I had awesome time as always with friends great bartender!!

The Alex and Ani hustle here is real! I did not know when I was trying to impress my husband with a gem of a dive bar that I would also be totally entertained. We sat down at the bar (which is a step up with chairs placed on the platform to reach the bar) next to a guy who was deeply inspecting something. Closer look and it was Alex and Ani bracelets individually wrapped in clear plastic wrap. Hey to each their own no judgement on my part! Then the bartender gets in on the bracelet inspecting. They spend the next 45 minutes debating over bracelets and which ones se is going to buy off this guy out of a plastic bag on the bar. She finally let 's me in on the 'secret ' they are prototypes so they can be sold real cheap. She bought about 5 off this guy! He was on cloud 9. I loved the whole interaction but not enough to buy those bootleg bracelets! This place is intriguing. A grill stored inside. A full fridge and the atm squished in a little cubby whole. The bar area is all see through glass where you have liquor stored next to dog bones! One leather recliner on their back patio. This place makes no sense but makes perfect sense to the dive bar unwritten/upspoken code of operation. I loved it. The bartender impressed me when I asked for a girly drink. She got excited that she could make me a drink with sherbet. Heck yes I am in! She walked over to that full fridge and grabbed that sherbet, did her thing and left me a very tasty drink. Dive Bar win!

Cheap drinks. And I love how most customers just randomly offer to buy my drinks. Awesomeness. But aside from that your typical dicey type bar, cheap drinks, pool, old school juke box, you can drink and smoke outside in their designated area, pretty decent place

I had such a good time last time I was there. Someone having a birthday party so it was really busy. Did not affect the service though, bartender was great

For a neighborhood bar it's a nice place to visit. The people there are very close like a family. The owner is the best. Way to go Peter.
