Outstanding neighborhood bar. Great food!!!!!!!!
Tasha is the FUNNIEST and most real bartender that I have ever met. She is SO funny and was so fast, gave great service all around, to all patrons. Prices are the cheapest I've ever seen. Will be back just for Tasha's stories though!
7:28 pm, Sunday, May 27. Will stay open when customers merit. Excellent service. Bike parking. Hot food. Cold drinks. Local friends. The place to be. Thanks!
Bartenders are what you'll expect from a dive bar. Many locals frequent the pub. The drink and prices are good and there is lotto. There is only one pool table but the patio is nice.
In the midst of a pandemic I ask the bartender for a new straw and get told no and she continues to dump my new drink I bought. I ask to talk to the owner about what happened and get thrown out again for asking for a NEW STRAW! I have never delt with such TERRIBLE SERVICE!! Save your money and go somewhere else that values costumer service!
I went here for the first time recently and didn't really know what to expect. From what everyone tells me, it was a wilder than normal crowd, but even so, it was a blast! Everyone was really cool and lively and we all had a wonderful time. 5 out of 5 would drink here again!
I love this place and visit regularly. The food could use some attention because they don't have consistent hours where the menu is available. Stopped in at 7 and was not able to order once-- what?! But outside of that, all the bartenders are amazing! I do miss Kim and Krista. Morgan, Jake, and the others great still. I really love the patio and the laid back atmosphere. They have a good pour and good vibes!! Great little spot in Kent! 3 3 3
