Stopped here on a little suburban bar crawl, it hit the spot for a cute lil dive. Definitely a regulars place but we were welcomed with a smile. Lisa is a real gem! Seems like they have bar snacks you can order. Great conversation and drinks. :) We will definitely be back!

DJ was great, bartender Lisa had attitude entire time and refused to put me and my friends a shot because she didn't feel like putting sugar on it. Pure laziness. I'm a server and a bartender myself. I was not

Great local dive bar. They have a small grill for bar food, cheap drinks and karaoke.

Eric Strebel

A classic dive bar. Burgers, fries, music. They don't build them like this anymore.

If it wasn't for your bartender Teresa that place would be a dive she's a gem keep her

Nice people working there, but really the bar is old and could use a make over.

This was our very first visit. We had to check it out for two reasons. First, my wife is known as starting gaw (Haha) and secondly, because we've been meaning to try out some good BBQ! We loved the place, the decor; loved how the bathrooms, bar and function room had its own bear-themed names, loved that there was plenty of "safe zone" seating with plexi glass and last but not least... THE FOOD!! I had the 1 meat combo with pulled pork, mashed sweet potato, and green beans and Big Bear had the 1/2 rack with mac n cheese, fries and cornbread. We were in BBQ heaven.?The ONLY thing that can be improved is the wait time in line to pay. Had there been 2 cashiers when we arrived, then it would have made a big difference. ? Otherwise 5 stars from us! Can't wait to go back with our daughter!?
