“ Fun atmosphere, has live band ”
“ 10 STARS for this bar. My dad, Mark Claire, passed away in a motorcycle accident almost 2 months ago and we went here since it was his main hangout... they greeted us just like we were Norm from Cheers. It has a bit of a rough feel from the outside because of the weekly live bands and bikes but this is a really great crowd and I have come to enjoy hanging out there as well. ”
“ Great place to come have a beer and enjoy some music on a Friday night ”
“ Just your average dive bar! Love the new updates, bigger warmer patio outside. They even added a new bar out back :) no waiting in lines for booze! Love when they have live music on weekends. They always have a taco truck outside on weekends as well, which is a must for all the drunkies. My absolute favorite thing though is their line dancing every Wednesday night! Love the group that goes, I had lots of fun making that my every Wednesday activity. As soon as life settles down I will be back every Wednesday doing line dancing :) ”
“ Friendly staff and great music. They also have good options when it come to alcohol. They also have food from Saucey's BBQ and catering. ”
