There's a variety of seating (including some cool very tall-backed chairs), which is a nice change of pace. There's a small menu, drinks, and coffee/sweets. The service is super cheery and prompt. The food is a bit middle of the road and humdrum, and our "hot" beverages were tepid at best. I recommend getting a drink over getting coffee, all things being equal. We'll see if it survives the closing of the Van Gogh Experience, but it's easy to see how with the right management, and maybe a slightly gussied up menu, this could become a destination and not just a stop-off.

This place is like your weird uncle's basement--but with darts, pool, strong drinks, and a…read moreshockingly clean bathroom. Like, disturbingly clean. You almost feel guilty using it. It's not trendy, it's not cute, and yes--you're literally hanging out in a basement. But it's got that divey charm that grows on you the longer you stay (or the more you drink). The jukebox slaps, the drinks are poured with love (and no measuring), and everything's within walking distance, so you don't even need to worry about how many shots you had. We came for "one drink" and ended up arguing over pool, slinging darts like pros, and bonding with strangers over random jukebox picks. The vibe is weird--but weirdly perfect. Come for the drinks. Stay for the vibe. Question your life choices on the walk home.

3.7 stars rounding to 4; this is a good dive/local bar…read more Peckhams Place, or as my friends affectionately call it - Peckerhams, has been a favorite spot for locals in the village of Scotia for decades, and was introduced to me as "the place we go when we aren't ready for the night to end" when I first moved here. Peckhams is under new ownership this year, and we are loving what we've seen with the changes, so far. It is the same local basement bar atmosphere we love to love [I'm talking decent beer prices ("i pay less for a Wolf Hollow here than AT Wolf Hollw"), sports on TV, a pool table and space to be with your people] but with more UMPH and interest than recent years. I was THRILLED to see a live music scheduled throughout the year and have been excited by other events they've shared on social media, including offering a Turkey Dinner for anyone who may not have family and wanted to come by to eat and celebrate together on Thanksgiving. [and then my heart grew three sizes.] Added bonus: according to their website, Peckhams Place is now able to accommodate parties up to 75 people and they offer catering by Ruggiero's.

I regret not taking his name for this review but, 'The Guy' (you know who you are) was very pleasant and attentive. His station was some ways away from our lane. Despite this, anytime we ran into trouble (e.g. when a pin got stuck) he already spotted it and promptly started working on resolving the problem. There were a lot of attendees but the venue didn't feel overcrowded or uncomfortable. Everyone from the teens to the seniors was well-behaved and had a grand time. The venue was clean (including the male bathroom) and lively. Both the bar and the mini restaurant were open. We ordered fries and chicken tenders. We received our meal quickly and it tasted well. "I'll be back!"

Right after I got there A man walked up to me at our table and said very RUDELY " you gotta be out of here at 4:45 we have another party coming in, so get your kids shoes and get them bowling "! The point in having a party at a place like this is so you have time to enjoy yourself but we didn't because we couldn't! From being rushed out the door right after you arrive, they don't give you a hostess, they didn't even give the children FOOD or DRINKS untill 4:15!! We had to buy drinks from a vending machine!! Any time we needed something we had to wait to get help, and most of the time we had to hunt the employees down because they were in the back room! Every time we asked for help or needed something we were treated poorly! Spoken to with attitude and sarcasm! I was told each child would get a pass for a free game of bowling (we didn't get them)! Now I have to drive 25 minute to go pick them up! I can't even give them to most of the children because they live over an hour away! The pizza was over cooked, like to the point it was rock hard! How do you give that to a toddler??? We weren't given any utensils, we had to hunt them down ourselves, they didn't give us enough cups, plates or napkins! I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone! I'm so unbelievably disappointed with this place! We paid WAY TO MUCH FOR THE LITTLE BIT WE GOT!

All the bartenders have been super friendly and have given great service during my exchanges. 2. the craft cocktail menu seems to be a hit! The bar has been filled with fancy looking drinks the first two times I visited, leading me to choose my own fancy cocktail during visit #3 - the Jumanji, a rum based fruity drink that hit the spot. 3. I love, love, LOVE that we have found a new music venue for local tunes several nights of the week. I've seen one new-to-me artist and came back another night when a band I've seen before was visiting. Both nights had good sound, great lighting, and people dancing in the building. My kinda night! 4. the vibes are chill enough to not feel stuffy and updated enough to feel like you are in a trendy spot with the cool kids 5. haven't visited when it isn't chilly, yet, but I am STOKED to spend time on the outdoor back patio, after taking a look during my last visit. So much seating and space for porch beers. 6. the Simone's connection make the food avaialble a YES, PLEASE
