Cash Only and Uncaring Service
My experience at this restaurant was quite negative. The fact that it's cash only felt suspicious. The bartender was completely indifferent to the customers on 12/5/25, showing a lack of care for her clients. I would advise tourists against visiting this establishment. Additionally, there is no kitchen, which is a significant drawback.

Great Bar Setting for Friends
We really like going there. It offers a welcoming atmosphere where you can chat with your friends without shouting, all within a proper bar setting. The service and food were excellent, both receiving a perfect score.

Cool Late Night Spot, Watch Your Wallet!
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While it's a cool late night spot, I unfortunately lost $100 and my belt. This suggests that while the atmosphere might be appealing for late-night visits, there are significant concerns regarding personal safety or the establishment's security measures, leading to a negative experience with price and potentially service.

Awesome Bartenders, Great Cocktails!
My experience at this restaurant was great, especially considering the dive bar vibes. They offer very affordable non-blended cocktails, which were a pleasant surprise. The bartender ladies are always AWESOME! I've ordered from at least four of them, and they're all wonderful and attentive. They all work so hard, and I give them major props.

Dive Bar with Great Bartender
My experience at this bar was overall nice. It's a dive bar that offers pool tables and dart boards. The bartender was nice and doing a great job, however, for a Friday night, there was only one person behind the bar. The toilets were disgusting, but not the worst I've encountered.

Great Dive Bar with Amazing Service!
My experience at this great little dive bar was fantastic! It's equipped with all the amenities you could want, including pool, darts, pinball, and table games. However, the absolute best part of my visit was the amazing service. I highly recommend this place!

Great Pinball and Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I was impressed by the 3 pinball machines available: LED Zeppelin, New Star Trek (pro version), and Metallica. They all work great! The atmosphere was a perfect 5/5, and the food also received a perfect 5/5. The service was equally excellent, rated at 5/5. Parking was a breeze with a free parking lot and plenty of parking space. The price per person was between $30–50.

Great hometown bar experience
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic. After a long bartending shift, Cassie and her regulars provided great company for a few drinks. It truly felt like a Grade A hometown bar. Thanks, Casie!
