The place is 100 years old. Looks like I had the same Owner for over 50 or 60 years and now…read moresomebody else runs it for the last six years or so we went there for the fish fry. There were only two cars in the entire parking lot the bartender prepared an entire Atlantic cod, deep-fried that was 14 inches long and at some .2 inches thick for $20. We love the tartar sauce and ate almost all the fish. We also ordered a hamburger which was a little bit too overdone, but came with a heaping pile of french fries. The downfall of this place is the inside. There's definitely some improvements that could be made to the ceiling, but how do you improve a building that's over 100 years old with eight layers of paint? The one or two guys at the bar couldn't hold a conversation for 10 seconds without cussing , putting down women and expletives telling stupid stories as 30-year-old single drunk people would surrounded by other adults but I took my 10-year-old in here to try the fish. I guess you can't control what other patrons do. There were some tables outside that we could've moved our food and trays too but thought we'd just take the 25 minutes and endure inside. Cudos again to the nice bartender/server.

Best line dancing. Really, don't bother going to other places for dance. I've been to them all, and…read moremany around the country; Sundance is superior. On nights where there is line dancing (often Wednesdays and Fridays), you can expect a FULL night of GREAT music, all of which have line dances. Couples dancing is also integrated into the night. It's a good balance. It's beginner friendly, but also challenging in the best way. Very strong community. Food is also really great.

I've heard of this place for so long and have finally made my way out there. On Wednesday night…read moreit's country night where they teach line dancing. I do wish there was more line dancing taught. It opens at 6pm, line dance lessons started at 8pm and again at 9pm but it was like 15 minutes long and the rest of the night they played songs for line dancing but I spent my time on the sidelines since I couldn't pick up on the steps fast enough. I wish the instructor was able to be on the stage to teach it was hard to see with the crowd that was there. It's a $10 cover charge to enter and then whatever you spend on drinks and food. It's a place people come to week after week. I'll come back after I go to YouTube to learn some more of the dances.

Absolutely terrible experience. I ordered online through their website, paid successfully, and the…read morecharge immediately hit my credit card. When I got to the restaurant, they had my order sitting there, but insisted I hadn't paid. After showing proof from my credit card, the employee told me they "don't even use that system." Then explain how you somehow had my order? It got even more ridiculous when he said they don't have access to their own website and told me I would have to pay AGAIN if I wanted my food, then call the company THEY promote on THEIR website to dispute the original charge myself. Completely unacceptable. The entire interaction was unbelievably rude and dismissive. No accountability, no effort to help, just attitude. I have not been treated that poorly in a very long time. I've been a loyal customer for years and always tipped well, but after this experience, never again. I walked out and ordered from Macciano's instead. Night and day difference. Better service, professional staff, and a business that actually understands how its own ordering system works.

The place has a small-town, hometown feel with slot machines, cold drinks, and a definite locals' hangout vibe. It did take about 5 minutes before anyone greeted me, which wasn't ideal. Overall, the food was decent, but the service could use some improvement. Maybe, maybe, I'll be back.

If looking for anything fancier, stay away and up the street to the hipper restaurants. Has basic beer on tap, and some crafts in bottles and cans. The prices are pretty good on these. A place that's called an Irish pub, but it's really just a regular old bar. It doesn't actually have that much Irish about it except the Guinness. They do have festivities around St. Patrick's Day though. Good beer. It's about $5 a pint. The bigger named corporate brands are on tap. May or may not have food. Seems like it depends on if they feel like making anything I guess. Of course, really not sure if you would want to even eat anything. The place isn't filthy but it's kind of scuzzy. Cheap prices are the best things about it. It's pretty boring in the afternoon, and gets livelier at night. They're open pretty late until 3 usually, so this is one of the few places that are still open late, so they get crowded the later it gets from people coming from other bars or wherever.

I came here for an office happy hour and it was my first time hearing about it…read more I was blown away. The private room was perfect for our group. The bartender was kind and quick and took care of us sitting at the high tops when no one was at the bar. I had the Amber Ale and I would definitely recommend. I'm not a fan of the IPAs and I don't like the light beers much, so this ale is on my list as one of the best local beers around! The food that was catered was amazing. Great spinach dip, cheese bites, and the pizza was surprisingly delicious. It's rare that a bar pizza stands out, but I swear by this one. Loved the sausage and pepperoni and had my fair share before leaving. They even gave us take home containers so that I could take more home. All the employees here were kind and helpful. I definitely recommend you host an event here or come for yourself. You won't be disappointed.
