Dive bars vibes are surreal, smoking in house, numerous wing flavors and some great history behind the building including the 3rd floor being a brothel at once and the the basement being part of the prohibition back in the day. I brought my girlfriend I smacked down a dozen wings which were cooked to perfection. The fries came out nice and crispy and had a nice crunch.

This is a nice old time bar. Love the set up of the bar. It is a narrow horse shoe style. You can easily interact with everyone. Service is amazing. Food is very good and you get a lot for your buck. Reasonable prices. There are old pictures of what this place used to be on the wall, which I love seeing. Only thing that many people won't like is it is 1 of the few places that allow smoking. Always like visiting this establishment when I am in the area.
