My favorite bar in Waco! On a hunt for a punk dive bar, this was the closest I found. Dim lighting, pool tables, karaoke, strong drinks (multiple bars), and a sweet back patio! The staff were ultra friendly & welcoming as well. I'll definitely be...Read More

My family loves this place. We get there early, karaoke to our heart’s content, have a few drinks, then leave before the college crowd. Regular place for us.

Cool dive bar. Fast bar service. Amazing frozen margaritas! Love that it's not the bro vibe of most other downtown Waco spots. Truly a gem.

I came here after leaving a nearby place and it was practically empty. That very well could’ve been because there was an additional room that I was unaware of. Regardless, the music was good. I had an Old Fashioned and she made it spot on....Read More
