It was a super strong vodka-based drink with a splash of seltzer. It was an absolutely perfect low-sugar option for someone. We also got some mozzarella sticks and tots. Both were solid starter options. Since they were on a limited menu due to the festival, that's all we got. They don't have many vegetarian-friendly options anyways, so it was all good by me. They could work on their TV and table placement during sporting events, but we made it work. Overall, this is a good college bar where the vibes are positive!

Beer choices are big domestic, big import with one "craft" tap. As a beer nerd, I'd like to see more craft. We popped in around 2pm on a Saturday. We were the only patrons at a table. The bar was occupied by six people. Amanda was our server. She could not have been more friendly and attentive. I had the fried flounder with the "side" salad. The salad was great. Everything was crisp and tasty. The dressing was a preportioned ramekin. The flounder was excellent. It was perfectly fried, crisp, and well seasoned with no excess grease. The wife had the bacon and egg burger and the side salad. The burger was juicy and tasty. By the time we left, there were about six tables seated. Looks like there are a lot of locals here and they seem to be very friendly people. The flounder pic below is an attempt to show it after I was two thirds through it. We will definitely be back.

We first came in and he gave him and hard time about getting a drink because he thought he was "acting weird", we explained that he was autistic and he understood and proceeded to let him get his drink. Later on, 30 mins later, he goes to get another drink and is refused a drink and is made fun of by the bartender and mimicked and said I'm not serving an "autistic fuck". 2 men that seem to be keen with the bartender are tagging along and making disabled noises, mocking our friend in the bar. We came in of a party of 20. Celebrating a birthday and regulars of this bar. I will NEVER be back here. This management should be ashamed.

The food is subpar but the drinks and karaoke vibes are guaranteed fun.

The bathrooms need better maintenance and the service is okay. Overall, great karaoke joint with pretty good variety of folks joining in on the fun.
