“ Walked in as a stop before dinner. Everyone here was quietly watching Jeopardy on the tv and politely saying their answers. We grabbed a booth and joined in the fun. Services was great. Won a 1 off a pull tab and wished we could have stayed longer. Vibes are incredible. ”
“ Great cozy little bar in a quiet area off Brady st. The bartender was very nice! Love the little nooks to sit in the back of the bar. Not a flashy place but has character and charm. We even had good luck with the pull tabs! ”
