This is a dive bar review, not to be confused with a restaurant or destination bar, so adjust your expectations accordingly. Went last Friday AND Saturday to see the bands. First time visit and sat at the bar to listen to the music. Just happened to sit next to the new owner and had a great chat with him. He's fixing the place up and turning it into a blues destination with live music. Was here mostly for the music and of course a drink, and both were fine. Both nights the patrons were friendly and talkative, exactly how a dive bar should be. The bands came on at 8 which I really appreciated! The bartenders double as the waitresses so they were working their butts off. Friendly and competent. Saturday night it was jammed, SRO, but we were finally able to get a seat. They could maybe use some more chairs - or maybe figure out a way to rearrange the tables - it was a seating nightmare - but we survived. Not sure if they were expecting that many people, they actually ran low on glasses, but growing pains for the new owner, I'm sure they'll sort it out. Saturday night we ordered fries and they were good. Kudos for Steve for even making them with the jam packed house. Since we love the blues I'm sure we'll be back.

Went there with my gramma and had the best bar burger that I've had since the 1980's from Goodtimes in Hamtramck! Beer/pop, burger and fries for $6 before 3 pm. This was a generous 1/2 lb or heavy 1/3 lb. burger fully topped with fresh ingredients! Quiet, dimly lit place but the bartender turned the lights where we sat up just right. Won't be the last time I come back. Sectioned off pool table area and a separate sectioned off dart area. Update July 2019:I guess the new owners took over and changed the $6-1/2 lb. juicy burger/fry/pop combo to $6-1/4 lb. dry hockey puck burg/fry/pop combo. Same quality meat but cannot make a juicy burger with that little party. The bartender there who made the burgers and frys was still great though. Very busy with our orders and other customers but very very kind and always smiled.

This is a super friendly spot great food great barmaids. Also when they got the music out it's fire!!!!! Not your crappy corner bar. A good homey spot

This is the place by the Plating company that had the toxic spill on 696. They have a green drink to commemorate the event

When are you going to have the Hazel Love Band preform? Really enjoyed them when they played on September 8th.

Not gonna lie.. Was a lil skeptic at first.. We walked into a super dated hole in the wall bar based on closeness to our house and other yelp reviews..One lady working both food and drinks.. BUT... The food was actually pretty dang good! We got the sliders and they were some of the best I've had.. The beer tap is limited with miller lite and bud lite but it was cold and fresh.. We will be back:)

Great time, friendly people, and astrology lessons. Truth. ***live bands** * budget friendly and local favorites that keep you coming back

Best burger in town! Great staff, amazing music! Come listen to the live blues and enjoy some great food. You will not be disappointed!

Cheapest beers around lol. A damn good burger I mean damn good. Lots of bar food... ie. Mini tacos wings Mac and cheese bites, cheese stix ect. And very cool location cool low key crowd.

It's effectively a smoking bar. People line up to smoke in the bathroom because going outside 2 ft away must just be too hard. Therefore the entire place is smokey. And a bit dumpy.
