This place was such a pleasant surprise. We were there on a Tuesday evening around 7. The patrons and bartender Brian greeted us as we entered. Brian introduced himself and told us about the food they offered. We picked a great day to visit because the owner had smoked some ribs, pork butt, and pork loin. My husband and I had pulled pork sandwiches with their homemade BBQ sauce and it was absolutely delicious. Brian also makes a wonderful margarita. I would classify this place as a bar that has a limited menu but so much better than your typical bar cardboard pizza and microwave hot dogs. Our total bill for 1 Mich Ultra, 1 Jose margarita, 2 pulled pork sandwiches, and an order of onion rings was $26 before tip. Not bad at all! They also have 2 pool tables and a few dart boards. We'll definitely be back.

I've been commuting from VA everyday fr the past few weeks. Ended up working late and getting a room. Found this place after a did a quick Google maps search, and was IMMEDIATELY sold when a review said this bar reminded them of "Cheers". BRIAN was the bartender when I came in. He was super welcoming and had great small talk. As someone who's never been here, he treated me like a regular. CHARLIE, who prepared the food, also came out when he had time and was a pleasure to chat with. The food he made was really good. The environment is what I look for in a bar. If I lived here, this would be my regular spot.. It's refreshing to find small places like this, where people care and build a welcoming environment. I'd come back, NO QUESTION! Cheers to another late work day!

Went in for pool league, everything was nice and calm, until one of my players went up to the bar to order a drink. For some reason, one of the owners, who was drunk was sitting in the corner and threatened the player that went to the bar. Night pretty much went downhill from there. I'm a big believer in if you owned or work at the bar, you shouldn't be drinking there. Owner is lucky he didn't get slapped around.

I nice local bar. The bartenders are always friendly and quick on service. Pool tables and dart boards provide some entertainment as well. Karaoke was on Wednesday. My last visit, I tried the kitchen for the first time. I had wings that were pretty tasty. Cooked through and lightly crisp on the outside with tender meat inside,ample amount of sauce. I was pleasantly surprised and will try them again.

I'm friends with the owner and staff. I've been going here for years and always make it my place to go for karaoke. I'll miss everyone from there when I move.

Bartenders could do a much better job of being.... bartenders and not semi-patrons.

Pool tables are not bad. It's pretty mellow, the bartender was great. Food isn't bad either. It's a nice place to just sit and relax if you want to go out or try a new bar.

It's not your typical corporate appointed bar but, a nice, friendly place for locals, bikers, friends, pool players and karaoke lovers to get together to have fun and drink. Even though the bar closed at 1am and pretty sure the clock displayed the time at just before 11pm. Even when my husband asked the moment we walked in, what time the kitchen closed (12). When my husband went back less than 5 minutes later to ask for a menu, a different person told us the kitchen was closing in a minute. Then, when my husband went to put in our names for karaoke they were already shutting down. They did allow one of us to sing one song. Despite the minor setbacks, it was still a nice little bar. The people were very friendly and if we're ever back in the area we'll probably stop by again, just a little earlier and verify times with more than one bartender.
