    What's a double deuce shot?  Vodka and things.
    Andrew P.

    Another one of those neighborhood bars where everyone seems to know each other and they're super friendly. It's a bit far from home, but I met up with a friend who had business in the area. One half of the place is the bar and several tables, while the other is more tables and a dance floor. A DJ was playing some old school jams on that side. When I ran to the bathroom, I passed by a table that had a big tub full of decks of cards. There was indeed a table of people playing card games, but I just assumed they brought their own. I've been to bars with pool tables and darts... but countless decks of cards, heck yeah! Admittedly though, the crowd made me feel like I was way too young for the place. It was definitely mostly folks in their 40s and up. I didn't get any food... there's not too much to choose from, but I get the feeling it tastes very good. I'll be trying food next time, along with figuring out what their schedule is... do they have a DJ every night? Is there ever karaoke? Live bands? Time well tell, but for now let me tell you about their drinks: GOOD STUFF! I got a rum & pineapple juice and tried a double deuce shot, which is vodka mixed with some other things. First impressions of the place were great, I will definitely return when i'm in the area. Oh, and IT'S BLACK-OWNED, YAY!

    I love the food and the atmosphere. On any given day you can walk in on a few card games, hand dancing and karaoke. The patrons and staff treat you like a cousin they haven't seen in years. Pull up a chair be respectful and enjoy ANY of the items on the menu. They have some of THE BEST cooks and the bartenders all know how to pour a good drink. Destress, relax listen to some good music, eat and be happy.

    Looking for a quaint bar atmosphere with great music, a dance floor and good food? I would suggest The Bottom Line. I think this place hands down have some of the best fried chicken and drink prices. Each week they do karaoke and sometime you can catch a live band playing there. Always accommodating and friendly staff to assist you. If you're in Clinton Maryland, I would recommend you stop by this establishment.

    You've gotta appreciate places like this, they're apart of our culture. This black owned bar, has everything you need. Great libations, Karaoke machine, dance floor, cards and of course great drinks. Yvonne is a great bar tender and caters to each of her customers daily! The Food? Soul food... authentic soul food and at great prices. Visit and let them know Cynthia's daughter sent you.

    A decade later, and they are still around! There was a time when they were at risk for closing, but…read morehere they are. I went Sunday night to spend some time with friends who were in town for an event. I was certain that it was going to be packed in there, but it wasn't! I was able to grab a drink and get something that my nearby friend always takes pics of and makes me jealous: the fried wings... AKA the crack wings. They are still delicious! And they came out quickly. It doesn't look like they do karaoke anymore, but I'm glad to see they still do free pool on Wednesdays. I have heard from others how packed and slow it can get at peak times, but I am happy this wasn't that occasion. Hope they continue to do well. Also, I remember the building being white outside. It's blue now!

    I stopped here on a Saturday night for the first time and the place was overcrowded and extremely…read morehot. The smell of old chicken grease filled the entire parking lot. This place had to be over the capacity as there was no moving space inside. The door was being held wide opened by a rock, I guess it was to give ventilation, which didn't help much at all. The bartenders are very very rude here (one in particular)they ignored customers, even refused to look up when a customer tries to get their attention. I've never seen bartenders be so rude. Also, there were only 2 bartenders working and AT LEAST 100 people present. The music was super loud and the sour smell at the bar was unbearable!!! I could not stay here long due to the heat and smell. This place has no security whatsoever, which seems a bit strange for the amount of people that were present. This spot is out of control.I seen people walking out of the door with drinks, even saw someone hit a car in the parking lot and pull off, this was my first and last visit.

    I saw a recent IG review of this place, that was labeled as a laid back, neighborhood restaurant,…read morewhich had good crabs, and food in general. It did not disappoint. They have daily specialist, which I didn't get a chance to take a picture of because they were on a screen that rotated different events a little too quickly for me to capture a picture. I ordered Large male crabs that were $80/dozen, cabbage, whiting and fries. Everything was season well, the crabs were meaty and heavy. The service was really accommodating, and the food came out quickly. A tiki bar set in the rear yard area. It seems like it would be nice for a sub 100° day, but it was entirely too warm. The bartenders told me that they have live music and comedy shows there at times. Only point of improvement is that they make mallets or crab crackers available. I would definitely recommend.

BUT after seeing those fly traps hanging above the bar FULL of dead flies, I was absolutely disgusted. Like...who wants to sit there eating and drinking while dead flies are hanging above them?! That is just nasty and completely takes away from the experience. I really hope management addresses this because y'all gotta do better. The establishment can have great food and good vibes, but cleanliness should NEVER be compromised. ‍
