Restaurant Bar Pub

😠 Went in for a beer a few weeks ago but needed to use the bathroom when I first arrived. When I walked out of the bathroom I was greater by ALOT of dirty looks by staff and regulars. Didn't feel very welcome. People often mention time, friendly, bartender, Great,

    Truly an awesome local bar, reminded me of Cheers where everyone knew your name, While everyone else was shopping My son and I decided to spend some time here. The regulars were friendly and fantastic and even let us play a game of pool. The Bartender Kristen was amazing, friendly and had a warm smile for everyone. We don't live in the area but if we are ever back we will return here. Thanks Everyone

    It was really 'home' feeling. It seemed everyone in there was a regular and made us feel super welcome, the bartender was really sweet too. They have a birthday paddle and if you get smacked with it they give you a free shot so that's a thing! Pool table and juke box.

    Hit or miss with the bartenders, poll table has terrible beige cloth but plenty of room for it. Wings are excellent... Worth going just for them

    First time there. Went by myself, walked in, and was served before the regular who walked in just before me. Of course the regulars are going to look to see who just walked into their house. I ordered a beer and became buddies with each one in there. Hospitality is my life and the bartender made me feel welcome. It also helps being social. A regular ended up buying us all a shot, including me, the new person no one knew. It's exactly what you expect, dive bar vibes family feel. Will be back! Thanks for making a stressful restaurant shift at work turn into a relaxing post shift drink!

    Surprised by the high ratings. I’ve been here a couple of times when my fav karaoke spot is closed. Each time I noticed the increasing attitude by bartender, she doesn’t handle her liquor well. Very unprofessional and borderline rude. I worked in customer service for years and love to lighten the mood/have fun with people but there is a line. When you’re swearing and yelling at your customers, it’s awkward and uncomfortable.

    Fantastic atmosphere. Immediately felt welcome. Service by Leeanne was just on point and fun. Def worth checking out. Was there for Monday Karaoke.

    Lee Anne (I hope that's right) has been a blast the past 5 mondays I've gone for karaoke. This place is it! I've never felt more comfortable having drinks with friends. These guys nailed it. Just come!

    The food options are nil, but a good selection of food and some pool with friends makes up for it.

    Always a great "local" small pub. Friendly staff and locals so I never feel unwelcome there.

    A very terrible little bar that has no regard for the local community. There is no reason for a house that is blocks and blocks away to hear your obnoxiously loud bands playing at 1 am. Edit reply to owner: My neighbour and I actually came by last night while we were trying to figure out who was keeping our children, my very pregnant wife, and our surrounding neighbours’ children awake all night. Believe it or not, your community consists of more than just your “enthusiastic” regulars.
