- Patti KilroyOctober 26, 2010Let's play beer pong or watch the game, bro!!! If this is not your thing you may want to go somewhere else.
DO NOT do the free shot of soco firey red. It's not worth the awful taste it will leave in your mouth for the rest of the night.
Mike EdwardsJuly 27, 2010Don't wear a headscarf. The bouncer will make you remove it. They're against the rules. Somehow.
Wilmer SOctober 4, 2011Drinks are cheap, but extremely watered down. Not worth it. Take your money next door to Brother Jimmy's or down the block to Bourbon street.
brigitte gApril 21, 2012Bouncer is antiemetic and worthy of arrest. I'd never go back absinthe fact was so insulted I called manager. Don't go here.- Play beer pong! 1. Show up 2. Add your name to the 3. Play!
How you offer a foursquare special, and the mngr. Said no! This place sucks!
Jessica StacyMarch 12, 2019Shame on this bar! Not a republican. In fact, I’ve always identified as a democrat, but refusing to serve someone because you don’t agree with their political views? Sad day for Dems and Americans.
Alexey BodrovMarch 29, 2013Тут супер, весело, все очень общительные и дружелюбные, коктейли дешевые и вкусные. Народу много, но на мой взгляд это +
Julyane LimaOctober 19, 2016O clima é bem de "filme americano" e só tem gente nova, a cerveja pelo que percebi é bem conta, mas não faz muito meu estilo... Por isso não curti

"Great beers on tap! Hard to find IPA's and an electronic screen that tells you how much is left. If they have Lunch by Maine Beer, do not miss it."
