I was headed to the hotel to chill before work the next morning. So, I stopped by for a beer. People were in there having fun, talking about sports, and the bartenders gave a family vibe.

Kasha is very nice and Baasha as well . They work different nights but very pleasant. I appreciate their customer service. Treated me and my co workers who were on a layover very well. Good prices far as drinks and wings. The wings were flavorful. They also have a daily special which I feel every bar should have. If you are bored there are a few slot machines and a good amount of TVs available for sports.
