I had a great experience for my first visit! I highly recommend this place if you're looking to grab a bite, enjoy some beers, and listen to live entertainment.

Excellent bartenders, an all around good sports bar with live music certain nights of the week.

It is an ok place but wouldn’t recommend as a go to place.They definitely cater to the regulars first so you are last in line to be served. The food was not bad but expensive. The wings cost $19 for 10 wings. Ouch! I tried to make friendly conversation with one of the female bartenders, she just made a face and walked away. They do have live music but it is so loud that you can’t even talk or hear the person next to you.You can try it but nothing impressive.

However, after last night, we won't be returning. The bar staff was extremely rude. I stood in the 'Customer Service' area for over eight minutes, with staff on either side of me, as both bartenders attended to others at the bar. When I finally spoke up, one of them dismissed me, saying she was waiting for someone else. If either of them had looked my way and acknowledged me, it would have made a difference. Instead, it felt like I was wearing a sign that said "Ignore me, please." They both walked right past me, tending to others before acknowledging my presence. It seems if you're not someone they know, you're simply not worth their time.
