The atmosphere was lovely, and I enjoyed the drinks. The lounge area with the couches was fantastic. The games also looked fun. The bartenders were friendly. I would definitely return.
I always have a fantastic time here, especially with the great music! Tammy is the best bartender; she's incredibly friendly and provides excellent customer service. She remembers my drink every time I visit the bar.
Fantastic venue! I don't fit the typical stereotype, but I felt completely at ease here. The bartender, owner, and doorman were all incredibly respectful. I'm definitely coming back!
Visually looks like a bar that the owner had no idea what to do, so that she would work any idea that could be imagined. There are two pool tables when you first go into that cannot be used because the long lines at the bar rear right beside it. There is a small dart room that cannot be used because the room is too small. They are video screens on the ceiling everywhere, Vegas style lights and signs and karaoke and jukebox and club music. Is it a lounge? A pool hall? A video bar? A dance club? Only so much stuff in a small room, so that everyone walks together. Bartender seems nice, but are so slow with drinks. Advice would be “less is more” and focus on making drinks faster.
There is something I absolutely love about this Awesome neighborhood bar. They have plenty of seating options, a very large bar top, several tables, a long narrow outdoor patio, and even a cozy lounge area. Drinks are strong and cheap, service is always good, throw in a couple pool tables and some friendly down to earth patrons and you have a winning combination.
