This place has 9 different bars/atmospheres in it. The most ecletic establishment I've ever been. Nighttime life place, super different and interesting. Bartender Harrison is your man. It's worth checking it out on sat night for sure, from club dance floors to live music stage and hole in the all slanted bars, it caters for pretty much all sorts.

LOVED IT!!! This place was walking distance to our air bnb so we were able to get a tad drunk and walk home nice and easy. Our bartender was awesome! My husband and I do not drink much so we just asked for recommendations and he delivered! We did karaoke and the crowd was so involved. It was a Wednesday but it was poppin! Arcade was super fun and really eats your quarters but worth it! Pizza was dang good for bar pizza and definitely worth the price for how big it was! Cheap drinks too! Would definitely love to return!

Our group rented out the ice room way in the back for karaoke night for a very large group! Our bartender Joe was great. Now the bar is definitely something..... And different rooms with different themes, so you can't say it'll be a dull moment that's for sure. What a local dive bar which always can be so much fun! And we had a great time!! Did not quite understand the security though. I mean I do... But if you have to walk through the scanner for weapons and then You are a female with a purse and you put that off to the side, walk through and then pick up your purse on the other side - hello you didn't scan my purse... How do you know "it" wasn't in the purse? Just asking for a friend 😉🤣🤣🤣

Had a bartender try and charge me $380 for some drinks, I maybe spent $60. They ran my card normally when I paid and left then they ran it again for the $380 and put that I was a walkput. Had my bank reach out to Koots and they fabricated my signature. They have some real bottom feeders bartending.
