Two of my friends had their wedding reception here many years ago and I thought it was a very quaint, tucked away little bar that really catered to its regulars. I’ve gone back a few times and every time I am greeted like I come there every single day. At first I thought that they just treated people that were regulars that way but then I found out no they make everyone feel welcome and appreciated. Plus it’s just a really cool little spot it looks neat inside like something from a TV sitcom. It’s hard to explain you’ll just have to check it out yourself.Parking: I’ve seen it with plenty of parking and I’ve seen it where I’ve had to go park on the street. If you get there earlier you have a better chance of getting good parking but there’s not ample parking here. Or at least there wasn’t the last time I was there it might’ve changed since then it’s been several months

Definitely a good quality late night karaoke bar. There are definitely plenty of locals that will be grabbing the mic and singing so get your requests in early.Surprisingly, this is a smoky joint too. Which kind of sucks for singing.They had a good selection of drinks and we didn't get anything to eat.

So relaxing. We went on a Sunday night so it was pretty quiet, not a lot of people. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable about drinks, he even lit the patio fire pit for us. . We are definitely going

5 star for an amazing dive bar ... yes, they have touch tunes. Tonight (Monday around 8:00-ish was out of ordinary in terms of the kind of music playing: hard hard rock Korn limp bizkit tool etc - I enjoyed it. There were about 10 folks seated around the bar (not bad for a Monday). The venue has darts and pool and a horseshoe bar that seats about 18-ish. They have karoke some nights and most Saturday evenings, it is pretty packed. They do MEASURE their pours, in the for what it is worth column. When I go during the days on weekends, pretty slow, only about 4 or 5 seated. Oh, and they do have food - bar food. Anyway. Dive bar away, you'll like this place if you like dive bars.

My wife and I have been coming here for a long time. Lately, we've been coming for the trivia on Wednesday nights. The bartenders are all friendly, especially Brittany and Cali. It's everything a dive bar should be.

It's a dive bar. But a great one. Fun kareoke, nice bartenders, cheap drinks.Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly. This should be obvious, since it's a bar.
Cali was freaking AMAZING!!! Such an awesome spirit to serve the spirits!

Chill local dive, recommend mon, thurs, and sat night. Many beers on tap and bottle for the beer snuffs. Ask for my bro Cali.

The bartenders here are extremely rude and unprofessional. They have harassed multiple of my friends, screaming in their face and stiffing their drinks. This has happened on multiple occasions, they then had the audacity to call my friends out for not "tipping as much as they used to." They've even gone as far as completely refusing service because they weren't getting tipped as much. DO NOT GO HERE
ive been going to jive regularly for several years now & im not sure how things ended up so bad. some time last year i went in with my friend & we ended up going to another bar down the street & running into a lot of the staff & regulars from jive. i got pretty messed up that night which is my god given right & thought nothing of it. a month or 2 later i go back to jive & the bartender Cali who i have gotten cool with over the years asks me if i plan on getting as messed up as last time which i was clearly confused about because again, didnt think too much of it. he then pulls me in close for what im assuming is a hug & proceeds to scream in my ear telling me to shut the fuck up about a problem he completely blew out of the water. i was taken aback & immediately started apologizing to him saying i would never mean to jeopardize him & i thought that was that. he proceeds to stiff my drinks for literal MONTHS & bri gs up my drunken mistake every single time i go back which again, i was a frequent flyer. by constantly making me uncomfortable over a mistake so small that happened MONTHS ago when im just there to have a good time with my friends, i resort to avoiding him & rely on the other bartenders, who happen to be very kind. that all happened over a year ago & more recently in december i brought a group of coworkers in to have a girls night. cali stiffed not only my drink but also my coworkers, so we sent the drinks back & got served by helena. i was just frustrated at the fact that after all this time cali is still acting some kind of way & literally charging me for alcohol when my glass has none in it. at the end of the night Helena, who was always so nice to me & my friend, pull me to the side & ask why im not tipping as much anymore. she explained she was just confused because shes fond of me & wanted to know what was wrong. i understood her confusion since none of this was her fault & told her how cali had screamed in my face & had something against me for such a long time over a situation he blew out of proportion. she understood & offered to mediate a conversation between us which in the drunken moment seemed amazing. they proceed to pull me, a 22 year old girl, into the WALK IN FREEZER where there is NO CAMERAS & NO ONE AROUND. helena made it seem as if she would have my back in this conversation & have cali apologize to me when what it really was was me explaining to cali my perspective & cali, again, blowing this YEAR OLD situation out of proportion saying since i was sooo drunk i somehow "ruined his entire night" (get over yourself i was barely around you that night). & i somehow ended up apologizing to cali AGAIN, receiving no apology, & helena chewing me out some more about "not tipping enough". i explain to them that i always tip well & tonight was just because he stiffed my friend aswell. they werent having it & basically gave me a lesson on tipping as if theyre giving me stellar service & not stiffing me for months. me being drunk i stupidly fixed my tab from $5 tip to a whole $20 tip. i left that night thinking everything was cool but when i woke up in the morning i realized how inappropriate & unprofessional it is to 1) pull a patron aside & tell them they arent tipping enough 2) scream in my face while ur hands are on me 3) stiff my drinks that im paying for for almost an entire year 4) pull a young girl into a walk in freezer with no cameras & no one around to yell at her 5) essentially force me to tip more honestly cali is the most emotional man i have ever encountered & needs to figure out how to regulate himself because his outbursts & attitude are out of line. as a grown man why are u blowing situations out of proportion & holding it against me for a year. hes old & bitter & weird. As for Helena im just disappointed about how she let that night play out for me. AS FOR JAMES & CEDRICK : these guys are so sweet & seeing them alway

I went here a couple nights ago on a whim. I really wanted to listen to some live music and this was the closest bar to me with live music on Fridays. It did not disappoint! I got there around 10 and the band was taking a break but they were still playing for hours to come. I think they were playing up until close. I ended up leaving at 1am so I'm not certain on that. It's a very fun place for a date, but I wouldn't go there as a first date because you can't really talk on the music nights. The speakers are very loud but the music was great. They were playing all kinds of hits throughout the decades. And I loved the multiple guitar solos. I will definitely be back! They have pool, ping-pong, shuffleboard, which is different, and I think darts. My only con is that they allow smoking inside. Normally that would turn me off to the place altogether but they do ventilate the bar well so it didn't irritate me as much
