A dive bar that’s actually got character and is clean…but best of all has an incredible story (ask about Phil), staff (especially James the bartender) that actually cares, and regulars that will quickly make you welcome. Did I mention this bar supports military personnel and James is a veteran himself?! This bar is great and deserves your support!
