I live literally right behind this bar and I am a bartender. Match made in heaven, right? I would have thought this would be a regular haunt after work but we had a couple of instances where I thought, eh, P and Qs (which is heaven, but closes early) is a much better option. Tonight I went in as a last resort for to-go fries and had such a lovely experience with Crystal the bartender. Such friendly customer service. Thank you Crystal! I'm sure we'll see you again
Great bar, delicious food, good vibes. Got the pulled pork sandwich, was delicious. Went on eggnog competition night. Alex rocks. Shoutout to Alex the bartender.
Super cute spot decorated for the holidays. We had the pretzels with cheese and a chicken sandwich and they were both delicious. The service was quick and the server/bartender was incredibly friendly. Nice, low-key spot as we had friends coming and going and it wasn't an issue to pull an extra chair up. Highly recommend this spot!
Vibes are super chill Staff members are friendly and helpful The drinks are great! We got the draft mule and house of dragons cocktail it's mezcal+ tequila and passion fruit Wings and beets salad hit the spot Highly recommend this establishment
Tough luck is such a great bar. I love the food offerings, the drink selection and the shuffleboard! It is kid friendly before 9pm and they have board games in the bar to play as well. The firepit and heated patio is great all year round! You order your drinks and food at the bar and the food is pretty darn good with a healthy portion. Love this place.
