I like how they rotate burger and pizza of the month too. Their frickin' chicken sandwich is a monster and I typically split with my wife. Lastly, they have a cool mug club membership which gets you a nice 20 oz mug, tee shirt, your name and saying on the wall, and invitation to a mug club only party during the summer. I love this bar

It was refreshing to peruse an interesting small plates menu which we would definitely go back to try on a future visit. There is also a traditional menu as well as a special menu on weekends prepared by a guest chef featuring international cuisine. We tried the "Thai Night" menu and especially enjoyed the vegetarian potstickers in a delicious Thai sauce and the noodle salad with shrimp. The flavors were layered, with a delicate creamy texture and just the right amount of spice. There is a parking lot on site and reservations are a must on weekends, although an early arrival might get you a nice spot at the bar!

Ok- this bar is NOT for everyone. It is a very very old timey type bar. It is smoking (and they…read moreallow cigars too). Everyone knows one another. They are very welcoming to new faces. Nothing is on tap- even the soda comes out of a two liter and beers come from cans and bottles. There is no signature cocktail list. Thai is the place for a shot and a beer- or like me- Bacardi and coke. There is a REAL jukebox- not one of those virtual boxes. Good old school rock and roll. Now some of you will not like this place- but I enjoyed it completely - service was fast and efficient. Folks were friendly and the drinks were reasonably priced. So if you are looking for a bar- with an old school vibe- good drinks where you can enjoy a cigarette or cigar without someone judging you, and friendly employees and customers- that's what you'll find here.

I've lived in the area my whole life and just started visiting the Oasis…read more Let's start with the best part, the service! The ladies that work here usually get to know you pretty well! Your second visit they will ask if you want the same thing you had last time. To be fair, there's one young bartender that sits on her phone more than she works. But, I've been told you'll have that. She's nice but you find yourself waiting longer than you should for service. The food is hands down awesome! You wouldn't think it would be anything crazy but it's consistent and good every time we go in. My friends love the wraps, burgers and I'm a fan of really anything I've had there. The wait for the food isn't bad when you consider they have one person on staff that tends the bar, tables and food. Yes, it's a lot of fried foods, but the lettuce, tomatoes and other items are fresh! As far as the feel, or "ambiance"... it's a bar. It's an awesome small town bar feel where everyone that stops in probably knows one another. Everyone is friendly to one another and those from out of town are always welcomed. Stop in and give it a try.

She smiled and shared many laughs with us. She was very knowledgeable about the place, background, food and drinks. I love love love that it's nonsmoking!! They are family friendly so next time we will bring our little ones. I'm not sure which days are what or when but they have a dj, karaoke, and line dancing. On each table they have a game you can play like scramble, tic tac toe, etc... Food and drinks were good. We had pizza and nachos. Nachos were smaller than expected. Definitely not shareable lol.. anyway nothing to really brag about there but the prices are pretty decent. I enjoyed myself so much talking with Keri and my husbae and playing games, that I kept forgetting to take pictures. I have a few to share. Come on out for date night, girls/guy night out or bring the whole crew out! I definitely recommend this place. And if you see Keri tell her I sent you!

From the moment…read morewe arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our group feel welcome and ensure everything ran smoothly. Having a private room made the evening feel so special, and the team was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire planning process. They were attentive to our dietary needs and worked with us to make sure everyone had delicious options and felt included. We also had some trouble connecting to the room's speaker to play our music, and the staff was so patient and determined to help. They took the time to troubleshoot the issue with us until everything was working because they genuinely wanted us to have the best night celebrating my sister. That extra level of care and hospitality meant so much and made the evening even more memorable. The food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special occasion. We highly recommend this restaurant for anyone planning a private event or celebration. Thank you for helping make my sister's bachelorette dinner so special!

I do understand that they serve specialty cocktails, so maybe that's why everything took so long and we were in a large group. However, when my drink was empty, the server took orders of the people sitting next to me at my table and then walked away without asking me if I wanted anything. I had to flag her down later for another drink, which I usually feel rude for doing. Overall, it just felt like the servers weren't very attentive, but the drinks were good and the people that had food liked it so I would come back!
