Very cool quaint bar with lots of nostalgic pictures all over and a great outdoor patio with a cool vibe and music on the weekends and even weekdays:) Corrine was great serving the whole place and Ryan the owner was really cool and hangin and chatting w everyone there, really cool Midwest bar to the T. Food was also really good and hot and fresh the fries were so fresh out of the fryer almost got burnt lol and they were nice and crispy but not burnt at all. Burger was amazing! 1/2 pound w applewood smoked bacon, Swiss, balsamic marinated onion marmalade, honey garlic aioli and arugula, absolutely fantastic. Ice cold beers to top it off, can’t wait to come back and try the wings and some other things!:) 5 stars all around for food, service, vibes and friendliness. Keep up the good fight guys!:)

It’s a vibe every time I’m here. Great food, owners, staff and people I meet a new friend every time I’m here. The drinks & food are very reasonable. At any moment you can enjoy karaoke or see a live band. A hidden gem & a great space for private parties. No sitter? No problem. Bring the kiddos! It’s a family restaurant.

I have been driving by for years and finally stopped in for lunch. And it was well worth it. Lunch portion Italian Beef was amazing. The best I’ve had in the area in 30 years. Service is prompt, courteous, and kind. And the atmosphere & environment is classy. Right now I’m back for dinner.

It’s a small place, but it’s an excellent music venue! All ages! outside patio with bands on Sunday afternoons (summer). Food is great, staff is supper nice. A Speakeasy downstairs. The ascetic alone is worth the visit!

I recently celebrated my 50th birthday in true roaring '20s style at this amazing speakeasy, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, we were transported back in time with the elegant, vintage atmosphere and top-notch decor. The staff were exceptional – friendly, attentive, and really made us feel like we were part of something special. The cocktails were expertly crafted. The whole evening had such an authentic vibe, it truly felt like a hidden gem from the past. If you're looking for a unique, classy spot for any celebration (or just a fun night out), this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Moved to the area almost 5 years ago. I’ve seen this bar for the past 3 years, since it’s on my way to work. I’ve always wanted to stop by and check it out. Well. Finally made it and it did not disappoint! Our server Melissa was amazing! I had the shrimp po-boy sandwich and it as delicious! Definitely will come back again more often!
