Great dive bar. Yummy food and best drinks, especially when the owner is not there.

Why are paninos not more common?! Stopped here while visiting from out of town, not knowing what to expect, only to be incredibly disappointed that we can’t get these at home! Immediately bookmarked this place in case we’re ever in the area again. The bartender was SUPER nice as well and she even gave us some tips in case we wanna try making them at home. Even the sides were great- a side salad and perfectly seasoned fries. We will definitely be back some day!

Great place to meet with friends, have a drink and enjoy being out without it being overwhelming. This spot has pool tables, darts, and a very open layout.

We love to go here mid week, usually for lunch, because we're old and it can get a little loud on the weekends especially on a game day. Not a criticism, I just choose to go at the less busy times. Staff is friendly and can offer great menu suggestions. Jeremy, on particular, this week provided excellent service from suggesting to preparing and serving our drinks. The food, especially the panino was delicious and the portions generous. We always end up taking home left overs.

Ive always had good service here. Never had a meal i didnt like, and the food always comes out piping hot. The purple haired bartender is super cute.

This is the Place!!!! Buffalo Chicken Pizza , House Special Panino and the Cheese Bread all Delicious!!! We will be back!!! Amazing!! First time here. Drinks are good too.

Food is worthy of more than it's appearance of atmosphere, service while it's good, is diminished at times which made me lower it. Every time I go there I see the same regulars. Unfortunately, the buy one get one on paninos shouldn't require a printed coupon, not in today's electronic world. My printer is down and frustrating they don't honor the deal online.

Little bit of a city dive bar. That's a good thing by the way. Food was good, beer was cold, and service was great.
