You can tell the place is not well ventilated because as soon as we walked in we could smell smoke. Not hookah smoke, cigarette smoke.

Honestly, the place just gave me an icky feeling and I was instantly put off of the possibility of even getting food there.

They have a full bar (cash only), at least 12 dart boards, a few pool tables, tasty bar eats and one of the cheapest internet jukeboxes I've seen (no extra charge for searching/downloading!). I far prefer the non-internet boxes, but I appreciate the low price. The bartenders are really friendly as are the patrons. It was really cool to have someone approach me to introduce themselves (one of the bartenders who was off duty) and ask my name (in a genuinely friendly manner).

We just finished up at the Catbird Seat and Ashley had called next door to see if they could seat us at the Patterson House. As it turns out they could, and they were ready for us when we made our way across the hall. They gave us a choice of where we'd like to sit, and there were two chairs at the end looking out of the windows at skyline of the city. What better way to end a lovely evening with a lovely lady, but with a lovely view and some fantastic drinks? Holland, like the country, greeted us and set us up for the evening. Holland brought great energy, and was super welcoming. They even offered us drinks on the house for the engagement. Totally unexpected, and that just meant we had to have more than one round to make sure that we could appropriately tip and show our appreciation for the amazing hospitality! The drinks were great. I tend to gravitate towards the less sweet. The Japanese Anchorage scratched that elitch very well being boozy forward, with hints of flavors. She had the Late Summer Margarita, refreshing and sweeter. We shared the Thai Tea Banana Colada. Definitely the sweeter side, but couldn't pass up the opportunity. Very good, a little sweeter and a little heavier than I'd normally prefer. It met both of our preferences right in the middle. Compromise, right? Great experience, and would absolutely come back when in town!

I'm a little biased but this place has been one of my favorites for 11 years! It's been around for 27 years! It has something for everybody! Corn hole, darts, volleyball, poker, pool, golden tee, great food and booze! It's great for large groups but try and give them a little notice if you can! It's 21 and up because they still allow smoking so no kids. It's a great little dive bar! read more

The…read morespace is incredibly roomy, and they have TV screens everywhere you look, so you won't miss a single play. The food was excellent across the board, but the wings were definitely a standout--absolutely awesome. What truly made our experience great, though, was the service. A special thank you to Nash (love the name--named after the city, just cut short!) for taking such wonderful care of us. Follow me on Instagram - @thecannyadventurist for a deeper dive into my reviews.

I went specifically to watch the Steelers game, and I was really disappointed with the experience…read more I thought this used to be a Steelers bar?, so I was surprised by how poorly they accommodated the number of Steelers fans there. The front room was packed, so I went to the back bar, which was completely empty when I arrived. I sat down in my Steelers jersey, and the bartender put a drink menu directly over the crumbs and mess left from the previous customer without wiping down the bar. She also never mentioned that I wasn't sitting near a TV showing the Steelers game. I didn't realize the TVs were labeled by game until the bar had started filling up. By that point, roughly 30 of the 40 people in the room were Steelers fans, yet there was only ONE TV showing the game. I completely understand not changing a TV if someone is watching another game, but there were multiple TVs directly in front of us showing games that NOT ONE person was watching. We asked if they could switch one and were told no. Then, right after the first period, the ONE TV showing the Steelers game lost signal. They turned it off and back on, that didn't fix it, and they basically gave up. We again asked if they could put the game on one of the other TVs that no one was watching and were still told no. Everyone at the bar was frustrated and unhappy. The service wasn't much better. The bartender was inattentive, I was never offered a food menu even though people around me were, and no one told me about the 2-for-1 drink special before I ordered. To top it off, my nachos came out burnt to hell. I ended up leaving without even drinking my second drink. They did nothing to accommodate any of us (not just me, but the 75% of the room who were Steelers fans). I'll never take my business here again.

Food came out pretty quickly & the staff gave us a heads up that the only beer cheese they had left for the nachos was from the bottom of the pot, & to let us know if it tasted off & they'd remove it from the ticket which was nice, but I thought it was fine. We ordered the pub Reuben, bratwurst, & southwest pub nachos, & a Belgian blonde ale. Pretty solid for pub food! It's not going to win any awards but they had a good drink selection & the food hit the spot & is very reasonably priced for eating out nowadays. Would recommend for a chill hangout spot to grab a beer & share a bite, but it was crowded even at 10:30 at night!
