The woman working was rude and disrespectful through the whole time we were there. Only when she brought the check was she anything close to polite or even civil. (Angling for a tip) We will never come here again and we will be sure to let everyone we know in the area how we were treated. P.S. The Pizza was actually pretty good.

Appears that some Sundays they have loaded Bloody Mary specials that are a meal in themselves though still a little spendy at $16.

A deceptively sterile storefront with a 'Stubborn Mule' logo that required binoculars to read. Might be some small town conservatism, but a place like this needs something more, like vintage Neon! Once inside, things come full circle. Somebody actually put on a 'Thinking Cap' and probably burned a few brain cells along the way figuring out an amusing 'Jack Ass Bar'. I could've easily driven right by, but I eventually enjoyed a 'cold one' in a place with an actual sense of humor.
