    Randomly came here on a Tuesday night and got lucky it was Emo Nite. Very chill vibes, everyone kept to themselves. The restrooms were clean but needed some toiletries. Did not go to the bar so I can't speak on bartending service. The DJ working on October 10th was amazing! (Sadly did not get his name) Lovely energy, very nice, playing request, and constantly shouting out the birthday girl in the group!

    Wasn't impressed at all. The place looks terrible and junky. Smells kinda bad too. Plus, it was nothing but dudes trying to play pool. Lame.

    They make a nice White Russian and the prices aren't bad. The Jukebox also has a nice selection of 50's-70's music. So uh...yeah.

I think it's like pineapple juice and two choices of rum. Tasted amazing. The two bartenders are nice, very conversational. I can see why they get regular bar attendees. This bar isn't bad. I will definitely come back if I'm looking for a local buzz. Maybe get a buzz here and walk to the movie theater.

We even got dressed up because the vibe online felt fancy and elevated. Unfortunately, the experience was very different in person. The space is extremely small and overcrowded, to the point where you can barely move, let alone order a drink. We squeezed our way toward the back just to find a little breathing room, but it was constant "excuse me" in every direction. With how packed it was, the bartenders seemed to be moving at a slow pace with little sense of urgency, which made getting to the bar nearly impossible. After waiting about 10 minutes without being able to place an order, we ended up leaving. It was disappointing, especially after driving out excited to try the drinks we saw online. The photos make the space feel much bigger and more relaxed than it actually is, which created a very different expectation. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype and first impressions fell flat.

You still have to do the long, narrow walk past the bar like you're entering a low-budget runway show, and there's a single pool table holding court in the back. I've been there when it's empty enough to hijack the TouchTunes from my phone, and I've been there when it's so packed you're basically making new friends whether you planned to or not. The crowd runs 23 to 73, but it leans Millennial/Gen X in the most comfortable way possible. Music is gloriously chaotic. Friday DJs spinning Zapp & Roger and funky dance vibes one minute, then System of a Down or The Smiths on another night. Emotional range. But the one constant is The drinks are always strong. Not craft cocktail precious. Strong. The bartenders are heavy-handed and the prices are shockingly reasonable, which means two or three drinks here will absolutely set the tone for your evening. You've been warned. It's an easy yes whether you're popping in for one drink or accidentally staying all night.

It was a Sunday morning and there were only about 10 people in the bar, and most of us were watching football on one of the many TVs around the bar. Liz was bartending and made some fantastic Bloody Mary's, as well as an intoxicating "Big Stick" cocktail that took me back to the Caribbean. There's an e-cocktail menu board behind the bar that goes through pictures of their offerings. Drink prices are very reasonable. They don't serve food, but you're welcome to bring something in or have it delivered. Plenty of parking is available on street, or in a city lot, but there are several restaurants/bars and other businesses in the immediate area.

The place is smallish, has one pool table, a couple TVs, but no draught beer, food, or Happy Hour. They do offer karaoke on Wednesdays and either Fridays or Sundays (can't recall) and the crowd was thrilled to be belting out their favorite tunes. Parking is available in front, in back, and on street. NOTE: They do allow smoking inside. There's a good selection of bottle beers, but nothing on tap. Of course, you can get shots and simple cocktails, but they didn't have the ingredients to make an Old Fashioned or Manhattan. Drink prices were very reasonable ($13 for a Malibu & Coke and a Mudslide). We asked about food and were told that on occasion one of the women working there will bring something in or fire up a grill, but it's not a regular thing. Overall, it's a fun neighborhood bar with friendly service, and an intimate place to gather, hang out, and meet/make new friends. We'll be back.
