Came here to see my favorite band Mercury Rising! They were amazing as always and draw a nice sized crowd. Bar is very reasonably priced. Good service!

Man this place is awesome! Atmosphere is great food is amazing and the locals are so welcoming. Drinks and food prices are perfect. They even have an outside patio with games that are a good time. I highly recommend. It’s a place that makes you feel at home. I ordered the Reuben and it was amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Cash bar only but they have an ATM and it I’m your charges 1.75

We had such a nice time here. What a surprise that we coincidentally showed up on a Wednesday night at 9 PM right when they were having a band. The atmosphere was great. The service was fantastic and the food was delicious. We had the grilled cheese with French onion soup And it tasted so good.

Amazing people, Amazing vibe. I'd spend all my downtime here with the kick ass patrons who've become friends.

Went here after a long long bike ride with my friends. The service was amazing and everyone was so friendly. The food was delicious. Especially love the touch of pasta salad and the way it was spiced. Incredible french fries. They gave me an extra pickle for my burger. Additionally, they put on a fresh pot of coffee for us! It was nice to see the Mets game on the screen, even though they lost. I wonder what team this institution roots for.

Lively place on a Thursday!! Definitely a local spot but everyone was nice, service was good. Got mozzarella sticks, cheeseburger and blt. Food was better than expected for a dive bat, I REALLY like the burger it was cooked well and was good quality. The drink was nice and STIFF (just how I like it) Best part of the night was Elvis!!! What a nice surprise and it was fun to watch him sing and dance. Attaching a calendar as they seem to have events almost every night.

The ladies inside were so pleasant and sweet. We didn't have the food but customer service is top notch! Highly recommend and the bathrooms were very clean.

I loved the ambience, staff were very friendly and attentive. The music / chareoke very entertaining. The food was very good. The Halloween party was amazing enjoyed every minute with our friends Our friend won best costume Lady Liberty .
