I'm not rating food as they don't serve any. It's a dive bar. A honest dive bar. Cash only. I go there every now and then. Good place for a beer after work.
Great vibes, but the service was rough. The female bartender was rude and talked down on me for not tipping $4 for a $16 order. I tipped 3, which is already a healthy tip for serving canned beers. Really didn’t appreciate that. Male bartender with glasses and mustache was great though!
