Local dive bar vibe that I always have a good time at. Servers are friendly and they get the drinks out fast. Bar tables, dim lighting, music, darts, and decent sticks. Check them out when in the area. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Great place! Liz (owner) is funny, sexy and an amazing bartender! Never a dull moment here (in a good way) and you are always treated like family. Highly recommend whether you are stopping in for a quick drink or spending the evening with friends! 🍻

Great little bar! Party atmosphere any night of the week but all are welcome here: play pool, watch some football, dance around or just have a quiet chat. Friendly bar staff and good prices.
