Had a blast there. Stopped by on a road trip. Made it in time for a punk show. Servers were very aware of everything going on and recognized me quickly enough for bringing out food and drinks. Sitting outside was very cozy with all the seating, lights, and the fire. The sound was excellent for the bands. Inside was well insulated for getting away from the noise. Pool table, clean bathrooms, quick service, cheap drinks. Good time.

Extremely kind staff. I have balance issues and instead of assuming I was over the limit, they asked me if i have medical issues and continued to serve me. Feels amazing to not get cut off just because of my general balance issues 3

Food is okay, service is great atmosphere is my kind if place lowkey, communal, a great place to gather with friends. Lots of out door space to hang and smoke. Parking can be a headache if it's really busy. But other than that it's not too bad.

Surprisingly decent little bar. The food is good and the staff are friendly. They have a hidden gem of a large back patio that's well taken care of. The patio boasts a stage, small fire pit, and partial coverage. It's a comfortable spot for enjoying drinks, lunch, and music in the summertime. The bar's patrons have some personality but are easy enough to get along with. This is probably my favorite "dive" bar.
