If you're looking for a friendly neighborhood ragtag bar with decent burgers and deepfried appetizers, here's your place! Low prices, smoking permitted.

Stop in on your way home from work. Grab a beer, shoot a game of pool, and grab a bite to eat. Nothing fancy but really nice, welcoming, and comfortable. Great place to hang out.
