Stinky is the best bartender here ever. Always friendly crowd and friendly wait staff . Not a lot of gals tho (for the ladies go to the Garden ) lol

2-8 p.m. Monday through Friday enjoy $1.50 draws and $3 wells (which are always doubles). Each purchased drink gets you a punch on your Saddle Punch Card, good for a free drink once it’s filled up. Read more

Some bartenders need to check their attitudes! We come to pay for a good time, not get the cold shoulder and be treated as if our dollars aren't good enough. Usually a fun time, hopefully just a fluke
