  • Price per person: $10–20
  • Noise level: Very loud, hard to hear
  • Group size: 1 person, 2 people, 3-4 people
  • Special events: Live music

Cool, casual little bar with a very local feel. We stopped in for a few drinks and some games, and they were getting set up for live music as we were leaving, which definitely added to the atmosphere. Drinks were reasonably priced, the staff was friendly, and it felt like the kind of place people come back to regularly. They also had a dog inside, which was a fun touch. The bathrooms are definitely tiny, but that’s about the only thing that really stood out as a downside. Overall, a laid-back spot with a good vibe. I’d stop in again.

First time visiting this bar. Saturday night, GREAT cover band, SUPER great staff - all of the bartenders are kind, approachable, and really seem to enjoy where they work. Tony was extra cool. The atmosphere is dope. Diverse, really cool crowd. Gives Madam’s Organ (DC) vibes. Loved it and will definitely go back.
