    Food is tasty, but not gourmet. Great selection of beer. Staff are nice if not the fastest. It's a dive bar, not fancy in decoration but so friendly and nice. Half price burger night is my fave - I always get the veggie burger and TOTS! Salads are fresh, grilled veggies are awesome. Love it!

    Oh yeah karaoke time on Saturday night with some former colleagues was so much fun!  I used to live down the street for 10+ years and I finally came to this place after moving away 3 years ago.  What was I thinking? This is a total gem of a neighborhood bar.  I totally missed out on coming where when I lived within walking distance as I literally could just walk here from my place.

    The bar food is pretty good here in which I've tried their wings, mozzarella  and tator tots. Typically bar food and not all expensive. I've only had a diet coke here and never any alcohol.  The mixed drinks however do look good. A couple of my friends also get beer so they have a variety of choices. So on to the karaoke, this is what's so awesome about this place..You an sign up for a song and then later on probably be guaranteed to sing within 45 minutes for less.  This isn't typical at many other places where you are lucky to get in two songs in two hours.  Also, I love how the bartenders also sing and get into it. They walk around with the mic, sing and engage the audience.  What I also love about this place is that you don't feel the pressure to really hit the notes. The crowd is forgiving and cheers you on.  That's a major plus.

    My only suggestion would be to turn down the lights as people are on stage singing. I think it creates more of an ambience and as someone that can't sing, I would love the anonymity as much as possible...lol!

    We come here quite a bit for burger Wednesdays as the quality and price can't be beat (especially the LA Woman and BBQ burgers). Karaoke nights are also always a blast here!

    Specials everyday!! This is a great neighborhood bar to hangout by yourself or with a group :) I always get the burger when I am here. Busy nights are trivia and karaoke nights, but if you are into burgers like me.... come on Wednesday it's half off!

    Can't really review for I didn't want to stay.  
    The atmosphere....well there was none.  
    Very bright lights and very loud at 8PM.  It's tiny, at the rear and in the walkout basement of the commercial spaces on Columbia Pike.

    Most customers were in their 20's and calling out things playing a game of some sort at the tables.  Those there seemed to not mind the noise they were creating and lights.  Those there seemed to be having a great time.
    Gave two stars for others seems to like it
