“Amazing place. Never been to a more welcoming group of people. Im pretty sure they serve me dinner every time I end up there with their snacks and food they put out randomly! Thanks guys. From your biggest white boy!“

“Nostalgic venue with great music but some drink prices are a bit extreme. I'm a big spender with a $100+ average bar tab, but $11 tequila shots with no other options is a bit excessive. It's just tequila guys, not fuckin' cocaine.“

“Amazing hospitality to us outsiders. Carol was a great bartender and the regulars were open to sharing stories. Wish we lived closer. From the one regular saying I hope you didn’t come up here trying to turn us blue(we are from NY) my response is we are from the real NY- upstate. Let’s turn all the states red! ♥️“

“UPDATE : got into contact with the owners and they completely rectified the situation I am pleasantly surprised and impressed with the owners ability to amend the impression my former review left on me

ORIGINAL REVIEW :Bartenders are great the service is the only reason I’m giving any stars the service was great but it’s a karaoke bar on Saturday so we come for karaoke but the DJ does t have a very big mic of songs came twice and doesn’t have the stuff we want to sing , if rock is your vibe only they’ll have your song for sure KJ’s group of friends came in and kinda hogged the queue KJ is kinda rude and came after us in facebook comments will likely never be back our first time bartender told us this is their normal KJ for karaoke and suggested we come back in 2 weeks we return and it’s the same guy so I ask on Facebook for suggestions and he ( the guy running karaoke at baseline) immediately comments how he has all the fun songs weird to be in my comments while you’re supposed to be working“

“Husband and I have been here twice now and we must say, THEIR WINGS ARE INCREDIBLE and then paired with their Girl’s Tyme Fries is just chefs kiss! We will absolutely be back again!“

“Nothing! The bar owners, especially Heather is extremely unprofessional and makes up stories and lies about patrons. Bar is far too loud to enjoy, very unsavory atmosphere of high school meets a gossip girls. Would NEVER recommend! Used to be forced to go now I'm thankful to have found more authentic, reliable places where the owners don't bother their patrons. Thanks but no thanks 😽 I expect a lovely, hateful response from...how did she put it 🤔, the "friendliest and kindest person"...I'd hate to see a bad day if that's true 🤣“

“Fantastic place! Great food. Friendly people. My favorites are the grilled chicken salad with homemade blue cheese dressing, cheesesteaks, fried egg cheeseburger and prime rib on Sundays. Recently featured @YourSALife and YourSALife.com“

“So i rarely leave reviews but this experience stayed on my mind and thought Id give my input. I stopped by beer n all a few days ago for fathers day because of an ad i saw on tiktok, the drink looked so good in the video. When i got there i was greeted by Denice, she was super friendly and attentive and the drink that she made looked so good i almost didn't want to drink it because id ruin the presentation but when i did….. so refreshing. If i could leave an extra star i would for the server who helped me!! Ask for Denice!!!
(I wish i took a picture but here’s the ad that brought me in)“

“I've been coming to MMD off and on for more years than I can remember! It's a great place to just kick back and be around some really great people I always have a good time when I go there! The owners are really friendly and helpful! I don't like their bar chairs though they are very uncomfortable really that's the only thing I don't like about this place, other than that it's perfect!! Oh and Hannah always puts a smile on my face!“

“Awesome dive bar. I felt right at home as soon as I walked in. Great drink specials, tons of shots, and friendly bartenders. “Samples” is one of the most friendly and professional bartenders I’ve ever met. They recognize their staff and regulars. Cheers!“

“We played a tournament and spent a good 9 hours here. This place exceeded our expectations. No it’s not fancy, yes there can be improvements but it was cozy for the day. Same for the fields, not fancy but playable. Plenty of seating, more than enough shade, food, and a very caring owner/manager. They provided water for the players, handed out ice pops to the little kids watching the games, even walking around periodically to ask if your okay. There are bleachers as well as tables and chairs/picnic tables. 2 fields. Yes you can bring wagons and your own chairs too. Recommend a fan during the hot months. Plenty of room to play around for kids that get restless. For food it ranges from what we saw about $4-$8, they offer hamburger, fries, nachos, Dino nuggets. We paid $6 for Dino nuggets and fries. In the morning they offered breakfast tacos- chorizo/egg and bacon/egg. The only downside to this place is the restrooms. In the women’s some doors did not have locks and the toilet paper rolls were sitting on the back of the toilet. The upside for parents that want to drink during the game, they let it happen!“

“Great place, people really truly express themselves in so many different ways that I didn’t know was possible.“

“Every time I come here the bartenders are always so nice“

“It's one of the few local dives with character... neighborhood bar to Valley Forge. Dalia is awesome. Cheers all.“

“Lots of great staff and fun place to drink!“
