Happenings Sports Pub offers a wide-ranging menu with plenty of classic sports bar options, making…read moreit an easy choice when dining with a group. We started with the pretzel appetizer, which was hot and crispy on the outside while staying pillowy soft on the inside. The wasabi mustard is a game changer and easily the standout accompaniment. The queso is your standard yellow queso, similar to classic nacho cheese. We tried the Kingpin Brisket Sandwich with barbecue sauce on the side. The brisket is finely chopped but could benefit from more seasoning on its own rather than relying on BBQ sauce to carry the flavor. The pineapple slaw and onion straws add nice texture and layers of flavor, which makes you hope to see improved brisket quality in the future. The Philly was ordered to-go, and the portion size felt small for the $16 price point. The steak again lacked seasoning, though the bread was toasted nicely. It comes with peppers, onions, and mushrooms; I opted out of peppers and didn't really notice any mushroom flavor coming through. Overall, the menu has a wide variety of sandwiches, burgers, and wings, but I'd like to see improvements in seasoning, protein quality, and overall consistency. On a positive note, the server was very friendly and efficient, and the pickup process was smooth. Looking forward to trying additional offerings in the future and hoping to see some quality improvements across the menu.

Quiet but delicious…read more I went for the first time and was a bit concerned. When I walked in I was one of five people in the place but after a few minutes I was one of only two, but it was a Wednesday evening, so that's probs Ly why it was calm. It definitely wasn't due to the food, that is for sure. I had the clubhouse sandwich and it was very tasty. The fries were cooked just right and they were NOT over salted, thank goodness. Thankfully because it was calm, I was taken care of wonderfully by Eddie, he was very nice and attentive.

A previous review came out of the gate calling it for what it was ...a dive bar. I agree but…read moremyself, my wife & friends also had a blast there! The inside has the typical atmosphere of a local dive bar but it is also clean. The patrons were friendly & we also met the owner, Ginny the 1st time & Rye the bartender the next day who were both very pleasant. There is a basketball court out back to shoot some hoops as well as some corn hole boards...we shot hoops! My wife and girlfriend drank vodka-cran & sodas while me & my buddy drank some cold pbr's. For food we ordered some hot wings which were ok & could have been much better if they were just cooked a bit more...easy fix. We also ordered some redneck nachos that were very tasty! At the bar they have a half gallon glass water filled container with a shot glass at the bottom.The metal cover has a slot in the top to drop a quarter through & hopefully get the quarter in the shot glass ...I went 3 of 4! Free drink for getting the quarter in the shot glass. Finally I give a solid 3-1/2 stars and would notch it up to 4-1/2 stars with some TLC attention to the outside venue area. I do recommend you visit this very different establishment for an enjoyable time. Enjoy!

I traversed inside to place my order as there didn't seem to be service at that time. The waitress seemed off and kept making me wait while she asked the bar crowd who else wanted a drink. I waited and waited. Finally she took my order. I asked for the nachos and a draught beer. She seemed surprised I ordered food. She kept telling me I needed to order chicken or steak. I indicated that I didn't need those add one and was good with the refried beans listed on the menu. I told her I was sitting on the corner outside. That corner is where I sat, for more than half an hour, gasping for air. I was entertained by the music and some people dancing to the tunes. I really wanted my beer which never came. Finally my nachos arrived. They had a nice presentation but no beans. They were dropped at the table as she sped away. I tried to ask for my beer but she never hesitated long enough nor emerged to check on me. My nachos was more of chips and cheese with a lettuce salad on top. I was thankful for the jalepeno slices and made the best of it. After an hour I went inside to pay. The waitress ignored me again. When I finally got the bill it included the illusion beer that was never served. When I questioned it the waitress got frustrated and handed my ticket to an apologetic younger guy. I don't think wild horses could drag me back to this bar. Maybe if some friends were only willing to come hear the music but not venture inside... it's pretty sad as the music was great!
