Had a great time getting together with friends. Plenty of seating, great band Blue Jelly, great tasting food, drinks, and service (especially Felicia)
The best stop for open mic poetry soul to soul groove philly steaks
I knew Tom when he open Tom's Papa Dino's Pizza. It's been a long time since I've been there. But the food has only gotten better and more of it, more different items has been added to the menu, the food and service is absolutely fantastic, and the music is great. I will start to revisit my old friends place. I would recommend Tom's place to all young and old, you will not be disappointed, so take time out of your busy schedule to at least taste and enjoy the good food and music, the outside courtyard setting provides a wonderful place for the family.
Local bar. I was there by myself because i was on a business trip and when I left i felt like I've going here for years. On top of that was good chicken wings!
As a pair of Brits we stick out like sore thumbs round here, but this place made us feel very welcomed! Great choice of bourbon, beer and other holy waters! We sat at the bar for few hours amongst the regulars who made a lot of effort to make us feel at home! Great, friendly atmosphere and fantastic service. Will definitely be back!
I was staying at a nearby hotel, and was looking for a place to get a good beer and great whiskey, I found it. The bar was not crowded which was great because I got to strike up a conversation with the barmaid. She was great. Great bourbon selection for a neighborhood type place. Good beer selection.
best local Pub around! never a stranger and the food is great! bartenders know the drinks don't have to google it. Won on the Kentucky Derby and bought 2 rounds for entire bar. They Handled great! First night I had ever been there and loyal customer from now on! Glad to see places like this still exist. I promise you won't be disappointed. Yes the bathrooms are clean too!
Chill little pub near-ish 75 to stop and catch a drink. 2 happy hour Bud / Miller Lites, nice staff, friendly older crowd, what's not to love?
