★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Hidden gem. It’s new and nice! Street parking mostly and the entrance is off the street in the back. Take the train or walk from nearby. The bartenders are super cool and aim to please. These ladies work hard. The pool tables are typically taken later in the day but if you call next, you got it. All patrons are pretty courteous. They even have happy hour. Try the bar bites ranging from fried foods to pork rinds and nuts behind the bar. The pool tables are reasonably priced and quarters are available at the bar to break bills. There are TVs to watch sports and seating for those just hanging out. Definitely check it out!
May 13 · X. MoorerI like that there's something for everyone. I enjoy drinking, listening to music and eating. Some of my friends like to play pool, others like the slot machines and others like to watch the game. I've visited a few times - the manager Ray is friendly and the bartenders are sweet and skilled. I'm mostly a wine drinker but l often order what I see them make for others because they look good. Lol. The drinks also taste good! The food is also good. They seem to have a new menu and the additions are reasonably priced and tasty. I usually order the burgers or chicken wings with fries. But tonight I ordered the whiting fish, shrimp and mac and cheese platter. Yummy.
December 12 · Erika StarrA very cool place to play pool and enjoy music. The bartenders tends to get very busy and start favoritism. When I say favoritism I mean, if you’re trying to order but one of the bartenders see a familiar face they will take the familiar face first. (Just try to act like you been there before)
