One of the bouncers uses offensive language and another is eager to pick fights with larger individuals. If you are looking for a place to start a physical altercation, this bar is perfect for you.

We chose this restaurant for its historical atmosphere and convenient location. The restaurant gives off a local tavern vibe, with a bar on one side and a seating area with games and TV's on the other side. Unfortunately, we found the food to be lacking in quality. Almost everything on the menu was either baked in a pizza oven or fried. Despite our request for a salad, we were informed that they do not serve salads. We ended up ordering a pizza and chicken tenders. The square-shaped pizza was tasty but unimpressive, with a thick dough. It seems that many locals enjoy this place, but if we find ourselves in the area again, we will likely choose a different restaurant.

As a non-white person, I didn't feel completely comfortable here, but the locals usually stick to themselves. I've had better experiences at other local spots since moving here. The bartender and cashier were friendly, though. The Sicilian pizza here is mostly bread and not quite what I would consider pizza. Despite these drawbacks, the bar has a unique charm and is rumored to be haunted. The food is decent, you can play billiards while you wait, and the cocktails are tasty.
