“ What a great little dive bar. Really friendly patrons and good musicians on the night I went. At 43, I was probably one of the youngest in the bar at the time I was there. But that is awesome. I hear they do a fish fry and other events. I will be back. ”
“ It truly is the Home of Happiness! The people are the most welcoming and the music is surprisingly excellent! ”
“ The last true dive bar! My boyfriend and I went, on Tuesday, to a new Texas two-step class that is being held there. We only had soft drinks but the bar itself has so much charm and the bartender was a sweetheart. The dance instructor, whose name is Russ, was so much fun to learn with. Very casual and very laid back. They have darts, slots and live music to enjoy after a certain time. Very chill, fun vibes, if you want a quick drink or if you want a new watering hole without a lot of fuss or nonsense. Good service, good vibe, great new dancing! ”
