Never saw anything like it before. My husband got classic burger and enjoyed it. They have a place to sit outside which would be nice in cooler weather.

Not many places to go and if I lived in the area I would consider this a neighborhood spot. They have a touch tunes jukebox and two dartboards.

After seeing a show at Riverbend, we stopped in here as it was a) open, and b) close to our hotel…read more We had to pay a $5 cover charge (each) because there was a country band playing in the back room. We found 2 seats at the bar, and a young lady wearing a bucket hat waited on us. I asked if the kitchen was still open (it was around 11 pm on Sat.) and she said yes. I ordered the fish & chips, with a bottle of Kentucky Bourbon Ale. Boyf ordered a pour of bourbon, and a burger. My entree look fine but was missing the cole slaw. I asked for it, and there was some confusion whether is came with or not. The other bartender may have been new, but bucket hat girl it did and I got a pretty large side of it. Everything tasted good, and I wouldn't hesitate to come back if in the area again.

There are a few gals who know how to serve, but not sure they all know to work together like a team. The manager is trying hard to fill in the gaps, and is so helpful. She got our drinks after about 10 min of us sitting at a table. The ambience is loud, crazy and overstimulating. The music alternated between a TV music video station, the jukebox and a live band with 2 of them competing at times. I liked the band and appreciated the music. I wish they would turn off the jukebox. There is A LOT going on with Keno, 10+ TVs that I could see, beer posters and ads everywhere. Tables low tops, high tops, bar chatter, cold breezes from the outside door with freezing temps, and just seems like a place that echos every sound. I can tune it all out, but some may not. Is it a sports bar, gambling bar, local watering hole, dive bar restaurant, outdoor lovely lounge with cool fire pit, or live music stop? Yup all of them!

After finding some questionable street parking - there was a carpet of broken glass from a breakin nearby - I stepped inside. This place is... unusual. I've never been to a joint with a two-level bar which was interesting. At 5pm on a weekday, the vibe was peaceful and light. A few UC girls popped in for shots and got carded. A bunch of locals were hanging out. I simply enjoyed my PBR and the show. [Review 20486 overall - 213 in Ohio - 1466 of 2023.]
