Very unique, cool and cozy hangout. The pianist was very talented, as were the volunteer singers who accompanied. walls are covered with remnants of past visitors, stickers, business cards, feel free to add to it! Definitely a local favorite hangout with great people.
Really comfortable place: good steak, good service. Very dark with wonderful pianist. Some good singers but others so bad you want to leave. Of you have a couple drinks you might become more tolerant.
First and foremost, this would be a 5-star review if they accepted cash.
I find the atmosphere to be wonderful and somewhere between dive bar and historical landmark.
The inside is dimly lit with that too-familiar red light and any exposed wood is covered with business cards and random paper paraphernalia that has been tacked up over the years.
Bonus; there's a grand piano that is the life of the party during the nights when live music and raucous karaoke is hosted.
Bizarre and wonderful. This is a dive bar by all means—cash only, kind of dirty, and lots of fun locals. There’s business cards stapled all over the walls, so for that alone it’s worth the visit. Look out for the super creepy cabbage patch doll hanging near the bar. The drinks are strong and the bartenders are super friendly, too.
Fabulous, old fashioned dinner - steak, chicken, or vegetarian platter, with baked potato, steamed vegetables, & salad. The best fried chicken I’ve had - maybe ever. Great, funky decor & super service.
