I go to bingo every Wednesday I have a ball. The people are friendly. The owner is wonderful. I’ve never had a bad time there. I feel like I’m at home.

A dive bar in the truest sense. If you want a dive bar, 5/5. If not, look elsewhere. But you should want a dive bar and you should go.

Small spot, nice and easy. I came in ordered a sloppy Joe with some pasta salad. It was extremely cheap, even caught a beer with it. When you do it right its simple.

What seems to be a Dive Bar has good food, good bartenders, live music most weekends and an open mic Sunday evening that features some of Utah best musicians and songwriters. Lots of fun

Stumbled across this place waiting for a concert at the Maverik Center. Couldn't have asked for a better bartender. Made us feel like we were locals right away.

We got there just as they were closing up. The food was decent, but the lady working the register was the real star of the show. I wish I could remember her name! She was so nice!

Their pizza is their most popular item. They have local bands play, and the bar is just relaxed and comfortable. The regulars were friendly but not overheating and the staff was great. A great bar to just sit in and enjoy some experiences with the...Read More
