly screaming, but it was the type of loud horror scream that made the whole place go silent and look for danger. My table thought there was an emergency/someone was hurt/etc. It turned out the bartender was screaming because of a flying bug. After the 5th scream that silenced the bar and made everyone jump out of their skin, we left. People were also leaving the bar seats because it was such a weird situation. Love the bar, good bar bites, cute atmosphere, but we had to leave solely because the screaming was making us feel uncomfortable/causing panic. I’m only coming on here so hopefully the bartender can be more aware/management can address.
