I worked here as a bartender for the first time, and each shift was a fantastic experience! If you're looking to enhance your resume, this job is perfect for anyone who wants to step out of their comfort zone and build their confidence.
I had my first legal drink here in 1971, and it was a pleasure to return and share some memories with the bartender and younger patrons. In fact, a kind customer even covered my bill—perhaps in exchange for some stories! Thank you for a wonderful experience.
This is a fantastic local bar with a great selection of drinks. It's usually bustling with a lively crowd that often frequents the place. The location is perfect for a late Sunday evening drink, especially since some other bars tend to close earlier on Sundays.
Not as loud as sidelines. Dedicated pool area that smells the bathrooms. Has a sweetly dried beer stink every day, probably could wash pressure
