What People Are Saying
from Google"If you're ready to BUMP AND GRIND- this place has outstanding music selection especially if you want to hop in and sing a tune or two with karaoke Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The cocktails and drinks are to die for, not literally, but delicious. You won't find anything like it! But the best part was the BBQ! Best BBQ I've ever had IN MY LIFE. Swing in and show them some love!"
"The service was great! Unfortunately, the food wasn't the best I've had. I ordered the chicken wings. The sauce was okay. I believe on the menu it's claims to be a "secret sauce". The issue was the large amount of breading and fat on the wings. I could barely find any actual chicken. They might want to reconsider their take on "wings". Good selection of beer and cocktails."
"Maybe we came on a weird night. Seems like there was unusual people just lounge lizarding while we went to the bar. We were the only ones there. The bar they show in the pictures is it sad representation right now with clutter all over the place. Waitresses sort of waiting around and people hanging out with music absolutely blasting. I get the feeling that this might be more of a locals place and being from out of town we were looking for some food and this was highly rated with a 4.5. We had one beer quickly and then got out. Once again, might be more of a late night place or a local place but the vibe was totally... Weird."
"Two words: SKEE BALL. also live bands. That's actually four words, five if you include "also." This was one of the best burgers i have had in AGES and the bar staff is super cool. The stage is huge and the sound setup is great for any size band. Highly recommend."
"Great place to hang out and catch a show. Very DiY feel as a venue, and a great stage! Can't wait to play to play here again. 🤘"
