The worst experience ever. The entire atmosphere was racist. From the moment you walk in all you hear is racist remarks thrown left and right. Literally about every ethnic group. When I had enough of it and spoke up, politely asking for the waitress to intervene they (old grown men) were obviously badgering a lady of color as she was exiting the building, they all attacked me as well. They waitresses stood around smirking as it all took place. When I asked the waitress why would you permit this type of behavior in the establishment she told me my kind was not welcomed.

This is our second time here, we were the only ones here, bartender was friendly, drinks were good at a good price. Did eat this time but it's a neat small place and will be back to try food.

Jennifer O.
One of the nicest bars I've been in. Friendly staff, friendly customers. Feels like a Cheers place! Food is delish! 5 slot machines and a very nice smoking area for you smokers
Holly Flynn
Great place for a drink after work. Nice owners, good bar food & live music/Karaoke on weekends
Aaron Wallace
Great place, with fantastic staff and friendly regulars!
Fun, laid back, and affordable! Great big outdoor area for music and Cornhole. Inside, pool, lucky video games and beautiful bartenders. Who could ask for anything more? Almost forgot the Sunday Bloody Mary bar with shrimp & bacon (or not lol)

Although I have sent a message to the owner, I will still post this review, and update it if I receive any response: DO NOT GO HERE. I am a caretaker for a 76 year old veteran in the early stages of dementia with severe heart issues. He is having heart surgery soon, and we went to several medical appointments today to 'check all the boxes' required for surgery, which includes dental exams, cardiologists, etc. On our way home, my 'friend', (I refer to him that way because he is my friend but also hates the fact that he requires a caretaker and doesn't like people to know about it) wanted to stop for a drink. No problem, he and I go out for drinks almost every day, and I am looking for a place we can frequent that he will remember and feel comfortable in. When we first arrived, the bartender demanded a credit card, quite rudely. We ordered drinks, I went outside to smoke, and when I came back, the bartender and an old lady standing at the end of the bar were upset with my friend. I apologized on my friend's behalf, if he had said anything bad, and the bartender seemed to accept it and everything seemed normal. My friend and I watched a restoration show for a few minutes, spoke about his upcoming medical procedures/appointments, and pretty much focused on nothing except hanging out and dealing with the aftermath of the previously referenced medical issues. After finishing my beer, the bartender was engaged in conversation with other customers, so I patiently waited until her conversation was finished. A few minutes later, after hearing her tell other customers that she was "basically" the manager, I very politely asked for another beer. She immediately told me, loud enough for everyone in the bar to hear, that she was closing the tab for my friend and I, that we looked like we were on meth, it was time to leave, and we were banned. Bear in mind, there was no provocation, I had simply asked for another beer, my friend and I had much more serious stuff on our minds at the time and had mostly kept to ourselves, so we had no clue what she was talking about. The aforementioned old lady at the end of the bar then stood next to my friend and started berating and cursing at him, and told him it was time to get the f*ck out, after again referencing meth. The bartender, rather than stepping in and trying to stop the verbal attack, then smiled, laughed, and loudly said "I love my regulars". When I tried to explain that there were no drugs involved, she said she 'had a bad vibe'. Rather than even quietly suggesting we leave, or taking one of us aside, she quite loudly stated we were on meth, and it was time to go. We are both veterans, and hate conflicts, but we are both vehemently anti-drug (except MJ). To be accused of being on meth would have been bad enough, but for her to announce it to the entire bar was unacceptable. Below is how I finished my message to the bar owners' "contact us" page: "I expect no resolution, and understand that we weren't required to go there, but it is incredibly alarming and disheartening that two veterans returning from medical appointments were loudly accused of being on meth and publicly shamed for zero reason. Heart surgery is pretty serious, and the afternoon had already been stressful. Had she asked or even seemed remotely interested in being a decent person, I would have been happy to explain and even show medical documentation. Between my friend and I, the worst thing you can find in our system is alcohol, followed by marijuana, then nicotine. To have this happen was embarrassing, unwarranted, and does not reflect well on your bartender or your bar." Side note: they have a bottle of Aviation gin. My friend asked if he could try it, because he had never heard of it, and the bartender said, 'I don't give out free samples'. In all reality, he probably would have bought a shot or two; again, stressful day. The bartender then commented that it just sits there because the owner brought it in for a ga
