I had a really nice time here last night. The bartender with the ponytail and bang had the drink Poppin. I had fish and fries to eat and it was so damn good. I enjoyed the Karaoke. 5/5 I enjoyed the whole experience.

I love this place. None of that Boogie scared to move attitude. Grown folk vibes and respect all day. I've never had an issue at this place. Don't go to often but definitely make a must to go when I can. Only thing I don't like is the waitresses and who ever cooks the food. When you drunk everything is good. It seems the waitress just always mad and they'll ignore you on purpose just to serve regulars not knowing you deducting there tip in which always end up to be 2.00 because that's the service they give. The Dj is great!!!

Came from out of town stumbled across this hidden Gem much older crowd, but they have my kind of liquor. Lol definitely would return again even though another woman told me at the bar told me, What are you doing here? This is an old folks club.

A fun "whole in the wall" place for good drinks, dancing, and friendly folks. Carry 10 cash for entry.
