Dropped in to see the owner play on a Friday night. Old Don can still sing but damn is he out of tune on the piano! Not a big deal but it was noticeable. Place gets packed and getting a drink is ridiculous. Bartenders aren't exactly hopping. They need security to clear the pathways. People are just jammed in and standing in the way so you can't move around. But we had a great time and people were friendly!

We stopped by on 12/23 as we'd heard good things about this dive bar and were excited it was decorated for Christmas. We got there at 6 and got one of the last open tables. They had xmas themed drinks along with your normal assortment. Not a ton of craft beer but not unexpected for a dive bar.

The drinks and shots we had were all pretty good and despite the constant line at the bar, it wasn't as hard as I expected to get drinks and we had several over the two hours we were there.

I appreciated the free popcorn, decor, and live music and would like to go back when its not xmas themed.

Came here at 10 and there’s people inside there having a private party, but instead they decided to tell the customers that they are having problems with the music unbelievable spend money on a uber for nothing and they didnt have it on their website.

Great for live music 🎶 and dance floor. $10 cover for band. Old bar but no food service so eat first. They do have free popcorn.
