If a person is looking for something unique with friendly people it's right here. Music by known bands with room to enjoy yourself inside or out. I think of it as a feel good bar, lot of conversation and smiles.

Always very friendly atmosphere and the bartenders are efficient. I was here for a group riding event and the staff was extremely friendly and there was no long wait times. It had a very small town feel and the regulars had lots of fun stories.
