What People Are Saying
from Google"Cool dive bar with nice Foosball table. Burger was excellent. Bartender was attentive, friendly and extremely hard working. Big long bar"
"Drinks were all really weirdly bad and it’s $3 more for ginger beer instead of ginger ale but they don’t tell you that when you order so ur drink will be $13! Five stars nonetheless"
"I’m not going to tell the locals anything that they don’t already know, but this place is AWESOME. I’m from the Midwest and I immediately felt welcomed and at home here. Beer was cold and cheap, service was fast and friendly and the food was outstanding."
"Super fun divey bar on the best row of bars downtown. Free pool (some nights) 6$ pitchers of High Life and PBR. Very chill bartenders and a DL vibe to the place. It's kind of dimly lit ,which can be fun. The food is really good ( try the broccoli cheddar bites, IMO) and made to order pretty quickly. This is my go-to downtown bar because it's unpretentious and chill."
"The building is a lot smaller than you'd think it should be for the number of people there. The walkway between the booths and bar is so narrow you almost have to touch people as you walk by. There's a single pool table but I would guess it's really hard to play on it because it's so cramped. The bathroom definitely just smelled like straight urine. And I'm pretty sure I saw the guy making my food rub his nose while he was cooking. 10/10. Place is incredible. Best hole-in-the-wall I've ever been to. Atmosphere is a time machine. The vibes are immaculate. The bar staff was amazing. I paid just over $20 for a burger, basket of fries, and 2 Spotted Cows on draft right off the Capitol block. I'll be back next time I'm in town."
