Awesome neighborhood bar!

by esusanny at Citysearch

Went there last night with a bunch of friends. It was rainy outside, dark inside. Perfectly seedy! The ladies behind the bar were so nice and cheerful. It's a comfortable, family like environment- adorable kids running in and out of the kitchen, and yes, I did see a 6' guy w/ an eye patch. The karaoke selection is fairly limited, some of the tracks are worn, but it just wouldn't seem right if it were anything better. This is the place for you if you want to feel you're going to a friend's house to hang out, drink, eat (they brought us simple hotdogs gratis and shared one of the employee's birthday cake with everyone in the bar), and sing silly songs. "Hawaiian Pnch" was great; it has like, 9 liquors in it!

• Pros: Family like environment, nice, thoughtful people, easy going place, good drinks.
• Cons: Not for anyone looking for a trendy, hot spot.

chill

This is not your typical bar. Family owned joint that's just keeping it old school. specialty mixed drink- HawaiinPunch is the best alcoholic drink I've ever had. Lots of regulars go to this neighbor dive, but welcome newbies. if you want a mix drink to be perfected, ask for Ma.

Good place for a quick drink and entertainment (watching ppl make a fool out of 'em selves on the mic!)

Service is average and the songs could always be better.

Smells like cat pee(e)

Boy were we drunk (by the time we got here). To think that I can still remember the stench speaks for itself, though the thundering close-out-the-bar rendition of love shack was fun to watch.
