Hanging late night at the ship. Great little dive bar. The bartender Mary was perfect. Attentive when needed. Leave me alone when needed. Good times. Glad I stoped in.

Always great! This place has been a neighborhood mainstay for years and I couldn't be happier about it.

Classic dive. Friendly folks. Great patio (though no heat). Wifi and they don't care if you work. Phone chargers on the bar are a nice touch. Food cart connected and they're happy with anyone bringing food in from any nearby establishment. Free pool 6-midnight everyday. Pinball. Several TVs. Always people at the bar if you wanna chat, but also plenty of tables around if you wanna chill.

Great spot to meet some friends for drinks and play pool or just sit back and chat. They didn't mind us ordering some food from DoorDash. Overall what you'd expect from a dive. No complaints

A good neighbored bar for the bar regular or young folk looking for a good dive in the neighborhood. Justin has been my best bartender so far, great service and it's nice it to see him hustle, if he's on you then you will be taken care of. Smoking patio is open most of the night but if youre here past 1AM you may be SOL. No blame on them though, we all know staffing isn't adequate these days. Regardless they have great staff and a good time is be had here solo or as a group.

We love it. This was a token of a place prior to COVID and now it's even better (for what we are working with). If you love a dive bar, you will love this spot. They have seating on the sidewalk out front with small umbrellas for covering but no heaters. Benefits? You can smoke and have your pups. The side/back is covered with a tent and has two heaters that really heat up the place. They have about 6 tables in the back that are distanced from each other AND a TV that is usually playing a sporting event if there is one one otherwise maybe the history channel. I've felt safe coming here unless all the tables are full then it starts to get a little cramped but overall, I love the space. You can't smoke or have your pups back here though. The drinks are always a good pour. Bartenders are always kind. They also have a pretty fun food menu that includes what I would consider bowling alley food which sometimes we just need. Example: totinos pizza!!!!! What a blast from the past and exactly what a dive bar should have. They have hand sanitizer throughout and feels as safe/clean as it can be.
