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.]

I ordered the wings with the sauce on the side, because I'm from Texas, and I don't always like sauce in other states. I loved both sauces and the ranch was good also. I had the Shamba special sauce (sweet spicy with a hint of clove) and buffalo (creamy buffalo). The wings are naked double fried and worth the try. My preference is breaded wings, but I absolutely enjoy these. The service was excellent! Alex was my bartender and very friendly and upbeat which I love. The ambience was on point for the local place and I also enjoyed the music on the Online jukebox box.

The bartender was very nice. I ordered an amaretto sour, which didn't much taste like an amaretto sour; more like watered down Kool-Aid with a touch of sour. I'm sure it's much better if you're ordering whiskey or a beer. I would give it another try and just order something different next time. I didn't take indoor pics since there were so many people and I try to honor privacy. ;)

I was unsure if this was allowed but nothing was said upon entrance so I thought it was okay. not even five minutes into being there we were aggressively told to dump out our drinks so I go ahead and do so immediately. We went towards the bar a few minutes later to order a drink and to play pool afterwards. before we could say or do anything the bartender yelled at us to order something and accused us of things. very alienating and rude I would not go here if you don't like to be treated poorly.

It's cash only so be aware of that, but the drinks are also really cheap so a $20 will go a long way. We were there on a weeknight so I don't know how service handles on busy nights, but it was perfectly good for us. Lots of regulars to this neighborhood staple. Biggest issue is the bathroom, which does not lock so is... not ideal.

This was my first time visiting on a Friday night, and I had a great time. The music was grown and sexy, the vibes matched, and everyone was enjoying themselves. When certain songs came on, it turned into a fun karaoke session, which made the atmosphere even better. The bartender was friendly, made me a custom mocktail, and it didn't cost $10, which I definitely appreciated. I sat outside and loved the setup. There's seating inside too, but the outdoor space is the hang out. The only thing missing was having the fire pits lit.
