“ We came in to play some darts and have a few drinks and eat some food. It’s a great welcoming atmosphere. The bar don’t serve food but the owner was sure to go to another bar he owns that does and bring us wings. We being not from around here and here for work felt very welcome. Everyone was so interested in what we do for work and very polite. We will definitely be making this our go to bar while we are in town. I highly recommend stopping in here if you’re in the area. Thank you very much to these friendly group of amazing people for not looking at us like we’re outsiders like almost every place we go to does we greatly appreciate it. ”
