Descent prices. Didn't eat but I have heard the food is good. Bartender was nice and the on the ball. Was new years eve when I stopped and it was packed and not my vibe. I got there after midnight and there was some blonde woman yelling and screaming at an older black gentleman dressed to impress. He kept coming around talking to people near her and she would go off again, which then pulled more people into the situation. No idea why she was so upset just made it super awkward for a first timer

The greatest experience with Alee and Caitlyn! They took the greatest care of me and the guests I arrived with! I made sure to leave an extra tip and give them plenty of compliments because they worked so hard on a holiday no less! They deserve the best!

I love this place. The first time we ordered it was through door dash and the food was amazing so we thought we would stop in this time. We dropped in to see the crowd of regulars on a Wednesday night. Perfect little hole in the wall place. The bartender and cook were amazing and super friendly people. I love a bar you can smoke in because I’m a smoker myself. They have skill games and a jukebox. Pennies all over the place which was cool as hell. We will definitely be back. ❤️

Super cool, awesome atmosphere, great staff, ... Well lots of freaking pennies! Years and years ago the owner offered 25 cent drafts but you had to pay in pennies. They then decorate the entire bar in them. All the table, bar top, and a cool display. Daily specials including 50 cent wings all day Tuesday and Sunday, 25 cent wings Thursday night. Not kidding this post is from October 2024! Other specials such as $5 burger and fries on Wednesday, $1 tacos on Monday. Good beer, good food, great staff.

Highly recommend!

10/17/24, I got two orders of mild wings. The wings were incredibly dry and overcooked, and the takeout boxes themselves had a pool of messy sauce in the bottoms that unevenly coated the wings and made eating them both messier and a lot more unpleasant than it had to be. The sauce itself didn't taste mild, it tasted like hot sauce in a way that wasn't even good, it was just obnoxious and tasted bad.

The service was awful. I placed a mobile pickup order on DoorDash as I was already in town and wanted bar wings and that was the fastest and easiest way to order and pay for them, as they were the place with wings I was closest to anyway. When I arrived at the bar to pick them up, the very nice bartender informed me that they weren't done yet, which I was okay with. I was directed to go stand next to a door that said "staff only", and I didn't want to step down into an area clearly marked for staff only, so I stood there and waited. Eventually an older individual with short dyed red hair, who I assume must work there, walked up to me and was SUPER unnecessarily rude and nasty. I don't know if she thought I was a DoorDash driver - I wasn't, I'm a paying customer, I just used the app - but even if I WAS, how she spoke to me was TOTALLY unacceptable. Just because someone is doing a gig job picking up food doesn't mean they deserve to be spoken down to. Anyway, she snapped at me that I had to step down into the staff only area and "yell into the kitchen that I'm here for food, or stand outside the outside door if it is open and talk through the screen because they can't see through walls to know I'm there." Which, whatever. I was trying to be polite and not go somewhere customers aren't supposed to. I apologized and told her I didn't want to step into an area marked staff only, and she interrupted me and told me that doesn't matter, I have to go to the kitchen next time (instead of them just sending the food out when it's done like literally most other places I have ever been to to grab a pickup order), said another snippy line or two. Well, there's not going to be a next time lmao. If you want overdone wings and bad customer service in a dark and seedy atmosphere, this is the place to go! Talking that way to someone regardless of why they're there is wild.

I asked for crispy fries. They came out not crispy. So I asked them to cook them longer. They did but still wasn't crispy. When I asked them to cook them longer the bartender Kaitlyn got mad. She said I should have asked for crispy in the first place. I did, I always do; but the there was a loud rock song playing and she didn't hear me. Regardless any bar cook can make crispy fries. Just try them before sending them out to see if they're crispy. Won't be back where I get yelled at for wanting my fries crispy. Plus drink special was two dollars but was charged $8 for a drink special and a shot of grenadine.

It was decent and pretty quiet for a 25 cent wing night. One barkeep not so friendly, the other one was. So she got the tip!
