Amazing old timey venue. They have expanded since I was last there, adding more seating. There are 2 tiers of seating on the second floor that can also see the stage. The service was great, didn't wait longer than 30 seconds for a drink and the food (basic, quick but delicious food) came out quickly and hit the spot. Reasonable prices as well.

Well, with so many good reviews maybe I caught this place on a bad night... This was my first time here. First, there was no air conditioning. I'm not sure if it was broken or that's just the way they roll but it was really, really hot. Almost unbearably so. It's a dive bar with a sound stage... Loose tile on the floor, our table wobbled, the chairs have seen better days. It has a dining room/bar downstairs and a bar/dining room/balcony upstairs. From the balcony you look straight down on the band. Because the show we attended was sold out, they had a limited menu which wasn't all that appealing, but I understand the intent behind it. What I don't understand was having one server for the entire downstairs... ?‍♂️ The food was underwhelming, there wasn't a lager, pilsner or kolsch on draft and they ran out of glasses. Midway through the service they switched to smaller plastic cups. And we were overcharged. When we brought it to the attention of the bar tender he said we'd have to wait for the manager... After 10 minutes of waiting it was clear she was just too busy to address our problem. We gave up and paid the overcharged bill. Did I mention it was really hot in there? The service staff were all really nice which is why this gets a 2 instead of a 1 star review.

We saw a lot of locals and obviously people really seem to like coming here. However, I don't think I'll be back, especially if there's no AC.

Well, I really wanted to love this place but there were definitely problems. The food? Well, let's just say don't let the food be the reason you come here. Nothing worthy of even talking about really. The atmosphere is just weird. It's hard to get an unobstructed view of the stage, there was no air conditioning (on an *extremely* hot summer evening), not enough seats for all the paying patrons there to see the show, I could go on... The redeeming points were that the concert was great (though the sound could have been better) and the staff was friendly. Unless it was the only venue I could see someone I'm dying to see, I won't be back, unfortunately.

Great music, attentive staff and a multi dimentional experience, as you could watch the band upstairs,or down. Outside, or in. If you get there on time, I'm sure the food is great.

This is the best bar ever. The family that owns the bar are the nicest people you could ever want to know in life. The bar has a good crowd of the nicest people you ever want to meet. The band is always fantastic. The food is delicious. The lunch bun is awesome. Love you guys give it a try. You’ll love it.
