I'd give it a 5 out of 4. Very clean and plenty of space puts it miles ahead of the nearby competition, the crowd varies from dead to quasi-grunge, not hipster, but not very open as they come here as cliques. Still a safe and ok place to come by for a few.
Tap beer is limited to American standards and Blue Moon. Liquor is also typical shot and beer type choices, they do have red wine, just rxpect it to be from the close out shelf.
They cater to pool leagues so having four tables and a darts game plus high seat tables is nice change from the nearby dives.
Refreshingly limited gambling machines are limited to four as well. There's a pharmacy a couple of blocks away the has a couple of dozen (is it still a pharmacy?) And most nearby bars have more seats dedicated to gambling rather than boozing ! They need to get their vices straight ( he he)

The owners give to its communities by having free food on holidays and Chicago Bears games . In addition, they help sponsor an event called Big Bikes for Little Tykes helping kids with cancer. Last, this place has annual food drives for local churches and food pantries. This friendly environment is a great place to visit . In conclusion, every Tuesday and Friday is a free poker network for free Texas holder torments . ...
