A great bar spot for simple bar food and good cold beer. The burger was ginormous! Fresh toppings. Crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, tangy red onions! The cheese fries were good. The chicken wings were crispy, juicy, and the sauce was really good. A great spot for sports too, tons of TVs, large area, and great staff. -
Came up here on a thursday with the intent of singing sone karaoke. The selection was one of the worst i’ve ever seen. The dj had the audacity to have a TIP JAR up here. With a horrific selection as you have, the LAST thing you should have up there is a tip jar!!! Sound was poor, selection was downright insulting, and the kitchen was out of service…… This was a total a d complete waste of my time…,, -
Absolutely love this place. Great sports bar with great food and 2 9' simonis cloth pool tables and a loft with about 6 dart boards up there where they have leagues. Awesome place to hang out -
Don't drink, but a cool spot to chill out and play a game of pool..Food is good also..Jello shots as special bartender replies..sweet lady..Dr.D. -
I’m a Virginia local, but during a recent stay in the area, my girlfriends and I visited this fantastic bar. The three male bartenders provided top-notch service, ensuring we never waited more than two minutes for orders or drinks.
We enjoyed a few games of pool, which I later discovered incurred an extra charge, I had no problem with paying… however, the staff graciously waived the fee due to uncertainty about our total playtime.
What truly impressed me, though, was the exceptional customer service I received weeks later when I called to inquire about a lost debit card. The woman who answered was amazing, taking the time to verify that my card wasn't stored on the premises.
Although I didn't catch any names, I'm confident that this establishment consistently provides outstanding service. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely be back. Thank you all for a wonderful experience!
