Jazmine Chavez
6 years agoFor a monday night it was pretty slow, and after a quick game of pool me and a friend decided to leave. . I have had a few drinks and didn't notice what could've possibly turned into a dangerous situation.

3 years agoThis is my local bar, I've been coming here since 21 yrs of age. Although times have changed I will still support my local hangout. It is cash only now!! Which is not my favorite bartenders change left n right but this is pandemic times. I am a dedicated patron. I just wish they could go back to the olden days!!

4 years agoThe bartender Britney is amazing and always tries to give me something new to drink. I love the multiple bathrooms, and they have a professional sized pool table. Lots of space, but super cozy at the same time. A bar that is actually fun on a Monday? Right here baby.

6 years agoTwo Shuffleboards, three pool tables, darts, poker group, plenty to do. The environment was incredibly diverse filled with friendly people all very warm and welcoming. Was surprised at how busy it was for a Sunday afternoon...The staff was very customer attentive with sincere smiles and desire to accommodate every patron.

Michelle Panigiris
3 years agoJust a good local bar to go hang out with the girls. Lots of fun stuff. Pinball, Darts, Pool, and one of the smoothest shuffleboard tables in this town. Loved it. Great ownwership who makes all welcome for parties of all sorts.

Edited a year agoMy go to bar. Friendly staff and atmosphere here. The pool tables and other attractions could be cheaper. $2 for pool. They have a punching machine and shuffleboard. Sometime a live dj, and even a giant Jenga game and air hockey. Pretty fun. The drinks are pretty good too. I suggest the Well tequila sunrise with extra Cherries. Rings at just under $10.

Edited 6 months agoLove this bar!! All of the bartenders are great. They have security at night. I wish they had a better variety of snacks. They do have some nuts, beef jerky, chips and some candy I think. Popcorn would be great to add! I'm thankful they carry Peanutbutter Screwball because It's all I like to drink. In the past it would be so difficult for me to order something because I didn't know a backup drink. I'm so happy that Shannon a daytime bartender shared her recipe for a drink she calls "prozac" in the little book up by the register. Now if they are ever out of Screwball I can order me a prozac because they have a special book for special drink recipes. I feel like they aim to please. I wanna request mirrors in the restroom. Keep up the great work everyone. oh yeah they have a great jukebox and a few TVs to watch.

2 months agoEveryone is rad that works and hangs here! There’s a quiet dude always in the corner making sure everyone is safe and that bar patrons are secure and bartenders are so friendly with GREAT customer service! I met Bert the other night and she whipped up my favorite cockies! Love this place! Will be back.
