However, this was convenient for my friend as he lives across the street from this place. Now, past the back story and on to the real story... When we came into the bar, the place was empty, with the exception of a few locals. As my friend and I approached the bar, we were greeted warmly by the bartender. I ordered my 'usual' (double Hendricks and tonic) and my friend, his usual (pineapple and vodka). The bartender nailed both of the drinks as it relates to ratio. The music in the place was at a tolerable level, which was great as we could hear ourselves talk without having to yell. The bar itself is dark, which I am sure only enhances the effects of those who tend to wear beer goggles. Aside from the low light, the smell of this place is rather musty and not in a good way. I suppose if one drinks enough, the smell won't bother you. The four-star rating here is warranted for the friendly service, but the dive bar/ karaoke bar could use some freshening up.

I do not recommend this bar to anyone!! I was there this past Friday evening just to have a couple of beers with a friend. I haven't been out in over a year! We played music on the juke box and overrode what was playing. Let me tell you!! There where 4 individuals there that didnt appreciate that at all. One woman came from one side and cussed us out and called us nothing but trouble makers. Antoher grown man sarcastically said "oh thank you for playing your music". Then his wife came up to my friend and was in her face yelling and cussing her as to why we overrode the music. That her husband paid good money, well she paid more to listen to her music now. She told the woman it is a free country, Is this not true? What really got to me is when you have costumer's "grown men" talking to woman so ugly, i was even called a lesbian! Really, happily married with 3 kids, so no I am not a lesbian. Just out to have a couple of beers and listen to some music. If your establishment doesn't want to have a diffrent genre of music played or have music overrode then you need to change your settting to the juke box. I was very upset, angry, embarrassed. Please becareful i you decide to visit this establishment. The only ONE good thing i can say about this place is that the bartender really held it together and tried to make peace. She tried to keep the ladies and the men from coming to our table. Really guys, GROW UP!!!! I will never visit this place again!!!!!!!!!! read more
