Beloved and iconic dive bar in the heart of Saratoga. Plenty of booze and character to fill your evening. Attracts a young and vibrant crowd.
Start talking up the bartenders for more colorful antidotes about the local area.

Kid-friendliness: don't bring your kids here, seriously. it's a bar.

ITS GIVING HOME AWAY FROM HOME ? ? the female security guard is the coolest, most down to earth woman around, bartenders pour heavy and treat you like gold. hella good energy. you'll only have a bad time if you suck as a person. highly recommend

Denied my real identification. The bouncer physically put their hands on me because a person in my group had a real id that their system denied. We called the cops and had them confirm that the Identification was real. They still put their hands on me and pushed me out of their establishment. My friends and I had an AWFUL experience and would NOT recommend this bar. DO NOT CHOOSE THIS BAR.

I've worked here for almost 30yrs, I think it's pretty neat.

Went to have a drink after a concert and the very rude woman security guard through my entire bee at me which is basically assault because I asked for a to go cup and told me I'm not allowed to leave the bar and when I told her I'm an attorney and she isn't following the law and by forcing someone to stay is not legal, she got angry and threatened me with violence and dumped my beer all over my shirt. Would recommend another place.

Was in Saratoga Springs for the Hozier concert, May 19th. My boyfriend and I decided to stop in for a drink. We live over two hours away and I worked in a bar very very similar to this. This was one of my favorite parts of the trip. The vibes were great, bartender was great, just all around good experience. If I’m ever that way again, I’ll be sure to stop in!

Bartenders are great but this place has been going downhill for 30 years. The place must be printing money but instead of putting some back in the owner follows around young girls.I get it's a dive but it doesn't have to be a dump.

They have pinball, friendly energy, and a perfect dive bar bathroom. So hard to find any of these 3 since I moved to upstate NY.I don’t drink and I’ll come back just for the vibes
