Mikaela is AWESOME šŸ‘Œ šŸ‘ šŸ‘ šŸ˜ Beer prices are reasonable and always cold šŸ„¶ Band nights are too loud and the French fries literally suck! Great neighborhood bar when you need a cold beer and friendly bartenders.

Michaela, is the absolute greatest! We go here very often and when she is our bartender we have the greatest time.
When the band is playing, the music is so loud I can't even hear my wife sitting right next to me. We literally have to shout at each other. When the band starts, we leave shortly after.

Food: the burger, BLT and club sandwich is great. Fries,fried jalapeƱos and salsa is horrible. The fried onion rings are a hit or miss.

Great specials and a fun place to see a live band or ball game. They have an oversized projector for sports watching with multiple smaller tvā€™s throughout. Food is good. Shuffle board, pool, and darts for hanging out. The staff is fun and arenā€™t pushy. Iā€™ll be back again.
