This place has been consistent good with service, drinks and food. I love the abundance of sports memorabilia that creates a unique atmosphere. And they have a side unit for volleyball and cornhole tournaments. I really appreciate the drink specials and crowd you get when you come here. Parking aplenty and lots of options for the pickiest of picky people.

Ok so the place screams sport. Standard sports bar fare, TVs and memorabilia everywhere. Our server was very nice and didn't "over serve" us at all. Food was a pair of burgers and fries and there were no complaints. Worth a stop if you're into this kind of thing.

Fun place for a drink! Came here with a group of people on a Saturday and had no issues with service or seating. Decor was super fun, will be back!

If you love sports and have kids, this is a great place to eat and have the kids entertained. They have a basketball gym I believe is for booking, so lots for the kids to do. Food is great and beer selection is nice as well. Service is always on point and the radio always has good music playing. Never too loud or too low. Always the biggest hits.

Stopped in with a friend from out of town, and we were pleasantly surprised at the size of this place! Very large, and SO much sports merchandise. Staff is friendly, and the food was great! I practically inhaled my burger and ranch-seasoned fries. I could eat those things every day. I am a big fan of pull tabs - a guilty pleasure that is a fun treat on the (rare) occasion I'm at a bar these days - and usually I am lucky if I win $1. This time, I won $250! So I don't think I could've made a bad review about this place even if I tried, but I had an awesome experience regardless. I will definitely be back.

We hosted our wedding reception in the gymnasium space- it was perfect! Our guests loved the decor, activities (volleyball, basketball and corn hole), and patio access. Working with Michael, the GM, was a breeze and he accommodated all of our requests. All of the waitstaff were helpful. Highly recommend the nacho bar and chicken wings. We also did a hot sandwich buffet (burgers and brats) but our guests seemed most excited about the appetizers and unfortunately had to waste some food. Wish I could go back and live that day all over again- it was so perfect!

I have mixed feelings about this place. The drinks are cheap but the food is gross! In particular, the tacos and nachos are a 2/10 at best. I really feel that this place needs a better cook or to change their menu options. A lot of locals come here which is why the place is still open. The environment is chill and they have a cool little area to play games and they have a place to play slots and arcade games.
