Great dive bar with affordable drinks. The local crowd was friendly and we had a great time.

Miss Shirley, I just want to say thank You kindly for praying with me the other day. Your Sunday Afternoon bar tender was very VERY rude to me. Her name is STAR. SHE told me to never come in again. And all I got was a water after my workout and talk to my buddy that I meet and prayed with Friday night. Love, Sally Choiniere

Best hole in the wall bar in J Vegas. The bartenders are sweet as pie and the patrons are just as kind. It is a great little hideaway.

Used to love this place. Excellent vib, cheap drinks, has tokens u can gift to friends to buy drinks, even let me bring my own mug. But I got denied service cause a local told the bar maiden I was "to Judgemental". When I questioned the bar maiden about it she wouldn't provide a straight answer. Its a shame but i get it, gotta protect ur demographi…

Awesome Bar, met some awesome people there. The Bartender Tammy is a Fantastic Bartender. This bar screams Historical! You can tell it has been around for a while, a total retired Veteran Bar!!! Just go and have a cold beer, you might run into someone you know.
