    Food is excellent. Well put together and tastes great.
    Service is very slow on off-days so don't expect to get in and out quickly.
    Good for watching sports and there's a dartboard if watching isn't your thing.

    Altogether the food is much better than other pubs in the area. Beer is what you'd expect, around 13 on tap.

    I have a serious complaint regarding service here. The owner bumped into my 26-year-old female friend, and proceeded to yell at her and put his hands her on her for spilling her beer on him. Both the bartender and the bouncer apologized for the owner's behavior, but this was overall awful service at a neighborhood bar, and we left before finishing the ~$45 in drinks we bought.

    Been going here for 6 years. Drinks have been great, a nice vibe, but the one time I get awful service and tip accordingly, bartender wants to give me an attitude and complain regarding the gratuity that he received in a confrontational manner. This is the type of behavior and attitude that refrains a business from growing. As a server myself, I always ask myself first what went wrong on my behalf and if I didn't give 100%, what could I improve? In the end, you get what you give.

    I'd like to give this place a higher review since it's my local pub but they really don't do anything to deserve it.

    Their biggest sin is their flat skunky drafts.

    I mean I really don't care that the selection is minimal or that the lighting is bad or that it doesn't seem like they ever clean the place - whatever it's dive bar, BUT the beer SHOULD be fresh tasting and it's not, not now not (I'm assuming) ever.

    Be aware that the Saturday night karaoke DJ is a dictator who shuffles/removes song requests. My friends and I waited almost 2 hrs and our songs (from their karaoke list) never showed up. We realized that some people that arrived after us were already singing. I confronted him (because this was not the first night he neglected our songs for some reason), he got very defensive and literally yelled in my face that we "came to his establishment and disrespected him" only because my friend asked when our song was coming.. I had to tell him to calm down. The security guard was standing next to us and didn't kick us out because we obviously didn't do anything wrong.
