Went there with my girlfriend, Tracy, who is 56 years old nurse and has worked as a bartender through throughout her life.
I mention this because there was many things that were obvious in regards to being a respectful bartender. We went here two days in a row. The first night we were with some friends and we overlooked the bartender Maddie being extremely rude. She puts on this aggressive, almost figh flight type of attitude. I’m sure that regulars don’t mind because some of them seemed to have the same type of over aggressive behavior. The eggrolls were good. I give the atmosphere a lower rating because of Maddie, the bartender. Because we were planning on meeting friends, we went back to the same bar. Mind you, my girlfriend, Tracy, the 56-year-old nurse who bartended for years in her 20s and 30s (Who by the way treated Maddie with so much kindness and sweetness and respect as she does to everybody!). Looked past all of that and tipped her very, very well to say the least. This next day that we are here at the bar, not only was she even worse with the rudeness , but on our second drink, which turned out to be our last drink, she noticed that Tracy’s drink was gone several times and did not ask her if she needed a refill. Tracy doesn’t care if she just really wants people to be kind to her. She has actually never complained about this with anyone in our lives in the two years I’ve known her. By the way, this is not the first bar we’ve been in. Never mind average every day life. We left after one drink and will not be coming back. Sending you guys a big hug! Ya cheer up! Have a better day and treat your customers better! More of a treat people better concept. Much love, Aaron & Tracy

Great place for delicious food and adult beverages!
First time visit this past Saturday. Great time joining in karaoke.
UPDATE: Love the wingettes shared during Jeanette's Birthday Month shenanigans 😍

I came here and ordered the fried pickles and a chicken Caesar salad. The fried pickles were actually pretty good, but that’s about the only positive thing I can say. When my salad came out, I asked the waitress if I could get extra dressing. Instead of just helping, she gave me attitude and told me the dressing was already on the salad and that there was more on the side. I let it go and just started eating.
The salad itself was disappointing — it was just a pile of meat dumped on top. As I got toward the bottom, I noticed the lettuce was brown and wilted. I brought this to the waitress’s attention, and she literally yelled at me, saying, “Everything here is fresh, the manager cut it himself this morning!” At that point, I just asked for the check because I had only eaten maybe 10% of the salad and had lost my appetite.
To top it off, they didn’t even take the salad off the check. The whole experience was unprofessional and rude. Definitely won’t be coming back.
Best place to be esp for wings. Everyone is like family to everyone! Wednesday karaoke nights are super fun. Something for everybody! They have trivia, paint night and other events! The whole place is a vibe.. been coming here for years! The staff is A1! Nothing but good things to say about the establishment.
Seemed like a decent enough place, wasn't my cup of tea
Great food and prices. Love going for the wings especially on Wednesdays. Glad i found this place. Definitely recommend going If you like great good and drinks!
The atmosphere is one of a kind. You get a mix all types of ppl and culture. The food is great and each day of the week they have a different daily specials for food. They do kareoke on Wednesdays and Saturdays and the DJ Ross is the best, he knows how to engage and have the vibe up to beat at all times. And if you are a sports fan and enjoy watching them they will show it and they will accommodate you if there is a specific sports you want to watch. Overall I enjoy my time and would recommend to everyone!

If I could give Christine and the Chef 1 Gazillion ********* I would. They were all friendly and told my husband and I all about the menu and specials. Clean and lovely vibes is what I can say about my new favorite sports bar in my new neighborhood!!!!!
Nice cozy spot.
Food was excellent, service was personable, but it took a while to get wings that the place is known for. A repeat for me for aure.

I devoured those funnel cake fries like they were going out of style. Blue, my server, was ridiculously down-to-earth and cool - we vibed like old pals. Then, Russ, the DJ extraordinaire, brought the house down with his pipes and got me stoked for karaoke. First-time experience? Totally worth it, and I'm already plotting my return.
