The parking is free and pretty close to the door. I didn't see any designated handicap parking. Entering the establishment is pretty accessible as long as someone can open the door and help you up the one very small step to get in the door. The service was outstanding, our server was very quick to seat us, bring us our drinks and gave us a few minutes to go over the menu. The menu is pretty varied for a small bar serving appetizers, pizza, sandwiches and dinners. The night we were there they were not serving pizza so one of us ordered the shrimp dinner and the other ordered the spaghetti dinner adding a sausage and a meatball. The food came out pretty quick and hot. The shrimp was the prebreaded frozen variety and a couple were undercooked and couldn't be be eaten but other than that it was a tasty meal. The spaghetti had a homemade tasting sauce and the sausage and meatball was unique. The prices are very reasonable across the whole menu. They do have several gaming machines if you are into that.
