Ortmanns is a fun place to have a few cocktails. It is usually quite crowded on the weekends and…read morehas a friendly group of staff who are attentive. They have nearly any drink you desire and lots of beer choices. The inside is cozy and comfortable. What's really cool is their outside patio area. It's a heated and covered tent like area. In the back patio, there's a bunch of seating to accommodate the masses. They do have bands on occasion. There was a bonfire lit up last night and it is a cool place. They do allow dogs in the back outside seating area and are usually busy. Additionally, they do have a handful of the video gaming machines if you like to gamble. Ortmanns is a place to hang out, relax and to just have fun. We go there quite often.

Not sure if that's the usual uniform or not, but he was friendly, showed us a few things, and it all worked out great for us. There's a small deposit to reserve your spot and you just pay the rest when you leave, which was easy. Just a heads up--it gets pretty warm inside, so definitely dress light because the AC isn't very strong. We were a little late and he still gave us some extra time, which we really appreciated. Overall, my boyfriend and I had a fun experience and would come back again.

The prices are good especially on shots. Came in for a capper. It was getting late but we needed a few. There was a good special on shots. It was $3 for certain ones. We got a few of these. BSB was a whiskey I never had. Turns out it was good shit. Knocked a few back. The bar got a crowd but it wasn't too busy on a night. Good place to get some cheap booze. It's a popular place for locals to hang out. The selection is kind of limited but makes up for good prices.

Parking can be a bit tough if you are not familiar with the area. Matt's is a dive bar vibe with enough TV's to keep you entertained by the game. Worn but kept pretty clean!! No kitchen . Only a couple of gambling machines. The patrons were mixed between locals and people waiting for the train across the street- everyone was friendly. Kelly O the bartender did a fantastic job. The big win that impressed me was a big crowd came in and the owner jumped in and helped unlike most places where they let the bartender drown and the customers suffer. Great job Matt's and Kelly O

What an incredibly stand up guy!! Our son & his Dad had a FANTASTIC experience! Our family highly recommends Twisted Limits Axe Throwing! This would be a great idea for birthdays, family gatherings, guys/girls nights out and/or work team building activities. There are 12 interactive throwing lanes, a big screen TV, a small bar area and a plenty of high top seating for everyone. The interior is super cool & comfy. Take it from me...Make the trip here, you won't be disappointed!!

The popcorn was fantastic. This is a definite repeat. They had some beverages to drink. Worth the time to check it out

Cool I guess to be giving away free food, but it looked like it had been sitting there all day and didn't seem very sanitary... Plus wouldn't you wanna sell your own food? *Shrug* There were also small puppies running around off-leash in the fenced-in outdoor patio area, also cool they were allowing this, but I've never seen anyone bring their dog to a bar before, especially small puppies. To each their own I suppose, just seemed odd... it's a small little dive bar and they do have karaoke... I guess it's cool enough for the locals, but definitely not worth going out of your way for.

It's dark inside and sunny outside in that it has a nice outside area to sit at high tops or picnic tables, Which is where most people were when we were there. The bartender was there to provide quick service as there were only a few people inside, with most outside since it was so nice out. Can't really talk too much about anything other than the atmosphere. Like most local bars there were people there that were a comfortable, having been there a while, if you know what I mean. But the beer on tap was good and cold. A good place to enjoy the weather outside in summer and a beer or two inside in the winter.
