The place is on the corner with street parking and bigger on the inside than it looks. I meet dick while I was there and Liz was my server. For a neighborhood bar everyone was friendly and welcoming, no one of those click bars. The place is definitely dated in a good dive way with pool table, atm, music machine, gambling machines etc etc. I got so tired over the years of the same 4 old pictures so a steve stop by was desperately needed. I ordered a gin Rickey which is like over 140 years old and once popular but not today and I get the same confused look every time I order one. The menu is small and I will post a picture of it but I ordered the hot wings .75 cents with a minimum of 10, $7.50 is great for wings at this time in a restaurant. The wings are deep fried and finished off on the char grill, char grill is my favorite so I will need to try a cheeseburger next time. My wings looked good for a neighborhood bar that were medium sized so not tiny but not jumbo and just right. My wings were cooked perfect and still moist that were average so my favorite wing place is still safe. Overall it's a nice friendly bar that is definitely reasonable with two tall double cocktails and an order of wings for $19.50, hell some restaurants have wings for $16 on the menu now days. It's a great place to meet some new people and a conversations with new people. I would definitely go back again and I will.

I called first because C19 killed a lot of small businesses and places don't open until later but they were open. The place was friendly but not very full and it seemed that the few people that were in were possibly owners and employees by the conversation of scheduling and opening for super bowl tomorrow. The place looked clean and it didn't smell which was nice. The two ladies working the bar had no clue what a Gin Rickey was so no drink on me, any bartender who gets it with out asking gets a drink on me and that's only been 2 so far. Overall the place seems like a friendly neighborhood bar.

The place does a good job with the decor of an Irish bar with the woods, stone fireplace, windows and light fixtures etc. I ordered a spicy Bloody Mary to start and I looked over the menu but I remembered from my first visit that they have a burger of what ever so I asked what it currently was and it's a Swiss patty melt on marbled rye with choice of side, onion straws is a personal favorite of mine so yes please. My food came quickly before I could even make a dent into my decent spicy Bloody Mary which had two olives as a garnish, weak presentation at best. The place wasn't busy at all and my server/bartender didn't do a great job at taking care of me and I waited 10 minutes at least for a box and a check after I was clearly done with my meal. The Swiss patty melt looked delicious with a cold pickle, onion straws and what looked like 1000 island dressing on the side. The pickle was a nice size with decent crunch wise. The onion straws were perfect with a light breading, tasty/thin cooked in relatively fresh oil. The Swiss patty melt was cooked perfectly rare with a char grill flavor, melty Swiss cheese, translucent onions with some crunch on perfectly toasted marble rye bread. Overall the service could have been better and yah I could have ordered an Irish staple but I was thoroughly satisfied with with the Bloody and burger of the month.

Service can be a bit spotty at times, though it's les for a lack of trying and more of a lack of enough staff that tends to drive any issues. Everyone that is here, though, is friendly, to both newbies and regulars alike. This is definitely a "townie bar," so it's not uncommon to see the same faces whenever you come. One highlight on the menu to consider is the Artichoke and Chicken pizza. Baked on a crust so thin it's almost invisible, it's a great size and value and heats up well the next day too! Or get the nachos and have food for five!

To your right is another bar with a bigger area AND a roomy patio. To your left, there is the biggest room with a small stage and the DJ on opposite ends. Wait there is also another patio! There's also a bar across from the patio. You keep walking through Jo cats to the last room in the back with a bar in the middle and another patio! These patios are pretty roomy too. Great places for a fresh breath of air or a smoke break. I've never had a bad time with the bartenders or bouncers. Drinks are solid and do the job. The music is typical bar music. You can definitely wait to hear a song you like. The atmosphere just isnt for me. It can be packed in Jo Cats and it still looks boring. We walked through the entire bar. Not a single song pulled us to the dance floor. I try to only come when there's no cover so I dont feel salty about wanting to leave.

During the summer, the windows are gone, allowing for fresh air and more room to move around both inside and outside the bar.
