Local dive. Probably not for your average tourist unless you know the crowd here. Service was slow, and the drinks were weak. Don’t stay past one drink cause it just wasn’t the

A great place to get illegal drugs! Bouncers won’t stop you and stand up for what’s right! Family friendly if you all like coke!

I like hole in the walls but this place just, anyways, wasn’t for me. $4.75 a beer also. I’ve paid more in better places and stayed but this place just, not for me.

As soon as the door opened we were blasted with Fabulosa cleaner that gives me an asthma attack to the smoking in the enclosed patio which also gives me asthma… nothing western about this hole in the wall bar. Rap was playing at the bar and live music, which was country and rock in the back. No one was eating , which we questioned do we didn’t even ask about food. One drink and it was too much there

I've been here a few times and love the prices. The wait staff are very friendly and helpful. They need a bit of tlc for the place. The pool tables are either not level or the balls don't come out correctly. We wasted 3 dollars just to get a full set of balls to play with. And there is literally one pool cue that is decent enough to use. The dj there played the music so loud that it was hurting our ears and we couldn't talk to each other. Even when asked to turn it down, he would turn it down for a song, then just crank it back up, and he didn't take requests. The area by the pool tables is so incredibly hot we were sweating but wanted to play some pool so we had to deal with it. They serve food, but I'm not sure it's every night. It's very tasty though.

If this is "Fades & Shaves" beware, steer away if you like good haircuts.

Not the most welcoming bar I've ever been to but also not the least. I love a good locals bar and don't shy away from trying places out when traveling. I don't know if it was a bad day, end of shift vibes or what but the bartender wasn't the friendliest late afternoon early in the week when I visited. It took a very, very long time to get drinks even while sitting at the bar to the point where I just thought they just wanted me to leave. Granted, everyone was having a hard time getting a drink for some reason.I did enjoy watching the bartender kick out a drunk "poor republican" (his words) who was being obnoxious to both staff and customers.Eventually a local lady broke the ice with us and things felt a bit more comfortable. That was until I went to the bathroom and some guy came over and tried to pick-up my partner.Cash only.

Great home town bar. Our waitress, Jessica, was so helpful and made excellent drinks. She actually was very busy but took the time to talk to us and made great drinks.
