“The Q is the best bar in town! Great bartenders! Awesome people! So much fun!����“

“Missed Happy Hour on a Tuesday, but ordered an IPA and tacos. Beer could have been colder. Tacos were excellent. Parking is somewhat difficult. Don't look up at ceiling--lots of dust around fans that are directly overhead. Dining room was closed because of leaks in roof.“

“Great prime rib and excellent service“

“Friendly staff, fun environment.“

“This is a great bar. The TVs are huge and the huskers were on. That’s always a win. Liked the friendly bartender and the fast service and good drink prices. But what I especially liked was that the whole bar - including the bathroom- smelled nice. Like, not cheap air freshener, but actually nice fragrance. It did not smell like a typical dive bar. It’s the little things.“

“One of my fav "secret" places amazing people and always a great time. And made to feel welcome. Just a small town bar and tasted like family. Found this place years ago from a busy if mine. And have visited often when our fishing or just because. Must check out the ice bar.“

“Started coming here about 6mo ago after moving to the area. It has quickly become our regular spot. The team running the place is great, making everyone feel welcome.

They have a broad selection of liquors, beers, and seltzer to choose from. Drinks are made well and priced right.

Multiple dart boards and pool tables to choose from along with beer pong and bar games as well.

Always a good time here at Obar.“

“Our waitress was very attentive! Vodka basil gimlet for the win 🌿“

“The atmosphere is unmatched. As far as country dive bars go, there's no one better. The food is unbelievably good and so inexpensive. It should be a crime. Buck, the owner and his staff create one of the best atmospheres you will ever experience.“

“The place is spotless. The foods delicious. The bathrooms are beautifully decorated, and modern. It's obvious the owners care about their customers comfort, and enjoyment. I also noticed they have many events. I went to their benefit poker tournament to play. I had the most fun I'd had in years.“

“I had an event hosted there and the service was incredible, the owner took care of everything I needed and went above and beyond. There were many people coming and going all night and the staff was extremely tentative to our needs. Not to mention they were extremely easy to work with on the setup or the event. Thank you so much for making my night stress free and easy!!“

“Always prompt and friendly service. Nice menu variety. Good food! Comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere. Nightly specials are great. A++++“

“Hosted a bridal shower there. Natalie was wonderful to work with. The food was very good, and the event room was the perfect size. An overall great experience!“

“Always love coming here with our family! They go above and beyond to help get us set up and get our family situated- even in busier nights. It's a family favorite and the food is amazing. Definitely try the southwest eggrolls- we get them everytime because they're just that good. Valley native or not- they'll make you feel at home!“

“Wonderful prime rib special on Thursday night. Very delicious; melt in your mouth. The desserts are also amazing.“

“The staff was more than accommodating for our track team looking for a place to grab a meal as a team with families. Thank you so much to the great staff for flawlessly taking care of us all“

“We reserved Jack’s party room for an after-work office social. Great room, food selections were wonderful and server was GREAT!! (Paige). Would absolutely recommend for any party/social for a group!!“

“5 stars for no other reason than they don’t “surcharge” their customers for paying via CC. They have transparent menu pricing, and if you want to pay with cash they will give you a 4% discount. This is how it should be done. Kudos to you, Hectors!“

“We just went to the new club last night. It was amazingly set up, clean and overall impressive. The staff were all super nice and seemed like they genuinely like their jobs. The comic was great of course but the overall experience funny bone gives is top notch!“

“Great place to come to meet, relax, and a bit of good too. I had the Chicken bacon ranch wrap minus the tomatos, with tots and added starters of Jalapeno poppers with a classic Root Beer to wash it all down.
They have weekly specials on their menus, with a wide variety to choose from. My waitress Mandy was very good, and observing the staff is great to connect with their customers through the place. Mandy mentioned they have live music the plays here too. Nice! 😎

So come and check this place out, as the prices are fair with good quality of food to enjoy too!
😏 I chose being by the warm fireplace...“

“Delicious food from a local bar. Didn’t have the best staffing, only 1 waitress servicing the entire spot, but she was working hard and the food was worth the wait. The cauliflower and wings were our favorites. The chicken strips were huge! The chicken sandwich was also huge!“
