A quiet little bar with a patio for enjoying the summer weather! There’s many options for games with foosball, pool, darts, and beanbags. Service is great as it’s never too busy.

Cool small dive on the business loop. It's one of the best options which isn't downtown.

This bar was a great find! I have been here a couple times and love the atmosphere and the bartenders are always a great time. A great place to take friends if you don't want the crazy packed and loud downtown scene.

Greatest bar around! Really great bartenders! They all are super nice and pay attention! Always clean. Always a great crowd of people! Great atmosphere! I have been going for 25 years and it’s just like “Cheers”

Wasn't bad, but as first times there from our if town, we had no idea what the do. We sat ourselves at a table and waited awhile, them after no one came up to our table or made eye-contact with us, I we up to the bar; she was nice, but the place seemed like it was only for regulars and if you didn't know the place you weren't "in".

Good old fashioned bar. Not nearly as busy as it should be.

I asked for the cheapest vodka, got charged $8.50 for a double vodka/water drink while all my friends were charged $3.50. After one drink and the bartender being rude, I asked for my tab, the bartender ignored me, went outside to smoke instead, later came back and I asked again about 15 min later. Her excuse was "well your friends ordered a bunch and I forgot". I brought to her attention the price difference in my drink and the others, she laughed. She was also rude about Covid rules stating we had to move tables apart with 10 people (we only had 9). Celeste was the bartender and quite frankly I'll never set foot back in this place.
This is a great place to relax for happy hour with the regulars and cheerful staff. I have been coming here for years and some of the daily regulars have been loyal to this place for over two decades so that says a lot!

Been going to Thirsty Turtle Pub for Thursday Trivia all of 2020. Even won a few times. Great atmosphere. Celeste and Luke are awesome hosts/bartenders.
