Tiny little place. Open mic night Wednesdays, board had decent food prices and free popcorn. Live music when we were there on a Saturday. Drink prices however omgosh, sticker shock!! Dog friendly I believe. Outback patio. Friendly and happy go lucky bartenders.

Met a girlfriend for drinks around 8p on a Sunday. The bar was clean & friendly. It's a mostly younger crowd, but they made us older ladies welcome.
My well bourbon & water was $5. The bartender warned me that the well vodka probably wouldn't suit which I appreciated. All you can eat wings (gratis) were tasty- I had the spicy, but they have BBQ & teriyaki. Popcorn was fresh. And there are games. Pool & animal jenga (my description- it involves stacking different dinosaur figures). Who doesn't love 🦕 ?

It is a nice bar with a great outdoor area. They have two ping pong tables and a pool table. Can't wait for summer night on that back patio the way they have it all light up.
