Don't be afraid to give this place a try. While it may seem a bit questionable from the outside, you'll find a warm and inviting atmosphere once you're inside. The cleanliness of the establishment is outstanding. The bartender during lunch was excellent and attentive to our needs. It's a nice bar with plenty of TVs and some truly delicious food. The hot dogs are fantastic, and their hamburgers are great too!

My wife and I were driving around taking care of a few errands and we decide to stop in for a few drinks. We are glad that we did! The bartender was extremely friendly and the place has a friendly vibe! Just beer and wine which is fine with me. They also had 1 dollar hot dogs the day we stopped which is a win as well!

I really don't have enough nice things to say about this place! This cash-only bar is clean and well-maintained. There is a pool table and one or two electronic games inside the establishment and at least a dozen huge flat screen TVs to watch your teams play. They have a loaded jukebox and on Fridays they host karaoke. Out back is a patio where you can watch the game and play corn hole. They serve beer by the bottle and can $2.50) and wine $5 a glass) only, no liquor. This gives the place a kind of throw back feel. It's relaxed and none of the patrons get out of hand on Jager shots. I can't review the food because I don't eat burgers and hot dogs beef and pork), but everyone who was eating seemed to really enjoy it. Apparently the chili recipe is literally a family secret that has been passed down through the generations. We recently threw a surprise 70th birthday party for my father, an O'Neil's regular, at the bar. The management was super accommodating and everything went off without a hitch! They let us bring our own food, gave us a discount on our open bar and made every effort to make the party a success. I wouldn't recommend this place to someone looking for a fancy night out, but if you like cinder-block saloons where the bartender will learn your name, this is the place for you!

If there was ever a name for a dive bar, this could fit the bit, but not really in a bad way. Just a small hang out for the locals...we stopped by for a quickie before heading home. Tons of parking in front and around the side, this place serves only beers, wine and soft drinks. There are pool tables, darts and a shuffle table too to keep you entertained. Food choices are limited so we didn't order anything to eat, but just a few beers. Prices were extremely reasonable; $2.50 for a domestic. Service was super friendly too...something about this southern hospitality that you hear so much about....this place was a great example.

Fantastic bar with excellent service! Although they only offer beer and wine, the friendly staff truly enhances the experience. There's a pool table and shuffleboard, plus an outdoor patio that has a beach-like vibe. It’s a welcoming place where both customers and staff create a homey atmosphere. They only accept cash, but it’s definitely worth it!
