Stopped by for a drink and game of pool and stayed for a few hours. Woops! Bar staff was great - poured a good drink and very personable (but not in a trap-you-in-a-convo way)! It was nice to drop in after work and reward ourselves for making it through another Monday. Vibes were great, frost rail was frosty, and parking was a breeze being a non-show evening! I had the vegan crunchwrap supreme and it was delicious. So happy to have a solid vegan option at Val Air Ballroom / in the Valley Junction area!! They use Beyond Beef, but it’s got nice crunch veg in there too. To quote the great Billy Bob: I give it a ten! 🙌🏻

Ok no joke, this place is THE Hidden Dive Bar of WDM. The drinks are legit $3 mystery beers & the apps are to die for. The Chicken Lips & Eggs are amazing! Don’t forget the cold bar beers, and burritos. Can’t wait to make this our Wednesday hangout before volleyball!

Had lunch there today with friends. The atmosphere was nostalgic. The, (almost one man staff) was fantastic, accommodating and entertaining. Then the food arrived, It was very good. The menu sounds like normal, bar type food, but it was the best food I have had in a Restaurant/Bar. Hats off to the Chef....

Hidden gem this. Drinks were great. Staff was awesome. The whole place has an unpretentious, laid back vibe. Soundtrack makes you feel cooler than you really are, and TV’s had The Office and No Reservations on. What’s not to love about that. Glad I checked it out before everybody...
