Was there on St. Patty’s Day and it was a blast. Fun bartenders and love the old school vibe. Great prices and cold drinks. Has a nice outdoor area. Bathrooms are newly renovated. Very nice but too bad they are not vintage looking to match the classic bar.

Small town vibe, seems to be a pretty good crowd there every time we throw darts. Besides people who don't know dart etiquette it is pretty great! Bartender is chill, and is very respectful to us as well! Only bad side, is it is an all cash bar.
