I go here every now and then after work just looking for a chill atmosphere, relaxing, not up tight. This place is that. I've never had a bad bar tender and they pretty much always have been attentive and pleasant. If you are cool with a place that's welcoming and warm and not about prestige this is your home dive bar in midtown!

Best bar in midtown, period. Reasonable prices, great service from friendly bartenders (Eli, Jeremy, Mary, and Kristina). They have a great TV setup for watching most sporting events. They have well maintained pool tables and dart boards for league play. Their selection of booze is wide ranging, particularly the whiskey. They have a jukebox with online capabilities meaning you can load credits and play songs from the app. The aesthetic is old school wood Tavern which has a subdued feeling in midtown. The douchebag factor is also lessened by this decor and the clientele. If you want a chill, laid back place to imbibe, can hear your conversation, and diversions of playing games or watching sports, this is your spot.

Let me start by saying a like a good divey, low-key bar, and that is exactly what this is. It is different than a lot of the other bars in the area. No frills, good prices for beer, and classic bar games like darts and pool. I can't speak to food or cocktails as I stuck with draft beer, which was priced very well and exactly what I wanted. Everyone was very nice, including the bartenders and the patrons. The place was playing early thousands and 90s alt rock, the music wasn't too loud and you could hear the people around you. They have a little patio outside to enjoy as well. There is a good bit of parking in the strip, but I'm unsure how full it gets during busy times. I wouldn't go expecting anything upscale, but it was exactly what I was looking for with good accessibility from midtown/montrose area.

Probably the lowest priced beers in Mid-town. That's enough reason to visit this place on its own. Also there's actual parking here meaning you can leave your car in the lot and walk right into the facility. Which is unheard of in Mid-town considering how scarce parking is. To keep yourself entertained, they have TVs across the wall, darts, and a pool table. Just be aware that at night, there are bouncers who may not like you if they think you're being rowdy. Even looking at them a certain way can cause them to think that so be nice! Other than that, drink up!
