I travel extensively for work, so, when you run across a “neighborhood bar” like this place, the stress and strife of the week fades away when you walk through the door. John, my bartender, is the perfect gentleman, and made this out-of-towner feel immediately at...Read More

This is something that people hate to hear. If you feel angry or violent, I suggest you get counseling.This is not safe for black people with substance abuse. Stigma and ignorance is bliss here.
