My go to dive in Esky especially for football season. Great staff, interesting customer mix, decent Mex next door you can carry in for the game. Low expectations greatly exceeded, it's a decent place it you're a decent barfly

Haven't actually been, working/staying nearby, but hearing a Flock of Seagulls cover blasted at 10pm, in 2025, WHAT. Dope music choices (can't remember what was playing on the walk back). Vibe seems stellar. Even all the people outside looked like they're cool. 100% coming back here when I have free time lol

I went to listen to the bands playing the night of the Christmas party. The drinks and service were great, it was a really fun atmosphere, and everyone was friendly. I had a fantastic time.

My SO needed to shoot some pool so we went there. The Cow Shed is closer but she wanted a challenge from better players. It turned out it was Karaoke night so she got to sing a song too. I had to step outside after her song. Too many years playing in a band to tolerate some of the singers. So I tolerated all the smoke and smokers and got yelled at for a glass of water that wasn't mine. NO GLASSES OUTSIDE! Got it buddy.
