Friendly service with great music and the drinks are affordable. Cash only.
Enter at your own risk. I was almost attacked by 2 dogs immediately upon walking in. Didn’t see anyone behind the bar but barely had a chance to look because the dogs came sprinting and snarling and barking across the bar. I barely had time to get out and shut the door. When I shut the door I heard the dogs jump up against it. I’m a huge dog person so it takes a lot for me to get scared by dogs but this was terrifying and incredibly irresponsible of whoever operates this bar.
It won't be for everyone but the drinks are cheap, the music is good and has a great vibe with dvds playing on the TV and cool art and decorations on the walls. It is cash only (there is an ATM on premises). Bartender was attentive and personal.
This is a below the street dive bar, but it's awesome. Great party vibe, great variety of music. It's for 30 something crowd but all ages welcome. $5 domestic bottled beer. Very small bar and it gets jam-packed, get there early to get your spot!
If you're looking for the diviest of dive bars this place is for you. Fun memorabilia everywhere. Unfortunately my wife didn't feel comfortable cause all the stares from the majority male clientele. We left before even ordering a drink, which the bar tender didn't seam to be in any hurry to take our order.
People here are very nice 👍
Epic dive bar!! Such cool decor, friendly bartender, good bottled beer selection (and Santa Fe Brewing IPA on tap), free darts. Music was rocking and we sat at the bar, so much to observe while you have your drinks. Highly recommend you check them out for a drink!
