“ AHH-MAZING! We've heard about this place for a long while now but never had been able to make the drive until this past weekend. Soooo worth the drive! The atmosphere is bursting full of good energy - everyone is friendly & welcoming - music sounded fabulous. I couldn't have asked for a better night out. The space itself is intimate & cozy but you can still find room to politely dance if the music is calling your heart to groove! There is SO MUCH memorabilia & funny decor to see all over! Just when you thought you saw everything, something else will catch your eye! They do have frozen pizzas you can purchase to help soak up your drinks from your belly which is a great little touch! Bar is stocked with basics, there was a couple wine choices, seltzers (white claw), and beer was a plenty. They had a couple IPAs & your usual standard beer choices as well. You don't want to miss the "intermissions" in between the band breaks. hahah such a great time & I cannot wait to come back here! Highly recommend everyone come here at least once - but heck, you know you'll be back again because you enjoyed it so much the first time! ”
