Not fancy, not trendy, just good food and beer and a warm welcome. Love this place. Also has a pool table and a ton of darts boards.

Still a fun place to go but I feel like they're kind of running on fumes at the moment. Every time I've gone in, the men's room has gotten a little scarier and the pile of broken chairs in the corner is growing. It just seems like they're existing but not taking steps to improve.. That said, the bar staff is super friendly and they still bring in fun entertainment. I hope they start taking pride in the establishment again and clean up the rough edges.

For real, y'all need to put some money back into the business. It's became a run down building with leaks in the roof, a bucket to catch the water, I almost tripped over a bucket full of water right next to the pool table,

Pre pandemic this was a decent little dive bar. Not anymore. I went in on a Friday to have a couple of beers and maybe a burger. First off the blonde bartender was terrible. One of the worst I've ever experienced- and I will admit I HAVE been around. She was terribly inattentive (except to the one guy-boyfriend ?- that she rarely pulled away from. Walked back to the backside of the bar and took a look in the kitchen. There was a lanky, mangey looking dude wearing a nasty ass apron watching TV. That pretty killed my desire for a burger. Eventually I finished my beer, sorry to see what this joint had become. I doubt I ever return.

As a 50 year dive bar connoisseur traveling all around the country, this place has it all. Really good food, strong drinks, great prices bartenders that love their customers and loyal locals!! Been coming here for the last 15 years during the Keeneland racing meet and this is our first stop!!

It's a little dingy, but the staff are friendly, fun, and do their best to make you feel welcomed. It's a great spot for trivia. The food is what you'd expect from a bar.

The DJ said they do not allow any rap or hip hop songs for karaoke due to the owner thinks it is inappropriate

Stephanie and Amanda are wonderful bartenders. Great place to listen to music!

This place is nasty and as gross as every bartender that works there!! And most of the customers that keep going and going and going there- to probably try and keep the place open that should be SHUT DOWN!!

Food is good but not enough/slow staff. Waited over 20 minutes for a drink

They have good food it's definitely your country type of atmosphere I like it here plus its close to home. but Miss Stephanie here can be kind of rude and she likes to throw guilt trips on people but other than her everyone else is very friendly

I've been to this place more than a few times for trivia which is awesome. However, my most recent visit will probably be my last. There was no music, and although televisions were turned on they were all on mute. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for the bartender, Stephanie. She loudly rambled through one conspiracy theory after another about the Pope and Queen Elizabeth being arrested and the "real king" being a pedophile. She said this repeatedly and that "JFK Junior is still alive". Next, she proudly announced that she would only listen to the news if it was Sean Hannity and that "Michelle Obama is a man". Seriously? I couldn't get out of this place fast enough. Listening to that BS isn't the way I want to spend ANY meal or ANY amount of time. She didn't appear to be intoxicated or on drugs so I can't even say that's what was happening. I've never had an issue with servers here previously but this one easily takes last place. In addition, she was 13 minutes late for her shift. When I was sitting there with only one employee who was mopping the floor and one employee in the kitchen, I guess that should have been my first sign to leave.
