“ This was a fun dive bar. Great drink specials, awesome staff and fun vibes. Theres outdoor seating and plenty of seating inside for small groups. My friends and I stopped by for their dice roll combo. Its around 11 for a shot and beer. Cant find a better deal in the city. We also had their wings, ribs, fries and hush puppies.
