Great place to eat drink and hangout. Owner is putting a lot of work into making the place even more welcoming and fun. Can never go wrong with the bar pie here. Moved here a couple months ago. Come back every week to try something new on the specials menu. Staff and regular customers are super friendly. Not a bad thing or person in this bar. Can’t wait to see what the owner does next with this place. Pricing is very fair and reasonable. If you haven’t been here stop in and give it a chance. I’ll probably be hereParking: 30+Kid-friendliness: Staff is always welcoming. Met the owner and chef my first time here

My wife and I just left there. Both doors are wide open. The wind is blowing in from the front of the bar. Lights are rocking. It is cold. Everyone complaining. I closed the front door. Everyone was happy. They said thank you..The little guy with the beard. He works there. He don't work there. He said to me, you only have ten minutes to keep that door closed. Like he was was threatening me..Thats funny. I said everyone is cold here. He said everyone by the other end of the bar is sweating. Very nice. You should keep an eye on the people you have working there. UPDATE.....His name is JoeHe does work for you..Very niiice....

The place is under new management apparently and it appears that the menu has been updated. The service is great and the beer is cold but the food is a bit inconsistent because they rotate their chef. It's an up and coming dive bar hopefully they can get their kitchen under control.

Last minute decision to go out for drinks not to mention we only had a little more than an hour before last call, and we made it count! The barmaid D was awesome, friendly, and very good at her job . I don't know how she put up with us LOL. D we'll definitely be back .Christine, Lizzy, Gina, and Billy

Great place for ice cold beer and decent bar food. Overall a pleasant experience. It looks and feels like a normal bar, but the people are very welcoming. The bartender was very nice and took the time to learn our names and was overall very friendly. The place is filled by local people, and they were all playing pool and having a great time. There was a birthday going on and they even shared cake with us!The French onion soup was ok, not great. The chicken quesadilla and the shrimps were both delicious. The Jersey burger had potential to be great but it was only good (I asked for a medium patty but they over cooked it).Overall a decent spot for a quick bite and a drink if you are a local or are in the area.

TLDR: great place for ice cold beer and decent bar food. Longer version: overall a pleasant experience. It looks and feels like a normal bar, but the people are very welcoming. The bartender was very nice and took the time to learn our names and was overall very friendly. The place is filled by local people, and they were all playing pool and having a great time. There was a birthday going on and they even shared cake with us! They have a cocktail menu, however they didn't have any of the mixers to be able to make the drinks. The bartender was very accommodating and we managed to find a cocktail that my wife enjoyed. The food was all made fresh which means they took a bit long, but it was worth the wait. The French onion soup was ok, not great. The chicken quesadilla and the shrimps were both delicious. The Jersey burger had potential to be great but it was only good (I asked for a medium patty but they over cooked it). In overall, a great spot for a quick bite and drink during a late night if you are a local or are in the area. Prices are decent and staff is great!
