Great drinks - even better people

I have been going to this bar for about 5 years, and yes, there are older men that hang out there, but who cares. The drinks are great, the people are friendly and the prices are fabulous. I have never seen a fight here, nor any bad attitudes. If you want a good drink and friendly people, go here for a drink (or 5).

Best dive bar around

I love this place. It is the ultimate dive bar. Drinks are hella strong and cheep. Yep there is your stable old gay man at the bar. You have the young drunk ones plaing pool and goofing off and most of the time the bartenders are having as much fun as the quest. They always make you feel welcome, even if they dont know you and it is a great place to go when you feeling like showing up at a bar along. You always find someone to talk to and dont feel like you look like a hooker! LOL
