    Caught this place while walking to find some food in the area seemed like a pretty cool place but the people we had with us were hungry and it didn't seem like this place was serving food at the time so we decided to go to Bobcat Bonnie's right down the street to grab a bite and a few drinks. Would for sure like to check the place out though if back in the area..

    I came out here to check the place out have not been here in a while. One thing I immediately noticed is they were doing open mic comedy. It was the 4th of July weekend so I figured I'd check it out. The only thing that I think they could do a little better is if people sign up to perform they should be able to perform around the time that they sign up. Unfortunately, it doesn't always work that way because there are more recognized Comics that can cut ahead in line. From a professional standpoint and also from a Time standpoint that doesn't work. Number one reason is let's say you come in there early and you sign up you shouldn't have to wait almost 4 hours to perform. It's not professional and it is not fair. At the end of the day people's time is precious and my wife and I were not happy with how things went. May come back to see how things go in the future may not. But if I would change one thing it would be when someone signs up you put them on in a timely fashion and don't skip them. Otherwise it was a very good experience food-wise and the bartender was working by himself for the majority of the time we were there and he did an excellent job!

    Popped in this afternoon to check out the ping pong table. We were planning on bringing a group in next week to celebrate a birthday with some ping pong, food, and drinks. Boy am I glad we stopped in first. We were completely ignored. The bartender wasn't even busy. We sat there patiently... after about 15 minutes it started to feel awkward so we walked. I mean, we were five feet away from the bartender. It was clear we weren't welcome there. I worked in the industry for 20 years, so I am a great tipper. So it's their loss I guess. Super weird way to run a business.

    Good atmosphere. There's live bands, pool table, dart board, golf simulation and other fun adult games.

    Stopped in with 4 guys just for drinks at this dive bar, don't take this as an insult it is what it is and that's what I like about it that's the intent of how it is designed to be. It's like walking into an old Detroit bar I grew up into enjoying many years ago. Dive bars always have great friendly service as this on did.

    Excellent dive bar, lively and fun, but the people playing ping pong are satan’s spawn and I’m so tired of them running into people or hitting their ball into a group. Good lord get rid of the table, please for the love of Christ.

    Good little bar! It always has a nice atmosphere. They have a pool table, and you can even play Ping pong when they don't have a band on stage. Unfortunately, there's just not a ton of space.

    First time here. Langston was an absolute blast. He had a full bar and still found time to entertain us with magic tricks. Such a peach! Will definitely be back to see him soon!

    Did not catch the name of the new bartender on 2/10 morning shift but we had such a fun time with him. Games, magic and drinks made such a fun Saturday morning! Literally canceled our brunch reservation to hang more. Give this man a raise 🙌🏻
