    What a neat, weird little bar in a basement of a house! I would have thought this was super shady if I hadn't seen the license on the wall. The drinks here are poured very well. I haven't had their food but it always smells delicious.

    Small establishment. We'll run. The people are great. Drinks are good and reasonably priced. I'm hoping for a membership. 😊

    First time there the other night. Great drinks. Fish fry sandwich was excellent. Well off the beaten path. Everyone was some welcoming... Everyone turns to great you as you enter. Reminded me of "Norm" in the TV show Cheers. Definitely coming back.

    Only reason I didn’t give stars for food… the Millers tasted good that night! Next time… I’m down for some soul food because it looked and smelled delicious!
