⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Josh Fosdick
Enjoy this place a lot. But mostly wanted to post while im sitting here as I can never remember that half price burgers are Tuesday and $1 tacos are Thursday. Also wings are Mondays. FYI for you and me. Great place. Come have a drink.

The great thing about walking into this place where we did not have high expectations. But that later changed once we walked in and realized how clean and organized it was a great music that was playing all the games pinball pool darts was great. Then the wings came....... Wow!!! So goooddd and Ms Jen made my cocktail perfectly. I'll definitely be coming back soon.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Doug W
Nice hometown hangout. Friendly staff that will actually hold a personal conversation with you and interact with you like a personal friend. Love the rec room type atmosphere. Good drinks, great food, and great service. Not a bad seat in the house if your here to watch a sporting event, tv's everywhere. This place also holds events and drives that help the community which is awesome too.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Kevin M. Pennington
Amazing deal—half off cheeseburgers—on Tuesdays! I’ve heard amazing things about their Taco Thursdays too. Great atmosphere, staff, lots of TV’s, pool tables, games, pinball. Really cool dive bar.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jack Nolan
I went last night on the recommendation of a co-worker. I was pleasantly surprised. I'd seen other reviews that didn't experience what I did. This is a sports bar. There are TVs everywhere, and the Thursday night football game was on. One of the reasons I was there. It was also Taco night. $1 Tacos. I thought the shells could have been a little crispier but for $1, whatever! I had 10. And a few beers. The bartenders were very friendly, they have a great selection of beer ( my drink) as well as spirits. The crowd at 6pm was older, and appeared to be Blue Collar. Younger folks came in later. The tables in front of the bar are big so you may end up sharing one with someone you don't know. But the gents who I was sitting with were football fans and nice guys. We talked and laughed about a lot of different things. Over all, a great experience. Yes they take cards (I read cash only somewhere, not true). If you like sports and you like good bar food, you will like this place.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Kris H
They have specials everyday. I'm a sucker for a deal so we ordered(takeout) what was on special-the bacon cheeseburger with fries(tots, potato salad and slaw available also), grande nachos and Buffalo wings. We havent had bar food in quite some time so it really tasted great. They are really nice people that own and work there(they provided free lunches to kids last year) so we want to keep supporting them, please do the same!
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — BW A
Taco Thursday’s are awesome. Blown away by the service and care during the chaos of COVID. Drinks were great and tacos were delish. Really enjoyed our time here and looking forward to coming again. Thank you Jen and team :) Ps. They changed their beer battered fries to regular fries and we are heartbroken 😥
