I was a first timer. I live 58 minutes outside of the city. I walked in and was skeptical on the entire place. Full of random pictures of musicians. So I Looked up what the place was about after we got in.. And boy Howdy, what a history on the place. From walking in and greeted by Charles, the Bouncer/host/busier, amazing person, was a rock star! To then asking if Larry the owner was there; and HE WAS!!! They make you feel as family! I would support them 150% in the inner city, everyone there is something special. I’d love to talk with Charles more, and Larry; WOW! What a cool guy! I just love it. I’ll be back for sure! 10/5 stars for them!

Fantastic atmosphere, best grilled cheese I’ve ever had, and live music with outdoor seating.
Make sure to give a fist bump to my man Charles. He did a fantastic job of keeping me safe from all the ladies who thought he was cooler than me including my wife.

Great atmosphere and unique kitschy vibe. Definitely my new favorite bar! And delicious grilled cheese. So many antiques and nick-knacks to look at. Also love the music.

The owner literally pointed a shotgun at my friend and got hauled away in a police car. I would avoid this place and their crazy owner.

Edit - The response was this was a lie, but it very much isn't. I was there as well as many other witnesses. It was a few years ago.

Good grilled cheese! ? and that pickle and ranch were good! Drinks were strong ?

I love spiced chai lattes, and this is one of the best I've had on this side of the pond. Only reason it wasn't 5's across the board is due to it not being iced as ordered. Otherwise, an absolutely brilliant experience.
