We had originally stopped in to Goodnight John Boy across the street and didn't have a good time,…read moreso we walked over here. It was a much quieter atmosphere with reasonably priced drinks. The parking lot is a little strange- quite a bit of broken glass scattered around and a full sized dumpster right in front of the entrance. But I suppose this adds to the dive bar vibe. The bar staff were attentive and helpful and we each had one drink before continuing on to the next spot. I think that this is a nice, almost hidden, spot off the main street to stop in for a drink and recharge from the craziness of some of the other bars. The ceiling is also really fun and has a lot of beer taps mounted on it.

When you're there, you're able to just be there and enjoy the people, drinks and jukebox music to your heart's delight. It's pretty wonderful. The bartenders have always been incredibly friendly and helpful, and they are always willing to help me decide on what to get. Additionally, they have great happy hour deals, and their draught selection is changing regularly. I wish I lived a bit closer, but otherwise I'm all thumbs up!

I've witnessed very young/underage girls being allowed to drink, people getting completely blackout drunk, and male staff walking visibly intoxicated women to their cars and then allowing them to drive away. If you're comfortable watching someone who can barely stand get into a car and drive away, that says a lot about the establishment. And the fights? Oh well that's just part of the entertainment. It seems like there's always some kind of argument, altercation, or drama going on. If you're looking for a relaxing night out, good luck. The customer service isn't much better. The staff can be incredibly passive aggressive, especially toward people who aren't regulars. You can stand at the counter for 20 minutes waiting to be acknowledged while employees act like serving customers is an enormous inconvenience. Apparently being a new customer is enough to earn you the silent treatment package. The funniest part is that this place seems to have a very, very loyal crowd, so maybe if you've been coming here forever you get treated differently. But if you're not part of the regular crowd, don't expect much. There are plenty of bars where you can get a drink without waiting forever and be treated respectfully.

We came to the bar early that night as we were the second group of people at the bar not working there...but more people came as the night came on.

Not sure what else to say about this place but its a good choice if your near the convention center.

Mainly beer and some mixed drinks, but it was $2 beer when I went. We went on a Thursday and let me give you a heads up now that Thursdays are "Thong Thursdays." The bartender did not have any pants on and was wearing a thong. The places was crowded. There are decently clean bathrooms. There is also a pool table which costs either $0.50 or $1.00. They have touch tunes, but it wasn't operating that night. There are also TVs around the bar for sports games. Will probably come back!
