Good place to see your neighborhood band. Beer is priced perfectly. No rip offs here. Crowd can get interesting at times.

This is a hidden Gem! This place could use some TLC! There is a picture in there that if there were lights on ..I could see better.. looks like a story about Native Americans. I love stories! There's a cool lady near by who has flowers and things to plant. I bet you all could trade with one another. Some of u need a sign up. There's a sign guy who looks pretty close to where u are. I LOVE this strip!

Really great neighborhood bar with an above average beer selection for a neighborhood joint. The bartender and the regulars were all very friendly.

This place is a Clintoville gem! Came in on a Thursday for some reggae and stayed for the amazing company. Bartenders and patrons are beyond chill and the owner is a total sweetheart. Prices are incredible and there's a surprising good local craft beer selection. Definitely coming back for D&D nite hosted by Ian of Needle Exchange Records (located just down the street)
