"We were looking for a place to shoot pool and have a few drinks without the smoke. This place was perfect. Had games on, the live band was not too loud and fit the ambience very well. Staff was fantastic. Pool tables were away from the traffic of the bar. What a great place. Wish we had something like this at home!"

- Tara H.

"Went to a late night karaoke. It was a good time. People kept pouring in at 1 am even tho they close at 2 am. My friends had drinks and no one complained about them being made bad or tasting strange. Everyone in the bar seemed to be having a good evening."
