Interesting experience! Definitely a smaller space, but still has all the amenities of a regular bar : one (non-operating) pool table, bar and table seating, slots, touch tunes (which we decided to interrupt the stream of Nickelback and country with WAP... too good), and of course table service.
I did find it a little strange that no one greets you or really acknowledges you once you walk in, and there are no signs to tell you what to do,(especially in the time of COVID), so we took a seat after scoping out the place for a minute. After sitting down we were welcomed with an immediate, "Can I get you a round of something", which is nice! Once we got our first round, we ordered from the very reasonably priced menu and were served big ol' servings-- I mean my burger was only 8.50 and it came with a COPIOUS AMOUNT of fries. Their chili was decent, the meal was good. They were accommodating of my allergy which is awesome!
I chose to give 3 stars for a couple of reasons, none of which are bad! The food was good, the table service was nice, but we were only approached when our drinks were empty (makes sense, but no food check-ins). The atmosphere is a little dull, the place is filled with obvious regulars, the environment is much more small-town dive bar, and I could see how this would be unappealing to younger generations or newcomers (like ourselves). My husband and I think it would be a nice spot for calmer evenings or a mellow date night, but it's definitely not for everyone. Their selection of liquor is fairly basic and limited, but the drinks were good.
Overall it wasn't a mind blowing experience, but it was nice! We had fun and we're served good food, the best part-- we could actually hear our conversation without the loudness associated with the downtown scene and we didn't break the bank getting a nice buzz on. read more
