If you haven’t checked out this dive bar since it reopened this Spring, you’re seriously missing out! Nestled in this charming small town, the vibes here are off the charts—like if good energy had a party and everyone was invited!

First, let’s talk about the staff. They’re the best! Always ready with a smile and the perfect drink recommendation (even if I can’t remember what I ordered last time). And the live bands/DJ? They bring in a couple a month, and it’s always a blast! It’s like a mini music festival every time, and you can’t help but dance like nobody’s watching (even if they definitely are).

Karaoke night? Yes, please! Whether you’re belting out power ballads or attempting your best rendition of "Bohemian Rhapsody," you’re guaranteed a good time and a few new fans (or critics).

Oh, and don’t forget about Sex Toy Bingo on the second Wednesday of every month. It’s as hilarious as it sounds, adding a whole new twist to “bingo night.”

Just a heads up: this place is cash only, but there’s an ATM on-site, so no worries if you forget your cash!

In a small town that feels like a big hug, this dive bar is the most welcoming spot around. If you’re looking for a place where laughter, music, and unforgettable moments collide, this is your new go-to. Just bring your sense of humor and maybe some earplugs for karaoke night! 🍻🎤✨“
