Stopped in for a pre dinner drink on a Tuesday night. Super friendly bar tender. Great vibe and strong drinks.

My friends and I had a really disturbing experience her this past weekend There was a man sitting in the back room area with his hands down his pants while staring at us and other women. It was blatant, creepy, and extremely uncomfortable. We told a staff member but he was not removed. We obviously left. Why did you not remove the guy?? I have videos!

Nice late night dive with decent local acts crooning with discernible effort despite minimal turn out on a weekday evening.

Overpriced local beers served by a somewhat expectedly salty tender.

This bar doesn’t accept cards, and instead relies on the customer to use their ATM to withdraw cash at a steep fee of $3.50. Quite clever accounting gymnastics, making an extra fee off a customer while simultaneously avoiding any record of these transactions.

Bathroom smelled of urine and ammonia, and was deeply neglected.

Beer selection was more than ample, giving the venue a nod toward the positive despite the obvious shortcomings described.

As others have mentioned, perfect little dive bar, always enjoy stopping by for a couple of beers when I’m in town. If you enjoy a good dive bar then don’t hesitate to stop in.

Bartenders great usually my absolute favorite bar but left because the dj was rude and a tipped song request that was better than most of what he was playing was denied and he just said he didn’t like it so he wouldn’t do it

The best dive ever! The music was amazing (punk and the like) and the atmosphere is perfect if you love a great dive bar!

Simple: play the same tone and energy of the room. Your DJ cannot jump around so erratically, it’s bad.

Beautiful space though

Cool, small downstairs bar. They had a really good DJ, shout out to DJ Litespeed, playing all the bangers from rock to hip hop! Earl the bartender will take advantage of you if he sees your intoxicated . So keep close eyes on your tab. If your paying cash on a busy night he will keep it, and forget about your drink.

Gotta love a dingy, old fashioned metal head bar. Is it just me, or do the odds of a spot being great go up drastically when you gotta go down a flight of stairs first? Bartender was really cool and laid back. A woman asked him about the unattended turntables and he enthusiastically invited her to spin some stuff. Dartboard in the corner, which is always a plus. Movie playing on a TV in the opposite corner, and art all over the walls. Nothing to not like. Cash only though, so y’know, bring some money.
