Smoked and dry-fried, perfectly balanced with spicy-tangy sauce and tender as can be. Same with the ribs , but be hungry! New favorite neighborhood hang-out! Love this pub ! Chill atmosphere

christian svanes kolding

was here on a lively thursday night. draws a rock and roll crowd, with a bevy of punks in their mellowed-out thirties hanging out in the back. fun vibe.

Taylor Griffith

Love this pub ! Chill atmosphere and great bartenders . For a good time order a pitcher of beer (or two) and check out Tuesday karaoke nights starting at 10pm with friends!

Scott van Pletzen-Rands

The chicken wings are the BEST! Smoked and dry-fried, perfectly balanced with spicy-tangy sauce and tender as can be. Same with the ribs , but be hungry! New favorite neighborhood hang-out!

People who have been here many more times than I rave about the jukebox , the bartenders , and the smoked meats . Who am I to argue?

Noah

Great bar . Though I cannot commit to the philosophy of "best jukebox ." Unless, of course, a best jukebox contains Bob Segar, Allman Brothers, and every popular classic rock record in existence. Cheers

Kels Jane

If you want to eat on a Monday, eat at the bar , only one server on at night and we sat for an hour before she acknowledged us. We got a pitcher and ordered from somewhere else. Good bar

Steve Poland

The backroom darts are not free, they open the BBQ smoker door continuously and torture you til you buy the goodness. #AHH

Dave Whelan

Bring your Visa card, because the bartenders don’t take shit from anyone, and they don’t take American Express.

Little dive bar with a pool table and karaoke . Was pretty crowded for a Tuesday night.

Tony Caferro

Dive bars are institution in the 716. Essex is an institution in dive bars . Long story short : Drink here, your dumbass.

OH: Can I tell you something personal? I don't like Ted Nugent, but I like this song [“Stranglehold”].

Jukebox is voted "Best Jukebox " by Artvoice. My fav. is the old school dart board with the steel tip darts !

Steve Poland

OMG THE SMOKED MEAT BURGERS. Holy moly!

Brad McRae

Not a huge fan of Rolling Rock but you really can't go wrong with a $7 pitcher !!

Jim Cielencki

New owner with higher prices.

Carl Carl

Bartenders are great, karaoke is ok...the people can be douches, and the bouncer is an ass

Aaron Koscielniak

Some chick ordered a drink & walked away. Bartender tried to charge me $8. Why do chicks idk expect me to pay for for shit? This is why I'm broke. I asked if she was going to put out. She punched me.

Chuck Notaro
