    Clean, laidback spot with excellent service from the bartender. There's pool tables, darts, and a small couch lounge area as well. Not sure why it's rated so low

    Super cool dive bar! Cheap well drinks, friendly locals, and two pool tables. The waitress was very friendly as well!

    Meggan is such a great bartender! I've frequented where she works for a very long time. It's definitely worth the drive from the East Bay!

    full bar, with a lot of choices. I really love the decor and cleanliness. There are pool tables, a jukebox, and aquariums.
