Live blues music on Thursdays is amazing. Crawfish are next level and they always have drink and food specials. Biggest patio on the west side. New Owners are making some amazing changes. I can't wait to see what's next.

Bartenders need to learn how to read ID’s. Place was dead and empty
Wasn’t sure what to expect food wise. I knew this place was just a bar but it’s a fun place and the food was super decent. Nice service.

I really enjoy coming here but it’s sad to see the new owners have increased the prices so much. Almost $5 for bottle domestic beer is robbery for the location it’s at. New owner is also a little creepy.

On saturday, I met up with a friend here to grab a couple drinks. The atmosphere was fantastic.The live music was great.The food was okay.I liked it enough to eat it and not complain.But I almost wanted another burger. However, there was a mix up with payment. I got charged twice.When the second charger should have gone to my buddy's card. Because it's the weekend that's not gonna show up in our bank accounts until at least monday or tuesday at the latest. So when I saw that I was double charged today, I attempted to show up and have them rectify the mistake. I don't know who the older lady is at the bar during the daytime, but she's absolutely terrible with customer service. The rest of the staff were cool, tho . Apparently, they don't have a manager available until Friday. Understandable given the holiday.
Anyways, I'm sure it'll get resolved.

It's an icehouse, meaning it's a bit of a dive. But it's in a good location, plenty of free parking, safe and friendly staff and patrons. Good enough food with friendly service and reasonable prixes. Older crowd, not fancy, just a bar with lots of TVs and a regular loyal repeat crowd. Been there for decades. Large area off to the side of the main bar good for groups. Great to watch major sporting events like play offs and superbowl. Often a free food bar for the big events.
Parking: A lot of close free parking, but it fills up fast, so you may have to park at the end of the lot and walk a bit during peak hours and sport events.
