Out of business as of November 2024.
Can't speak of the food since we were here for the music! Great disco band and a fun crowd!

It's a bar. We stopped in on our way to a Friday night football game. Chicken tenders and fries were delish.

Horrible food is an understatement. Music and beer are good but DO NOT EAT HERE. Ordered nachos and they brought me this fancy bucket full of chips and when they opened to bottom to let the chips fall onto the plate below, it had old and spoiled toppings and the cheese was grayish colored. Guess it was sitting around for a while. They offered to bring me another order… like yea let me cheat death twice. No thank you.

Food was disappointing. Service was excellent and tentative. Full bar scene when no band present.

Do NOT recommend. We used to love it here. The past few times there’s been 1 waitress handling all the tables and the bar, with no help. The waitresses we’ve had were very obviously burnt out and I’m sure customers were being rude due to the poor service (at no fault of theirs). How much can 1 person do when they are handling EVERYTHING? Aside from that, the food is BAD. Our burgers were dry, our fries were overcooked, and the chicken tenders were like hard leather (photo for reference) - totally not edible. After informing the waitress of the issue with the chicken, they made another order for us to-go and it was the SAME, so we threw it out and left. It was basically freezer burnt and fried - GROSS. If ownership can’t get their staffing under control and kitchen in order, this place will continue to go downhill. After 3 bad experiences in a row, we won’t be back.

This place is good for entertainment, but they used to also have great food. Unfortunately, the last two or three times we’ve gone the food has been awful and barely edible. The menu used to be great, but now it’s just mostly fried food that tastes extremely freezer burnt. I’m pretty sure the fries were from the day before and they just fried them again and served them. I don’t know how it’s possible for food to be rock hard and soggy with grease at the same time, but they’ve accomplished it. I get that entertainment is your business model, but the place is empty anytime there’s no band. Fire your cooks and get your old one back who had a proper menu. Won’t be back.

Fantastic place, hilarious Trivia on Wednesdays, host is outrageously handsome, ladies night Karaoke on Thursdays and super budget friendly concerts in their huge amphitheater with really good live cover bands

Went to see an 80's cover band and they were great!!! Its outside seating and the servers are very nice and attentive to the tables. My only advice is for the servers to not open the cans until they are in front of the patrons. You can never be too careful these days with spiked drinks and human trafficking and all. Needless to say, always go in pairs at least. My PSA for the day.
The food was pretty good for bar food.
The inside bar area is spacious with plenty of seating.

Not a big fan of posting bad reviews but at times... you have to. My husband and I were there on Saturday, the place was packed because they had a great cover band we saw perform back in April and loved it. We got there "early" to get seats but no luck (naive of us). While the band was getting ready, we headed inside to get a drink and found a dirty open table and we decided to take it since there were not many options. Power went off but they seemed to be operating... The waitress approached the 2 tables to our left and asked if they needed anything and as she was about to pass by ours (ignoring us) after sitting there for almost 15 minutes, I called her attention and asked if we could get help. She apologized and said that they were short staffed (only 2 serves inside). Understandable I guess.. but there were two other girls near the door standing doing nothing (not servers maybe?).
So we decided to go outside instead and get our drinks, let our server know, approached the bar and had a short talk with the bartender over when electricity was going to be restored and she said around 10 minutes. We ordered 2 cocktails priced at $8 as per the sign, the bartender said we couypay cash or open a tab. As she was getting our drinks ready the power came back so my husband decided to pay with his credit card. He noticed that the charge before taxes was $18 but if you do the math it should have been $16. He hesitated to say something but I encouraged him to let her know. Turns out the bartender was rude about it and said "that's what the system shows, I can't void it, it's taxes" and walked away. My husband was trying to explain and she just walked away. It's not the money (but it also is if you think about all the other guests that pay without noticing it) it's the way she handled the situation. No need to be a jerk about it. I just stepped aside because it was an uncomfortable situation... Apparently the manager gave him the $2 dollars back.
I bet not many people notice it but I find it dishonest to show $8 to the public and charge $9. Just update your price chart. An apology and an explanation would have served the purpose, no need to be rude and disrespectful about it... Disappointing.
I'm sure they don't need our business so we're not planning to go back.
