I'll be surprised if the fire commissioner allows crowds of over 75 in that place. And I say that as a former firefighter, it's not a very big place. It is a cash only bar, which can get annoying because if you don't tip after every order, you'd be ignored the next time you want to order. No elbow room at the bar. The stools are very close together. I could see myself going back there, maybe in the daytime when it's slow, but I definitely wouldn't go on a Friday or Saturday night when everyone is out bar hopping

First visit here. Tried their naked chicken wings. An order came with 6 pieces. The chicken was not…read moreoily at all kind of broiled maybe. The food came out hot and fresh. You get a couple of sauce choices per wing order. I got the sweet chili and the bbq. I prefer the sweet chili more than the bbq. The bbq sauce is pretty much the sweet baby ray. The sweet chili sauce tasted as if grocery bought - probably is. Not bad. Service was nice. Dinged a star since i dont think the wings sauces were special and for 6 pieces of wings, $10 is pretty hefty in my opinion. The wings sizes are decent though. The food is good. Just wasnt something special where I would get it again over and over. This is a sports bar so it may get a little loud. It was not bad when i was there. It looks small on the outside but its decent size. I like how the place is very organized and clean. No sticky residues under your seats or tables. Tip: i heard the pizzas are great. I may try that next.

"Stupid beer" is the mass-marketed domestic, watery, flavorless crap most often offered at nearly every other blasted bar. Oh, no; If I want a super-hopped IPA, I can get it. An oatmeal stout? NO PROBLEM. Perhaps a porter, or maybe a craft brew? They have it. It is a beer oasis in a sea of swill.
