    My Sunday billiards brunch was stunned. They're out of fish and chips.

    Back to the menu. Okay, Cheeseburger and Waffle Fries. Side of housemate Chili? Joe, the steady Sunday bartender suggested chili on everything.

    It was a massive plate. I paced myself and enjoyed every bite. The chili with ground chuck and green chilies was spicy with just the right kick. I thoroughly was happy.

    Joe, who's been there ten years, told me it was his last day. He moving to Reno for the right reason, love. Wishing you all the best, Joe. We will miss you and your famous Bloody Mary's!

    This place was empty & empty for a reason ! They only deserve two stars for the drink. The staff / male bartender was very rude & prejudices toward my friend group . The place was highly recommended by one of my colleagues and it was the complete opposite of the experience that was described.

    Great place to play pool with coworkers and to relaxe and have a good time. Been here a few times for some late night with coworker.

    Saturday night it was not overly crowded at 8:30 pm.  There were still plenty of tables.  Sat at the bar and had some chicken tenders which came out very fast and I enjoyed.  Service was good but then I was the only one there since everyone else was on the tables. By 9:30 it started getting more crowded so we got our table.  Crowd was really diverse and everyone was cool about their business.  The place is clean, the bar is nice and clean too.  There are small tables with chairs by your pool table to place your drinks but there is also a cluster of small tables and chairs by the bar so that a group can potentially sit together and just eat before playing.   Parking was great since I got there early I had a spot in the lot.  Some of my friends did street parking pretty easily.  If I am in the area I would go again.

    My cousin and I stopped by here for a couple of drinks.  Not much interacting wtih the staff.  The bartender was cleaning up, so she checked in on us periodically.  Nothing outstanding or disappointing to report.  We received decent service with measured shots... I'll provide more if I ever go back (which I'm pretty confident I will).
