I hadn't been here in over a decade and was impressed on the upkeep. We stopped for lunch on a Saturday. Simple one page menu with sandwiches, pizza and salads. Sandwiches come with a choice of tots or fries. My husband ordered the club which was huge. He had to take a portion home. I had the French dip which is served on garlic cheese bread. Food was delicious. The bartender/waitress was so nice. Talked with us some and then turned the Cardinals game on the tv near us so we could watch. This place has a nice, comfortable neighborhood feel.

I was pleasantly surprised how well the burger tasted. The burger needed a little more seasoning. The fries were hot and crunchy. I asked for pickles and I received pickle slices and a spear.

Discovered this dive bar during the World Cup games. The inconsistencies in decor/vibe throughout…read morethe place makes sense later knowing the bar was on Bar Rescue around 2024/2025. We had a good time playing pool and there was a male bartender making our first drinks that was very friendly and conversational. The female bartender made our second round of drinks and was more standoffish as if we didn't fit the "dive bar scene" since we were dressed up a bit. We enjoyed a couple rounds of pool and watching the World Cup game then we left before karaoke was about to start. Bar itself has plenty of seating and nice lighting for the bottles. After learning the story about the owner and the bar, I'm very happy this place is still open but I don't think we'll be back.

We visited The Fireplace Bar for Friday night karaoke. This is a dive bar, in a good way. There are…read morepool tables and darts. It was very loud when we visited, not because of the karaoke, so it was a bit difficult to speak with the bartenders. I guess people were having a good time! There are lots of drink choices at reasonable prices. There is also food, which I didn't try. For the karaoke, you go up to the KJ get into the queue, and then add your songs across the evening for each of your turns. There was quite a variety being sung. You sing in front of the fireplace. There is a little bit of room to dance around the edges but not much. Despite being a "nonsmoking" bar, there were patrons vaping indoors and there was a cigarette smell inside (perhaps wafting in from the smokers outside?). The ladies bathroom was very clean. There is free parking outside in their attached lot, but you might have to get creative if you get there later in the night, as the lot gets crowded. This bar has a fun vibe for your friend group to go blow off some steam, but probably not a good place to take a first date.

That was terrible. We were there on a Sunday and the restaurant was running a bingo promotion. When…read morewe arrived there was more than adequate staff. But that was all that was adequate. The service was slow and the food quality was poor. The chili mac had too little chili, too little cheese and had sat under a heat lamp so long that the mac had welded to the plate. At least the flavor was average. It took too long to get waited on, too long to get served, too long to bus the dishes and way too damn long to get the check. When I come back it will be because someone else chose the restaurant.

They have a small lunch menu with items like burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot ham and cheese, and Italian subs. I chose cottage cheese as my side which I always choose if it's on the menu but next time I might try the fries just to check them out. This appears to be an established neighborhood bar with no frills, but exactly what you'd expect from a well loved spot that probably hasn't changed in decades. I preferred to sit outside on the patio and enjoy the sunshine, especially since the interior bar area reeks of cigarette smoke. I have no idea if they allow smoking inside or if that's a lingering scent from years past. Service was good and the staff are friendly. I would come again and sit on the patio. That burger was so juicy & cooked perfectly!

Ashley's DJ and Karaoke I can't say enough good things about…read moreAshley Kemp. She was the DJ at our wedding and was absolutely phenomenal. We needed special recording played during our ceremony and she did it perfectly. The reception was a perfect mix of fast paced music and slow dancing. What really impressed me was how much she cared. Our wedding was in July and she was calling me in April to make sure she had everything she needed so my husband and I didn't have to worry about anything. The owner of the venue was a pain. She was a nightmare to deal with and gave Ashley a hard time, I'll go into that in another review. Ashley was the vision of professionalism in the face of overwhelming rudeness and disrespect. She was very clear that she worked for my husband and I and if the owner didn't like it, they would have to drag her out in handcuffs lol Weddings are always stressful, but the one thing we knew was that we didn't have to worry about Ashley. She was going to do anything and everything to make sure everything was exactly what we wanted and she absolutely delivered. Her energy was unmatched. She coordinated with the photographer and videographer to help make sure I got pictures and video of everything I wanted, played every song I asked for, kept our guests engaged and on the dance floor. She even made the time to join us on the dance floor herself. At the end of the evening my husband and I were the only ones there, but she kept playing with the same energy she had all day so that we could dance alone together the way we did when he proposed. If you want a DJ that is great at her job, cares about your wedding day, or event, and has a wonderful personality, hire Ashley. Don't even talk to anyone else. She is the total package. A great DJ and a great person.

Absolutely love this bar They have a few games (buck hunter) a pool table, darts and plenty of tv to watch the game. Small parties are better here as the space is limited. Beer is always cold and fast. Food is good for bar food. Mini Tacos w/ sour cream is the way to go or the Catfish! This place is also very much light on the pocket books. Wednesdays is Trivia (not easy trivia, geared towards the older crowds) and Saturday is Karaoke. But do note- this is a smoking bar. If you don't smoke, don't like smoke and don't want to be around smoke, this is not the bar for you.

A loooooooong time ago I used to drink here a lot with my friend Derek. I love the pool table here…read more Still do. I miss all the people who used to work here, but I really like and respect the people who work here now. Very tight knit community, looks out tough for its staff and most importantly, it's customers. I travel a lot of places and I see a lot of things I know a good service community when I see it. Customers here are mostly cool too, they look out tough for deb and her businesses. One day when I'm all the way right again, I look forward to stopping in to at least say hi and thank this place again for always being decent to me... even when I was not being decent to myself. All love and respect to Deb and her awesome bar!

Plenty of tvs for all the games. If you like pinball, they have many machines and leagues to join. Karaoke is going to be every Fri & Sat for the new year. They do not have food but you are able to bring your own in. The drinks were delicious and they had a free champagne toast at midnight. Very nice place - we will be back!

The chili had a good flavor; it was a little thick but good. Service was good and quick, it was a bar like atmosphere, I would go back just based on good salad dressing!
