    this bar!!! every bartender gives great service...and are very considerate. Safety first is their motto.... and the safety of others, no matter their race or gender. always a great, fun experience here.

    All men in here but not gay. Listening to boys in the hood in a bar full of man is not my vibe . I can tell that they did some revamping to place. I just walked in and walked right out no thank you.

    The atmosphere is great. Staff are amazing and very attentive. Everybody knows everyone. A home an away from home. If you're old school you'll know about the tv show Cheer. Great bartenders.

    We've been coming here since its Plan Check days and stayed loyal after it became Liberties. It's…read moreconsistently been a great spot, strong drinks, a solid beer and liquor selection, and food that always delivers (the burgers, fries, and pizza are all standouts). The bartenders are friendly, attentive, and genuinely on top of things, which is a big reason we've kept coming back. Over time, we've even met some of the owners, and the place has always felt welcoming and well-run, even through ownership changes. That's why this last visit stood out and not in a good way. The bar was packed for the basketball games, and the staff was clearly hustling. Honestly, they could've used more support behind the bar for a crowd like that. Instead, one of the partners seemed to take on the role of... social host. He made sure people knew who he was, but didn't actually step in to help where it mattered. We've seen other partners jump behind the bar or run food when things get busy, so the contrast here was hard to miss. At times, it felt less like leadership and more like a running announcement tour. Meanwhile, the team that was actually working kept pushing through a packed house. The vibe took another hit with the TVs. With so many screens already locked on basketball, it didn't seem like a big ask to change just one on baseball. One of the bartenders even put it on, but a few minutes later, after a guest played into Mr. Big Shot's ego, he went and changed it right back. Just unnecessary, and honestly felt a little performative. We still like this place and really appreciate the staff who show up and do the work. But that interaction definitely left a different impression than what we've come to expect here.

I…read morepersonally don't like hanging out so close to home, i like escaping the city and changing the air and atmosphere. I'm a beer guy so I most def found it funny that beer on Draft or bottle are the same price. That doesn't make sense, but whatever i just go with draft. The place is small and dimmy but does the job. Def bring a +1 to stay entertained. Goodluck chit chatting though, they always have the music on so LOUD. I really don't get the hype nor like places with excessively loud music. It's so loud that even the bartenders can't hear a word your saying. It gets annoying having to repeat yourself and yell back. The pool tables are what really draw me back. I'm always able to catch a game, however some ppl do hog them and/or chit-chat instead of playing. I do like that they have several security guards, that does make me feel safe! Thank you. For the most part, I havent had any issues there or have seen anything pop off. But as someone else mentioned, the local are pretty cocky and snobby so just try to mind your own. Parking isn't the biggest but we always seem to get a spot. I have yet to find another bar in the area that is worth going to. Im the type to make the drive, but they are worth it when you wanna keep it local and stay safe! Thanks! Cheers
