Incredible place! Pricing is super affordable and great value! Accidentally stopped into this place, but will definitely be returning! The drinks were cheap, with an incredibly well priced selection of whiskey/bourbons! Was originally skeptical of the dive bar style food but it came out and was fantastic, everything tasted very fresh and flavorful! Definitely make sure to stop by if you are looking for a drink and meal! Adam (owner) was by far the greatest bartender and was super welcoming. He made the experience above and beyond! - Alexander Fletcher
