First experience was going to be my last, but Josh talked me into giving it another try since management switched hands. Much better experience the second time around. Cool place to catch a game.

We had a very bad experience. bar was full of rednecks , no one else could get a drink and there's no reason to return.

The bouncer and his friends run the place. Young guns will bully outsiders and the bouncer backs them.

This place is wretched. I have have drinks put on my tab other people have bought me more than once. I asked my friends and we checked our recipes. We were both charged for the same drink.

It's too small and too loud for the small area. It's not a venue. It's a bar that wants to charge like it's a venue.

The big guy likes to spread rumors and talk about customers to other customers. This is not becoming of a bartender. A professional bartender should not be creating drama in the bar they work in.

Fights all the time.

They survive off tourism. The crappy service doesn't matter to them because you are just there a week.

They had the band Perfect Tommy play. Worst band, you couldn’t understand the singer and the music was so loud it was excruciating!!!

My husband and I had the best time. We went a total of three different occasions and had Josh as our bartender for two of them (he is phenomenal btw). Once we showed up with a whole wedding party and he accommodated all of of amazingly and the another night we came with just the two of us for some drinks and all the fun games they have and ended up staying for hours. Can’t recommend it here enough!

This place is abysmal. It’s the opposite of customer focused. If you’re looking for a good time with old friends, this is not the place ,stay away.

No food available here, but you can bring in take out! Friendly staff, laid back atmosphere. Pool tables available. Lots of great live music, including open mic on Wednesdays- but Monday karaoke nights are my favorite! Local-centric but visitors are welcome here!

Wheelchair accessibility: High tables, but folding tables and chairs are available. One of our regular Monday night karaoke group uses a wheelchair.

It's a great mix of an outdoor bar vibe and an indoor live music venue.

I loved this bar on July 4 when two amazing humans (a chick and a dude) served me and my girl a couple of drinks and we all told a few stories. Then I returned this evening at their behest…unfortunately Jennifer - who - according to the front door/bouncer - every body hates - basically ignored me whenever I needed a drink. I even tried to buy the old men (who were celebrating birthdays) a round and she tried to squash that too. What a wet blanket (yes that is a G-rated term for what I really want to call her). I don’t care if you hate hot chicks or have been up for 24 hours or whatever the excuse was you were giving the other patrons. You destroyed the image of this business for the owner - and I won’t be back until she’s gone. Customer service still means something. I tipped 50% at dinner 10 minutes before I got to your bar. And I showed you the 100 I’d have given you had you been a great server. Fire this chick. Idk what you guys are waiting for. According to everyone else that worksThere she’s bad for business. From what I’ve seen it’s true.
