Extremely let down constantly by this place. Older blonde woman with glasses consistently gives poor service. She’s also apparently a partial owner. Multiple bars within the building, opened a tab downstairs and went to play pool upstairs. Apparently the downstairs bar closes sooner, and my tab was opened downstairs with the before mentioned woman. She locked my debit card in their safe without any effort to find me. I did not leave the grounds of the establishment throughout the night. Upon trying to close my tab immediately after the bouncer announced last call, the door downstairs was locked and the bartender was sitting in the upstairs bar and refused to return my property with a comment about “not knowing where I was”. Zero effort. Bartending staff made jokes at me the whole time I was respectfully trying to get my property. Extremely poor taste left in my mouth especially after cash tipping generously to staff. HAD TO PHONE POLICE in an attempt to recover my debit card. Gotta reschedule my whole day tomorrow because I have to return to this place upon their opening after being blatantly disrespected because it was too much effort to check amongst the 10 people attending the bar upon their closing of a portion of their establishment.TLDR: staff here withheld my debit card after zero attempt to locate me upon shutting down obscure part of their establishment. Disgusting service with unwarranted negative attitude with zero regard for their patrons.

The bartender was rude a f**** Yes I get it.. we decided to go have a last min beer at 0000-0100 we went in nice and I asked what time they do last call (thinking it was normal like everywhere 0130) no. She scoffs and says "we are done now" at 1 am and said "next time say that" when I asked for her to just make double of what we ordered since I figured it was early and they weren't done yet. The place looked chill and had a nice patio it looked like a nice decent place but I can see that it's semi clicky and they have the regular crowd that shows up on a sat night. That bartender did not care for new people showing up she seemed like she was fed up with her life and her job and projected that s*** on patrons. Shame. Will NOT go back to this place it was a 1 and done vibe. Girl you're like 75yrs old. If you don't wanna be behind the bar then don't bartend? Last call is 1:30 am not 12:50-1am on a Saturday. Bye.1/10 stars Thanks for reading my Ted talk. Don't go here.

Local bar, cheap drinks, no trouble that I've seen.

Outdoor patio to watch the orioles. Cheap beer and that little pizza wasn’t too bad. A ferndale staple!

Good spot for cheap drinks and watching sports. There's an upstairs and downstairs. Food selection is limited to light bar snacks, such as pizzas, fries, mozzarella sticks and tenders. You are allowed to bring outdoor food or have food delivered while you're enjoying a drink. Lots of locals. Seating is limited but there is outdoor seating available. There's also a billiards room and a juke box for your musical entertainment. It does get crowded in the evenings and unless you're seated directly at the bar, expect to wait a bit before a bartender takes your order as there usually is one person behind the bar. The hightops are self seating but you would need to walk to the bar to get a drink, unless it's not busy, then the bartender would come to your table. It's a good spot to go to on a budget, that is for sure.

The bouncers feel they can bully certain people and wont leave patrons alone to enjoy themselves at this establishment. Will go as far as to assault you if they feel that it they are able to do so... DO NOT GO HERE... ghetto and disturning ownership

Great bar. 2 bars upstairs and entirely different bar downstairs. Live music, karaoke, pool tournaments, corn hole. So much to do. The bartenders are awesome treat you like family and you can't beat the prices.
Pretty nice local dive bar. There were a lot of regulars in there, which is nice to see. The bar tender was a bit slow, but they also appeared understaffed.
Freda Gilmer
Bartender was not concerned about anyone other than her regulars. Bar atmosphere was nice, drinks good, music good.

The bartenders made sure everybody got their drinks and kept the place extremely clean. One of the quaintest bars I’ve ever been to. I’ll easily come back again, and that’s not just the drinks talking!

Great local bar. Basic pizzas and fried food. Cheap beer and free pool on Friday nights. One of our favorite spots!
