Great bar! Very nice bartender, Red, accommodated us and made us food even though the kitchen was closed. The inferno wings and waffle fries were so good. We will definitely be returning.

Always a gen when your local spot has great service and great food. Saw this place recommended on Nextdoor for their delicious 4.99 pub burger. It did not disappoint. Went during lunch on a Monday, ordered a beer while we watched them hand make the burger patty and cook everything fresh. Do yourself a favor and stop by.

Great bar food and cold drinks. Inferno wings are excellent and the staff is friendly and responsive. Overlooked a lot since it's off the main road but shouldn't be.
