I tried to get a drink at the bar and the bartender said my ID looks "sus". I'm about to turn 29 and my ID is 100% legitimate. Good luck running a successful business with these actions. This place is a joke!

It's an okay place.. cheap drinks, and an interesting crowd goes there. Lots of drama. I'd give it another try, but overall average especially since the jukebox is sometimes a dollar per song and half the time no music is playing unless you pay for it.

Dive bar thru N thru. Beer is the most sanitary drink you can get here. The bar staff have favorites but I'm not one of them. Be nice and don't ask twice at this bar.

I got a bloody mary and a lone star for less than ten bucks out the door. The bartenders here are very cool! Customers are mostly regulars so I definitely got a Cheers vibe from this plac which is great. I appreciate all the suggestions they gave me to go visit locally. I'll be back! 💯👏

Prices and bartenders are perfect. Would be nice if the door guy would remember we are guests and ease off the power trip. Also, a food truck is all this spot is missing

There's a pool tournament every Wednesday for the regulars. This place is an old Austin bar and has lots of history. If you like dive bars this is the place! Friendly locals too 🙏💪💙🔻👌

I love this little bar. The patrons and the bar tenders are so very friendly. Jennifer the bartender is my favorite! She always remembers my drink and my name!
