This place puts the dive in "Dive Bar." An amazing fossil from before the Bridge Street gentrification project. I hope this place lasts forever. Sit near the front if you can. The closer you are to the rest room, the more pungent the smell. Classic!

Great place to stop in and just relax for a bit. Everyone's friendly and the bartenders are great. They have booths on one side and a more open area in the back for larger groups. It's a bit small, with perhaps a capacity of 60-75 people. Expect to wait in line late at night on weekends.

This place sucks, the bouncer took my bfs ID said it was fake when it was not, so we had to sit there for 45 mins waiting on the cops to come after I had asked him politely to get a second opinion and he refused so then they are looking at it for a while and he come out like an hour later with the ID and says “first time I have been wrong” He was incredibly rude and disrespectful. Would not recommend this place at all. Would put 0 stars here if I could 🙂 will not be coming back

The food is actually the pizza and garlic knots from next-door which are for sure. Five stars the service of course with bartenders like Timmay and Nathan and Maegan and Nick and Rush. How can you possibly go wrong?

This place is the best dive bar (and I say dive with all due respect)that I've ever been to. The bartenders are a family. The atmosphere is perfectly laid back. And they cut people off and walk people out before they have a chance to ruin it. You have to experience it to appreciate it.

Do not go to this dive bar, the staff is so worthless they will look you in the eyes for over two hours and never give you service. Most pathetic job skills as bartenders go to the next bar over it will be much more worth your time. I suggest OTooles across the street. Or Fratelies Kitchen and Bar. Unless you want to be treated like scum avoid this place at all cost! They will also threatened you if you voice a complaint. Most unprofessional staff i have ever met. That employee should be fired.
