It's a cool dive bar. You never know who you're going to be sitting next to. Lots of locals and visitors from everywhere. No food. Good well priced drinks, pot belly stove and 2 pool tables.

You have to love a place that keeps a box of Narcan behind the bar. Stiff drinks. Dancing. Pool tables

Nice hole in the wall bar with a nice pellet-fed fireplace right in the middle of the bar. Bartender was friendly & quick. Drinks were pretty good. Local crowd seemed a little obnoxious & loud at first, but that was just from the drinks. Turned out that they were very friendly! I'm sure the weekends are a lot of fun.

Fun saloon with great service by the lovely and lively Freda. We came by for a drink Friday and returned Saturday for live piano music and local fun. The cosmos were uber tasty! King Charles and Camilla approved 2005.

Beer was good and cold. Guy who served us wasn't very friendly but it didn't bother me. Well I guess it did a little or else I wouldn't have mentioned it in this review. Oh well

Guitars Cadillacs, hillbilly music... Love dive bars so if you want a fancy drinks and upscale decor this ain't your kind of place partner... This is a real bar, where real people drink. Music, dancing, probably fighting too on Saturday nights but I was there on a Sunday and they must have cleaned up all the blood before I got there lol. Leave your pretentions at the door, you put your pants on one leg at a time just like the rest of us drinkers do.
