Nice neighborhood bar. No food. Good drinks. Friendly staff. Smoking allowed inside.
Haven't seen any food around, but the people are all welcoming and there's a good atmosphere. A lot of older clientele, but that's to be expected in a 35 year old dive bar. One of the best spots I've found in East Dallas. 2 pool tables and cheap drinks!
This is a great little neighborhood bar. The bartenders are all fabulous. I was looking for a place to go as a woman alone and not get hassled. This was the place. During the football games, the jukebox is off and you can hear the game. The pool tables are in good shape and it's easy to find someone to play with.
Great atmosphere. Pool tables too
I don't drink much anymore, but a friend of mine was kinda celebrating last night. We a BLAST for the hour we were there. At first I was surprised at how busy they were, until I met Marshall (bartender). He was extraordinary friendly, super nice and very patient with my indecisive order. Would definitely go back whenever he's working.
Nice neighborhood pub..... no food.
Great group of people. Free Memberships & Free Parking. Laid back atmosphere. Ice cold Beer. Sit at the Bar or kick back in the loungers. Tables and outdoor seating as well. Friendly staff and always have something going on. Go check it out. You'll see.
Killer dive bar...members only but membership is free. Smoking inside, great pool tables and fantastic bartenders. Full bar and a great Mexican restaurant across the parking lot.
