Praise
“It is almost impossible to describe this place. Is it a billiards bar? A patio? A dive? A dog bar? It's really none of these things, but it has elements of each. Feels almost like you've stepped into a house party and you can make whatever you want of it. Whatever it is, it's one of the best bars in all of Lakeview.” -Rogan G.
“This bar was so much fun! My friends rented out the back room for their birthday and the bartenders were super gracious and patient with us the whole night. They treated us like queens and I had the time of my life playing pool with some of the regulars, who were also incredibly patient, kind, and friendly. This bar epitomizes all the great things I hear about the Midwest. I’ll definitely be back!” -Katie M.
