This was the dive bar of my 20s. It's not a fancy bar, but it was always a good time. The drinks…read morewere always good. The bar tenders always great. Reasonably priced. It had pool tables, darts and a music box. Food was decent too. I loved that it was in walking distance to my house. I've been a few times in the past few years and it makes me miss my younger days. It's still fun though. A great dive bar for sure!

They have a few beers on tap and in bottles plus a full bar. Food menus are available and specials on are a big blackboard on the wall near the bar. After chatting with the cook for a bit seems he can make your spicy food as spicy as you like it. Just let them know. Pro tip. Besides bar seating a few high tops are scattered around the small space. I believe there is one bathroom for all, but I did not use it, so not sure. Entrance is up a couple of steps on the front or back of the building. A small covered outdoor seating area is at the back to enjoy the beverages in fine weather. Parking is across the side street in a lot shared with another business (that building looks uninhabited, but I'm told it's an event hall) or street side. Nice staff. Lovely locals. Super casual.

Honestly, it's a 5-star dive bar…read more You can't come here looking for some high class ambiance. You're not getting special cutlery or some crazy top shelf wine. What you are going to get is some pretty tasty simple food, decently good drafts and mix drinks coupled with a whole ton of retro vibes. Our server was quick, friendly, and helpful. The menu is plastic and a few pages of deliciousness. We had smoky pepper wings and a spicy pizza. No complaints for both. Crispy thin crust and crunchy nicely flavored wings. The games though are not the typical ones you'd find at a Dave & Busters. Instead, you'll find Mario, skeeball, teenage mutant ninja turtles, mortal combat, and all the other nostalgia fun you loved as a 70's/80's kid. Each inch of every wall is decorated with some sort of movie or tv reference, and it's just fun. So if you're bored of the typical bar scene, give this place a try. Get your cup of coins ready, and challenge some friends to some good competition.

She and her boyfriend were verbally assaulted and threatened by the female bartender after a small misunderstanding. She followed them out to the car, was banging on the window and had 2 men with her, blocking the car from the back so they could not leave. She and both guys did not have a mask on and were in close proximity to their faces. Awful customer service by this girl. Not only was she uncouth, she was also not following the guidelines of the state. We will not be recommending bitter end to others while someone so rude and volatile is employed there.

We stopped in on a Sunday at about 4:00pm because we had heard this was "jam" day. As I understand…read moreit, there are two alternating bands that let musicians/singers sign in and then perform in turn on their own instruments(except the drums for obvious reasons). I thought the band was good in all of its incarnations. There is a definite music theme throughout the décor. From the mural of rockers which covers an entire wall to the Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin base drums and the guitar shaped neon. If you wanted to watch the band and could not get a seat in the front room, there were a couple of cctv's showing the performers in the back and bar area. There is a full bar of about 20 seats with a decent selection of draft beer. When we were there the place was packed and the two bartenders were doing a good job of keeping up with the demand. There were about ten tables and no waitresses. You can order at the bar but I believe a sign is needed to direct one to the appropriate place to order. Food is available. We had a pizza that was very good. Mike

Went to this place as I'm new in town and it was me and my cousins birthday. I love a good dive bar…read moreto be a local at, as my father owns a business in New Bedford and I've worked at many in college. First thing to note is it's an all cash bar, they have solid number of pool tables that you rent by the hour, not the game. Drinks are really cheap and I can understand why this is a cool spot down town. Here's my issue; As me and my friends were drinking and talking the bartender Sydney went up to my boyfriend and pointed at my cousin ( who was having a good time jamming out to the music) and said "is he retarded" I went and had conversation with Sydney hoping that she didn't even use that terminology as well as why even say that???? She told me she was joking and instead of being like "ya that's not cool, my bad" she asked if there was going to be a problem and do I need to leave. Absolutely I need to leave! Extremely disrespectful, I will NEVER be back here or recommend this bar to anyone. Go to Rose Ally.

We stopped here late night after many rounds and not enough "real" food at Play arcade. Reviewing the receipt jogged my memory. Getting old(er) is no joke! The interior is very cool! It has a great vibe! The staff is friendly, and we were seated right away. We skipped drinks and went right to the food. We had fries, tuna nachos and deviled eggs. All of the food was reasonably priced and it really hit the spot. This was a quick visit that was absolutely worthwhile! If I'm back in New Bedford, I will definitely return here to explore the menu a little further.
