What an incredible experience!!! I went to the bar at the very last minute, hoping to be allowed to bring in a small party for my birthday. I met with Joe and he accommodated every one of my requests without hesitation. He really is amazing! Katy showed me around and was also super sweet. The night of the event, all went over without one glitch! We had the best view in the house with the private area on the 2nd level. The band, Wildcard, was so good and partied with us the entire night. The lead singer actually sang Happy Birthday to me in front of the entire bar! Even the patrons were amazing. We all just sang, dance and celebrated the night away! We will definitely be back!!!!!!! Good vibes is what it should be called!!!! A greater time could not be had!!!!

Joe the bartender, is a class act! He is very fast and had great interpersonal skills! He knows his drinks and works hard for his customers! He knows how to manage everything well! This place draws some really fine musicians! ✔️ It out! Karaoke Wednesday night, with a fine DJ, Raye Raye! She is beautiful and a great DJ and a phenomenal singer! Open jam on Tuesday night which is mostly blues with some great musicians!

Unpretentious neighborhood spot in a neighborhood without many bar options. Consistently great vibes and atmosphere, big patio, 2 levels. Reasonably priced drinks with frequent specials- everything you could ask for in your local watering hole! If you're not coming here to meet up with a friend, don't despair! You'll leave with at least a few more new buddies you'll make in this super chill spot.

I visit here to play pool league matches. The patrons and employees are some of the coolest most friendly people you will ever meet. Pool tables are a little run down as is the bar. Definitely a whole in the wall kind of place full of awesome people! Recently a tornado came through and they are currently shut down but I will be back to support them upon their re-opening! Great establishment!!

I went there last night for the First time and enjoyed myself. Great Staff, Good Music, Nice Atmosphere. I even met some awesome people. I most definitely will go back, especially because I saw they have a Dart Board, that's a plus for ME. For those whom love to play pool they have pool tables too.

The live music was excellent, a mature friendly crowd, excellent prices for drinks, and the bar staff was delightful. The pool tables and sticks were pretty bad though, so if you are coming here purely for high-quality billiards, look elsewhere.

This bar is amazing. Live bands, great atmosphere and wonderful bartenders. Joe is an amazing bartender. He really gets to know his regulars and remembers their drinks, even after meeting them only one time. I will definitely be going back to this bar. I think I found my second home.

I want to love this place, but the slow bartender service makes people leave.... sad state of affairs. Saturday, prime time, BEYOND slow. 25 minutes for one drink. Seriously? Oh, and, you were told to increase bartenders BEFORE the private event that was here......

On my top 5 because its a few blocks from my home. This place offers a mixed crowd and well poured drinks. If your looking to score this is not the place. This is a neighborhood watering hole, where cool local bands play on most Fridays and Saturdays.

This is the most friendly place I've ever been it's not just a bar.. you feel at home..and so laid back relaxed always great mix of music and bands on the weekends .and the Bartenders treat you like family .love love love this place ..

Great dive bar but if you're wanting to strike up a conversation with a human, there are never very many around. They used to have live music on Saturday but I believe that practice has ceased. It was a good run.

It’s a very chill bar in an area that doesn’t have many bars within a five to ten min drive. Cheap drinks and a chill time is what you will find here. It does get rowdy on the weekends but the good kind!

Excellent place to hang out with friends. Very casual setting, affordable drinks, plenty of seating and games, live music most weekends. Bartenders are cool and the crowd is very diverse. Great dive bar

Come on down to "A STEP UP LOUNGE"! GREAT SERVICE, GREAT PEOPLE AND.. LIVE OPEN JAM EVERY TUESDAY FROM 9:30 till 1:00 a.m. with TOPCAT RECORDS BLUES REVIEWS JAM BAND. ALWAYS A GREAT TIME!!

MY WIFE AND I HAVE BEEN IN A COUPLE OF TIME, JOE AT THE BAR IS GREAT AND A REAL PRO WHEN MAKING DRINKS AND YOU CAN DRINK JW BLUE FOR $35 A GLASS AND THATS THE CHEAPEST ANYWHERE IN TOWN!

Simply wonderful! Great atmosphere with karaoke going on. A fee very impressive singers. Joe was behind the bar and was tremendous. Will certainly be a stop the next time I'm in town.

My husband and I love to hangout there, share drinks and play pinball... Julie and Joe are great people, and the music is awesome, DJ or Band, does not matter. We love this place!!

Really great chill dive bar. Cool down to earth staff who very respectful and good to their customers. Great two level set up with pool tables and live music. Glad I found it.

Had a good band start @9pm & shows they do every Saturday night. Had 3 pool tables & a patio out back to smoke. Their prices were decent & the staff was super nice.

I have been here several times! I really appreciate and enjoy the live music. Great drinks too! Celebrated a birthday or two with friends here as well!

Stopped by just to check the place out and had a blast. Lots of friendly locals and we even got to celebrate Judy's (the bartender) Birthday!

Cheap prices on drinks, very friendly staff and customers! Paired with calm, chill vibes makes this bar a perfect hangout. Highly recommend.

Small cozy place to chill and make frnds.joe I'd awsome dude.the bartender.
