There were 21 of us all together and everyone was well cared for by server Lily and the rest of the awesome staff. I really love the unique atmosphere of the place -warm, classy and comfortable all at once. No boring old chain restaurant vibes here. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely host future events here.“

“This is the dive bar that reminds you nobody does dive bars right anymore. I don't even drink and I go here for games just because the vibes are right. Also, the people complaining about the food are snobs. The food is good (especially the wings); it's a bar not a country club.“

Sportzone Bar & Grill Bar • $$

“Just moved here from Hawai'i and I was so excited to live right next to this bar.

Ambience: An intimate space with a pool table, darts, and a great DJ playing the slaps! Great place to watch NFL games for sure!
Service: The female bartender was so nice and attentive. She even gave us free shots before we left, and I will absolutely be back because of that!
Drinks: We ordered a screwdiver and a whiskey sour, which were super strong but still drinkable. I also ordered kamikaze shots, which were very yummy!

We will definitely be back to this spot whenever we can, and I recommend you check it out too!“

“The pizza here is pretty good, but the service is average at best. There really isn't much of an atmosphere at all, though. So I'd recommend take out. They do have a 2 plain pie special for $25 including tax which is a good deal, but when I ordered it he wanted to charge me $36 because I didn't mention that I was calling for the special over the phone. He claims you have to say you want the special, which makes me wonder if he makes it different. This makes no sense to me. A plain pie is a plain pie.“
