The karaoke on Sunday is a lot of fun! The man who runs it has a lot of music! In the beginning if it is slow he will let people do a few songs in a row. But he is also very fair. So once it’s getting busy he will space it out and get everyone in but I have never been to a place that would allow that. He is a great singer himself so I guess he enjoys taking care of people and allowing them to warm up when it’s slow. That’s cool! And the people who come are damn good singers and nice. There are no divas here but some damn good talent. A rare gem!

Possums Pub has been my go-to spot for years, and for good reason. It’s got that perfect neighborhood bar vibe — friendly atmosphere, plenty of familiar faces, and a staff that makes you feel right at home the second you walk in.
The drinks and service are really where Possums shines. Whether you're popping in for a quick one or settling in for the night, bartenders like Todd, Katie, Lexi, and Tammy always have you covered. They're quick, attentive, and just genuinely good people who help make the place what it is.
They also serve up some solid bar food — nothing fancy, but fast and satisfying. Perfect for curing a hangover or fueling up to keep the good times rolling.
If you're looking for a laid-back spot with great drinks, a welcoming crowd, and bartenders who know their stuff, Possums is it.
Looking for something to do without going to a big bar/club scene and stumbled upon this place on google maps decide to give it a try. Being a small dive bar I didn’t have high expectations but it turned out to be a great spot. The bartenders are great people and you can tell they have a lot of regulars and with good reason. Todd was good people, thank you to the bartenders for making this place dope and for the warm welcoming!

I always wash my car right across at the Touch Free Car Wash and decided to give this place a try and get a drink. I got my drink and after being there for about an hour and a half I walked around inside the bar and saw a TouchTunes box. So I decided to play 3 songs. From the moment I got there all the country songs that were playing in the jukebox were playing perfectly well, however the ONLY 3 hip hop songs I played on the jukebox were distorted, chopped, and sounded fast forward. How is it possible that the first hour and a half ALL the country music songs were playing perfectly uninterrupted but my hip hop songs weren't? And not to mention I was only checked up to see how I was doing once and that's because I made eye contact with the bartender. I will NOT be coming back that's for sure.

Always a fun time! Bartenders are fast and friendly, and of course, there is DJ Mannheim and DJ Harris.
Danielle and todd gave a great customer service. They were very friendly and they gave me a good experience for my first time. They are both great love it for my first time. I would absolutely recommend my friends here.
Fantastic bar. Honestly true best service. Mind you this is a dive bar, but it is quite clean and the service is A+. Todd and Katie are your people. Very attentive and very easy people to talk to.
Love them! Local bar that keeps me fed and customers kept me entertained! They have the hot slots

The young bartender guy is super nice. Wife didn’t know what to drink and he made a drink that she LOVED. I even tried it and I loved it! Very genuine guy, doesn’t just look for the money but cares for his customers! Def coming back more often !! Deal him once and you will return just for that nice customer service.

Stopped in yesterday for the first time and had a great time. Tammy was so attentive and poured a nice drink. She was fun and down to earth. I'll definitely be back when she's working (Wednesday, Friday and Sunday days, just an FYI!).
