A fun place, several pool tables. Bet it would be great if they had a dance floor. Loved the bar style.
Doesn’t serve food that why no stars.

This place is must visit for all tourist coming through the area. The business is super clean and the staff is amazing. Prices are very reasonable too when compared to other clubs. During the week the atmosphere is very friendly and laid back. On the weekends they know how to host a party for all ages. With a live DJ, a huge dance floor, several pool tables, and arcade room…. this place is a must see…… #TeamCina supports this local business.

⭐☆☆☆☆ 1 out of 5 stars — Never Coming Back

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was too bad to stay silent. From the moment I walked into this place, the vibe was completely off. The lighting was harsh, the music was either blasting or nonexistent, and the overall atmosphere felt more like a rundown basement than a bar people actually choose to hang out in.

But let’s talk about the bartenders — easily the worst part of the night. They were slow, rude, and completely uninterested in doing their job. I stood at the bar for 15 minutes while they laughed and chatted among themselves, ignoring multiple people waiting. When I finally got served, it felt like I was inconveniencing them. No greeting, no smile, just a blank stare and an overpriced, watered-down cocktail shoved my way.

Speaking of drinks — absolute trash. I ordered a mojito that tasted like sparkling water with a hint of mint and sadness. My friend’s old fashioned tasted like it was made with the cheapest bottom-shelf liquor they could find. Zero balance, zero effort, just bad drinks that made us wish we’d stayed home with a six-pack.

If you’re looking for a fun night out with good drinks and decent service, go literally anywhere else. This place is a disaster.

Horrible, scary, and unsafe experience. Went with my friends for a drink on my birthday and everything was fine until the owner started cussing us out because we tried sitting in his seat at the bar unintentionally. We immediately tried leaving when he told us to get out, and he followed us outside. He smacked all of our drinks out of our hands, and hit the door on my friends leg. She was bleeding for a while. Have never had this experience before.

We came on a day it was super busy and a day it was super dead. The staff was so friendly and accommodating on the slow day it was so refreshing to be around truly nice people. The busy day was good too! They kicked some people out that were not behaving so it felt very safe.

With not many bars to hop around to, this one had alright vibes. I’d recommend paying with cash though. I spent $41 one night and somehow the next day they tipped themselves $49. Luckily I took pictures of my receipts and can easily dispute it with my bank.

The owner of this bar was very rude. My daughter and her friends were cussed at and assaulted for no reason and the local police did nothing. One friend had a large cut on their leg from the encounter. Would not recommend coming here.

Came for drinks, they were mostly watered down. My table was also sticky from the last customers who visited. Service was okay I guess they seemed annoyed by me ordering. I was misled by the good reviews maybe I just came at a bad time but take them with a grain of salt.

Last year I gave this bar 5 stars. Luckily for past me, I never met the owner on the multiple visits I made here. Here is a more accurate and updated review.

Owner (guy on the right in green shirt) told my friend and I to go elsewhere because he didn’t like the music that we paid for on the jukebox so we went elsewhere. We barely interacted with anyone but each other while we were there, but the owner wanted to let it be known that he doesn’t want to do business non-locals. Also there was an entire group of high school kids in the bar being served.
