Just a really good bar. Lots of elbow room. - jms, 06/11/2011

I was introduced to this bar this weekend and I fell in love with it. Parking is relatively easy. The bar has a cozy/comfortable feel - booths or tables, long bar, dark lighting, cool ashtrays and



red decor. If you like a 50's feel to a bar - this is your joint especially when a rockabily band starts playing. And of of the best features - no cover for the band! Service was good too. - Nicole Pagoria, 04/21/2003
