“I love this place. Tied to Dingo's across the street, it's a terrific little venue (maybe can hold a couple hundred people when packed) to watch heavier, live music. Fred doesn't hold back with the largely disregarded genre of metal music when he books groups, though he books plenty of other varieties as well. Cheap tickets, reasonable alcohol prices and you can order in food from the sister place across the way. Cheers to the regional Metal oasis that is Dingbatz!“

“Excelente!!
⭐ I love this bar! ⭐ It’s super close to me, and they have 🎱 pool table, 🎲 board games, 🎯 darts, and comfy seating—even a 🛋️ sofa-style chair where I can lie back, relax, and put my feet up after a long day. 🍹 The bar has two distinct areas for drinking, which I find special:

✅ At the entrance, there’s a quiet, relaxed space perfect for unwinding. Here, Sam, one of the bartenders, provides excellent service. He’s usually there on Fridays, and his good vibes and kindness really stand out. Thanks, Sam! 🙌

✅ In the back, there’s a livelier atmosphere where they host 🎤 karaoke events, 🎭 stand-up comedy, and 🎂 birthday parties. There's also a 🎶 music machine to play your favorite songs and the 🎱 pool table for some fun. In this area, Carlos, the bartender, is always working with some girls, making sure everyone’s having a great time and keeping the party vibe alive. Thanks, Carlos! 🍻

🎙️ Tuesday nights are for Open Mic/Stand-up Comedy, and Wednesdays are Karaoke Night. The place has a great vibe and a chill, welcoming atmosphere. 🎉

Long story short: Whether you’re in the mood to relax or party—whatever your vibe is—this is the place to be! 📺 I also noticed they have TVs, but I’m not sure if they show ⚽ soccer games. I’ll ask next time. 🙏

Special shoutout to the owner, Alfred, who always makes sure I have free popcorn when I’m there! 🍿 ⭐ Five stars from me for Teddy Bar! ⭐“
