Service and atmosphere is amazing!!! My husband is in the hospital at Duke University Hospital and I came here to feel better and I’ve never made a better decision! Had a couple shots and the owner even bought me one! (Don’t expect that though)LOL They were so caring and actually had a conversation with me and it made me feel so welcomed and I appreciated it so much. I’m going to be leaving much happier than I was when I got here. For sure. y’all want somewhere to come hang out where you feel welcomed then come here! They have pool tables and table hockey or whatever it’s called. A good beer selection too. Wings are on the menu! Which is what I’m gonna come back for later in the week!!

The review really depends on what you're looking for. Some might like the atmosphere. Our office manager booked for our holiday party...not my first pick. Early recon suggested it was a smelly, sticky, total dive bar, but it wasn't that bad. Am I eager to hang out here again? No. My one and only drink was terrible, but I'm told other bartenders were better. We booked the whole place till 10, then they let regulars in, and it got insanely smoky insanely fast. I didn't even think that was legal. Also we catered out, so no info on the food. We found out the kitchen had to be closed about a week before our event.

Casual. Bartenders were great, music was fun 90s hiphop, but then Kareoke dude was really rude, total vibe kill.

I like that it's spacious and dimly lit. I enjoy playing music on the digital jukebox.
