Great spot, great food, and the karaoke on Wednesdays is amazing! There's only 3 stars for the atmosphere, because there's nothing to write home about the atmosphere. It's nice, clean and sporty. It's a great spot!

A friend and I got the two pizzas deal with our beers, and it was a great way and place to catch up and talk. Lots of tvs on, but quiet. The pizza was good, thin crust.
