Was forced into a confrontation with a local at the bar. After the confrontation, the bar banned me for defending myself and the people I was with. They allowed the instigating from locals from the bar that forced a fight and allowed the instigators to be allowed back into the bar to cause future problems that actually occurred after the fact. The bar protected their actions by justifying there locals actions only to allow them to come back and attack another innocent local.

Terrible service, rude staff, unsanitaryEDIT: The arrogance in the owners/managers response to all of the negative reviews is hilarious. I guess that should be expected from a bottom of the barrel dive bar though.

It's fun, kind of a throwback. I've been in for beers periodically for a long time. There are pool tables and shuffleboard and darts and a million TVs and music that is, thankfully, old. Mostly, there's conversation if you want it. (I've never had a bite of food.) Service has always been outstanding.

My friend told me about this spot and stated that they had some really great food..,.so I called in an order for some BLT's... they were so fresh and delicious, and they do not skimp on the bacon.I personally do not do well with cigarette smoke therefore inside was a bit smoky for me, but I just tried to isolate myself from the smoke while I waited my order. The gentleman at the bar who helped me with the order was nice and it didn't take long for my food to come out. I'd give it five stars but I just can't take secondhand smoke.

Thinking of Batman today -what a special guy - Happy Birthday Batboy! Best thing that ever happened to me. As time goes by and we all get older, they say to say everything you've ever wanted to say to someone before we leave this earth. So many great times, you were my best friend. No other way to get a message to you so I thought this would be best. I hope you're happy and healthy and have many great years to come. Much Love forever, Buddy Guy

Enjoy going up there and have a couple beers. The sandwiches are good especially the Philly cheese steak! Atmosphere is very downhome. Almost remind you of the bar "Cheers"on TV. Also the bartender Brett is very sociable to everyone, whether you're new or old customer!

The service was good BUT the cranberry was sour/rotten. I ordered a simple Vodka Cranberry. Sour. Asked for manager but *wasn't available* Limited selection of beer as secondary selection. Wouldn't recommend.

This is a great place to go if you want to choke to death on cigarette smoke. The staff was friendly and the wings were good. But they 75 people smoking indoors was absolutely disgusting. I will not return. Do not take anyone here who has trouble breathing for any reason.

For a local bar that has been there since I moved to Brandon 1995. Its like family all in one place, the servers are amazing Sherry remembers your favorites Brandy and Bruce the owners are happy people as well. The wings are awesome as the BLT OR TUNA MELT OH CANNOT FORGET THE TATOR TORS OR POTATOE SALAD
