Employees truly make or break a business, and the staff here actually cares about the customer experience. That's what makes places like this last. Great drinks, a good rotation on draft, and the apps are must-haves--croquetas and fried plantains are our go-to every time. Beyond pool, they've got shuffleboard and darts, which makes this the perfect spot when other places are packed. They're always finding ways to hype the atmosphere too, whether it's bringing in a DJ or hosting tournaments. Definitely a go-to spot when you want good vibes, good food, and solid service.

Notable things: Bonus points for a having a free parking lot (and easy street parking) It's cash only Good vibes. Very eclectic mix of people (especially because it was weekend before Halloween so the costumes were entertaining). A+ for never feeling creeped out by any of the patrons. They were all very supportive of people singing and gave us tips about how to search for songs on the app if we wanted to do that instead of look through the book. The karaoke seems to be first come first served, so we got there a little after 10 and no one from our group sang until 2am (from what I heard the next day. I tapped out at 1:30am). The same handful of people kept singing every few songs, so they must have all gotten there early and put in like 20 songs each. There were also a lot of repeats (I heard "What's Up?" by 4NB 4 times in the first hour I was there). It would be nice if the KJ bumped newer people up sooner before circling back to people who had already sung like 7 times, and if they pushed back song repeats, but in the end we're all just there for a good time and everyone sings along to everything, so it's fine. They card everyone and do scrutinize closely, which is good. One younger-looking girl in our group had to pull back her hair to prove it was her in her photo because her license photo had her hair slicked back. Food was decent. I didn't drink anything but the people I was with seemed happy with their drinks/they kept ordering more. They have video slots. One person in our group won $60 and one person lost $10 in 30 seconds, so it's hit or miss lol. I didn't go to the bathroom while I was there so I can't speak to cleanliness that other reviewers have mentioned. They're open to 4am, which is awesome. I tapped out at 1:30 because I'm old now, but if I was in my 20s I'd love the 4am thing. I'd go back with a group again.

I was quite impressed. Of course it's your typical neighborhood dive bar, a vintage one at that, with all the sights and smells that a neighborhood dive bar has. When you first enter through the door, you have the main bar. Towards the back and to the right is the private room where parties can be hosted. It contains another small bar inside, with a pool table and a basketball game. Very spacious and plenty of seating available. It's not my typical bar scene but will definitely come back if another event arises.
