The other short girl that looked preggo was so rude and just ignored me when I was the only one at the bar, but my male friend went up and she went right to him. I don't think she understood that women can be big tippers too if you just be respectful and do your job. Food was ok for a dive bar, but I'd never go back because of the service.

I am regularly nearby this place so stop by from time to time, almost always on a Saturday or…read moreSunday afternoon. I've never been here at night nor seen live music here. Judging by the other reviews, the place gets rowdy later, but I've never had any issues in the afternoon (I am also a quiet and polite white man; change any of those and the experience may differ). I've been here alone and with friends. I usually sit at the bar, have a beer or two, and typically some food. The food (burgers, pizza, wings) is surprisingly good. Taking a point off because I do believe I got food poisoning here once. The place looks like it is built to be abused. Cinder block prison-style restroom, stage that probably should have chicken wire in front of it; you get the picture. Barmaid is very nice and attentive. The clientele is consistent; I seem to see the same people here every time I stop in. It is very casual and reasonably priced.

These were more like a steak fry cut than wedges, but man alive were they good. An actual fresh cooked sweet potato. I choose that option often and these were the absolute best I have ever tasted. The burgers were excellent though they use leaf lettuce instead of iceberg. I took the barrel sauce on the side. It is a spicy ketchup aioli and went well on the burger and for dipping potatoes. I also got some mayo on the side, happy to report no charge on that as some places do. The Reuben balls were out of this world. Plenty of meat, cheese and kraut with the proper amount of crunchy breading. I could even taste caraway so it was just like mini hot Reuben sandwiches. All the above food items are highly recommended. Looking at the redesigned menu it seems they want to stress restaurant over bar which is as it should be with this quality of food. The atmosphere would be enhanced in my opinion if the staff dressed up a bit. They were all extremely casually dressed. The main dining room is all tables; if you want a booth there are a few at the rear of the bar side. They have a good sized outdoor space, but a view of Central Avenue in Middletown does not really grab me. There were a lot of people dining outside. Our waitress was very enthusiastic about the food - with good reason- and answered many questions. She checked on us appropriately though the food was delivered by other people. I don't like that practice. There was one wrinkle, my husband wanted the baked potato but his burger showed up with fries. The correct item came shortly, with apologies, and we got to keep the fries too! We will gladly return and you should too.

If you like dives, then you might want to check this place out. I stopped in on a Saturday…read moreafternoon after attending to some business in Middletown. The place is a block or two off the main road, in a light industrial area. The building itself looks like an old house. It is very dark in there (disorienting at first) with a long bar and some tables. On Saturday afternoon, it was bumping - there were patrons at the bar and at some tables, and they were having a good time. Everyone here knows everyone else. This is the kind of place that serves Natural Light in a can. I didn't notice any draft beer, just liquor and beer in bottles/cans. Cheap drinks. I was hoping to eat, because the one other review mentioned food (and it was on the sign) but I saw no evidence of food...no one else was eating, there were no menus, etc. I didn't ask about it; had a beer or two, listened to some others chat, watched some basketball, and took off. No one was smoking in here, but you will come out smelling like smoke. It is divey, but there's nothing wrong with it. If divey is what you're into, check it out.

The bartender greeted us as we walked in & made us feel right at home. We found a table & placed our soft drink order. They brought us each a can of soda pop with a glass of ice. My husband didn't want wings so he ordered a 3 topping pizza (pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms). I tried a slice of his pizza & didn't like the canned mushrooms. He liked it though. I ordered 12 hot garlic parmesan wings & they were delicious. The celery & blue cheese with my wings was good. We will definitely eat here again on a Thursday evening for more 50¢ wings.

We had never had chicken tacos before so we were interested. My wife ordered the Memphis Dawg, i decided on the tacos and we would split the food. I don't eat hot dogs very often but this was very good. Two decent sized dogs and a bag of chips for $13, I think. The tacos were 3 for $10. The tortillas were filled with enough chicken and cheese and other things to fill me up. I was full. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Next time maybe we will order burgers.
