Great place for ice cold beer and decent bar food. Overall a pleasant experience. It looks and feels like a normal bar, but the people are very welcoming. The bartender was very nice and took the time to learn our names and was overall very friendly. The place is filled by local people, and they were all playing pool and having a great time. There was a birthday going on and they even shared cake with us!
The French onion soup was ok, not great. The chicken quesadilla and the shrimps were both delicious. The Jersey burger had potential to be great but it was only good (I asked for a medium patty but they over cooked it).
Overall a decent spot for a quick bite and a drink if you are a local or are in the area.

Great place to eat drink and hangout. Owner is putting a lot of work into making the place even more welcoming and fun. Can never go wrong with the bar pie here. Moved here a couple months ago. Come back every week to try something new on the specials menu. Staff and regular customers are super friendly. Not a bad thing or person in this bar. Can’t wait to see what the owner does next with this place. Pricing is very fair and reasonable. If you haven’t been here stop in and give it a chance. I’ll probably be here
