I'll give this place five stars because there are the friendliest bartenders around. They used to have terrible very mean bartenders but now they're super friendly and there's nothing better than a friendly bartender. Especially, one that is like a PhD, and then just bartend bc it pays the bills or they just enjoy it that much. So this place is fantastic. I freaking love this place.

Everything you can imagine in a dive bar. Smoking allowed, 75 cent hot dogs, filthy bathrooms and $6.50 Citywide. Enjoy afterwork..left of me an Arts Student to the right a lawyer...makes for interesting conversation.

I saw him here before he ran away, screaming about someone after him and "He wants to see the animals before he's taken back". Good time there!

A dive bar certainly has its place in the world, but this joint is just downright filthy. When asked what you'd like to drink, I strongly recommend you say, "Something in a bottle". The arcade games don't work, and the bathrooms look like a crime scene. The upstairs bar was no better. There was a crotchety male bartender who was wearing a puss on his face like someone pissed in his Cornflakes. There were two inches of chalk dust on everything around the pool table. And yes, everyone inside is chain smoking so you will reek like an ashtray upon leaving.

A home in a the ground, center city drinking hole without pretensions an MD heart drink, if you don't mind the cigarette smoking. It's like a1986 throwback with the Stones playing in the background. A great place for

I'm over 60, so take my opinion with a tbsp of salt.It's a great bar! The kind I grew up with and always liked. Drink, smoke, joke, and then go home. I like it!

Bartender is such a pain. I would definitely go here again if I feel like being treated like a child.

This was a thrill ride. You sit on a toilet covered with stranger pee and brace yourself. If someone walks in? You're going to be exposed to the whole bar, full eye contact. After that harrowing experience, you might be at face level and within 6" of a peeing dong. Right the fuck there. If the dude is packing a mushroom, he'll be behind the wall. Zucchini and above? You're gonna see that dude's weiner. So, the trick is slipping in, spraying the rhino liner, and getting the fuuuuck out. Like, NASCAR pit stop shitting.

Awesome local dive bar that you can still smoke in and enjoy a drink! Lots of locals and regulars but are also very friendly and make it a fun atmosphere. The food, however, doesn't truly exist aside from hot dogs, which, as I was told before going don't have the greatest reputation.Kid-friendliness: Not a kid friendly environment.

No idea why someone would rate this dive bar lower. It's exactly what you expect. Dark, lil smokey, interesting characters. Full disclosure they allow smoking and it's cash only. We came here two days in a row and the bartenders were both friendly and engaging. The bathrooms are a full on crime scene but surprisingly clean? We loved it, if you don't you need to lower your expectations.
