The atmosphere is great and the owners are super nice and welcoming. They will stop at nothing to make sure you are comfortable and happy. The food items are fantastic, and during happy hour you can get a couple of pints for two people, and appetizers for two people for about 20$. Can't beat that. It's worth a stay if you are downtown and looking for a place to chill out.

The manager Kevin is such an awesome guy. I had an inconvenience happen, decided to leave a voice message with my Number. He called me back the next day, handled the situation very In a very caring, respectful manner. Emphasized That it was very important to him. He kept in touch with me till it was figured out, from now on. If I have any problem at this place. I will be asking for Kevin. Definitely made a good friend! And we would recommend coming if you’ve never! You’ll have a good time, and if anything ever turns left, he’ll make it, right ! 🙏🏻

This has always been one of my favorite bars to go to. The atmosphere is amazing. The gentlemen working the doors always make sure to grab the door so you almost never have to touch it. The bartenders are amazing! I've never had a bad experience with any of my drinks. Sometimes they host ladies night here, but I mostly come wednesdays for the salsa and bachata lessons. The avant garden ballroom academy is super patient in their free 30 minute class, and it's always something different each week. DJ Quico plays a mixture of music all night to dance to. If your not interested in the dancing they do have pool tables and t.v.s on the other side. I have tried their sweet potato fries here, they are delicious. 😊

What a trip in time! I got they when it first opened for lunch. I had some fish with fries cooked perfectly. I had a couple of cold ones and watched a ball game with dinner good music in the background. The bartender was great. She was actually very beautiful on the outside and very kind of the inside. You have to check out this place if you are in town. I have to admit I didn't read one book. 😂
