This is my favorite bar. Dress however you want, be whoever you want. No pretension here. The juke box and patrons are great!! They have great bartenders who can actually make a drink correctly. I have been going here since 2004 I think? Lol anyway a long time!!

Staff seems stellar. The only individuals I've seen 'upset' here were because the bartenders weren't going to let them ruin anyone else's time there just because they wanted to 'Karen out'. Staff: 1 Karen: 0 Stars: 5

There is a reason this bar is voted number one. Their team members are friendly, efficient and care about their customers! I highly recommend them. Especially for sporting events. They have great television coverage inside the main bar, on the back patio, and even at their entrance. Great work!

Can't beat schooner night. One of my favorite mass bars. Nothing fancy, just a couple pool tables and a bar, the way I like it.

Had a fun as hell night a while back, after a long day of DoorDash- I stopped in here to grab some suds and played some pool with some awesome people! Cheap beers, awesome people, easy going place. :)

It's a bar, there isn't much that stands out but it's also not a bad place. I don't do bars almost ever but it was nice enough. They don't check vaccine cards, which made me nervous but it wasn't too crowded so I stayed. It's primarily college kids and middle aged/older guys. The bartenders are really nice people and the lady gave me exactly what I asked for (Jolly Rancher, $5) I'd go back, probably.

I popped in during the early afternoon to kill some time and met some fantastic locals and had a great time. Good priced beer, old-school Feel and if you’re a college kid was under 21, do not attempt! Not a place for a guy to poop! And a patio.

Great local bar with a fun atmosphere. Perfect for watching football or your favorite sport. Lots of good beer on tap and the bottle selection is good too.
