TL;DR: It's a wonderful local dive, that's enough. Rough edges, but friendly, comfortable, inexpensive, and you'll feel more like your at friends basement than at a fancy polished bar. So just relax and make yourself at home.
Been a few times with a friend or my wife and I always end up chatting with somebody, patrons or bartenders, every single time. Went for a karaoke night and had a blast even though I'm normally not a fan. It's very well priced, they will have something youll enjoy, and it was the cheapest Guinness in town by a long shot.

Oh yeah, on Saturday nights this awesome lady makes and brings in homemade pudding shots. All different flavors and they’re...
