I love the craft beers. The crowd is always friendly. The Taco truck near the entrance is nice. Lots of flat screens for sports fans. I may go there right now. Thank you uber. They pour a nice beverage in my opinion.
Had a very nice Friday night. Sadly, the the bartender who's usually there on Fridays, Paige, wasn't there. But the bartender who was there was also super sweet and friendly and made awesome drinks! It was a nice quiet slow night with friendly people coming in and out. I enjoyed myself greatly.
My girlfriend and I showed up at 7:00 AM to watch the World Cup final. Monica the bartender was fast, professional, friendly, and amazingly cheerful for that early in the morning. I'll be back to watch cycling races in the spring.
Been here way before COVID..nice hole in the wall..has 1 pool table
Now just understand that what I am doing is trying to make you understand how awesome this place (SLAM!) is but convey how annoying it is (SLAM!) to have people keep playing “Liar’s Dice” right (SLAM!) next to you when you are trying (SLAM!) to talk to people (SLAM!) and listen to the karaoke of some really (SLAM!) talented people who are truly skilled (SLAM!) and again, very (SLAM!) talented. (SLAM!) So the staff and crew are (SLAM!) very kind and nice and funny and smart and (SLAM!) and even though there are like 50 people in there (SLAM!) trying to relax and enjoy themselves and have a drink (SLAM!) there are 5 or so people in there (SLAM!) playing “Liar’s Dice,” (SLAM!) and will not stop slamming the (SLAM!) GD cup down on (SLAM!) the table over and over and over and over and over (SLAM!) again. And you are trying to listen to the karaoke (SLAM!) and they just won’t stop with the effing cup (SLAM!) and then you finally get fed up and (SLAM!) scream at them to shut up (SLAM!) and ask the staff why they don’t just ask (SLAM!) those 5 people to stop doing that because the other (SLAM!) 45 people in the bar are annoyed with the cup (SLAM!) being repeatedly slammed into the MF table over (SLAM!) and over and over and over and then (SLAM!) the staff doesn’t even understand why they tolerate that h!t (SLAM!) either and then you are exasperated with the (SLAM!) constant slamming of the dice and so you leave and say, (SLAM!) “Yeah, I’ll probably never be back because (SLAM!) even though I had a nice time, I cannot stand (SLAM!) someone slamming a effing (SLAM!) cup down every 3-5 seconds over and over and over and over and over (SLAM!) again So that’s my review. (SLAM!) (SLAM!) (SLAM!) Ok bye bye now (SLAM!)
Found this swell place on Google, just looking for a place to watch the NBA before heading to another event. We were in for a real treat. We made friends with a regular and I had my very first NBA fantasy victory. This bar is awesome, everyone knows each other and it’s a great environment.
I love this place! The regulars are so fun & welcoming! My favorite bartenders are Judy & Trina! The owner, there all the time making sure the female bartenders are safe! . This is a beautiful place to have a drink and relax play pool ,watch sports... I forgot the patio is soooo beautiful I love hanging out there!!!
Friendly staff. Judy is great and fun to talk to. I enjoy my visits every time I go. And great selection of beers. A big bonus is there is a place to drink and socialize outside. Drink up! …
