Food: haha, "equipment wasn't working" when we tried to order food. Eventually had to basically trick the server into being able to order food Service: lol. Server was annoyed we were there, quite literally never served me (asked for beer 3/4 times, after 45 minutes I went to the bar to wait for 10-15 minutes while the bartender ignored me, then snapped when I asked for a drink. Gave me a warm tall mug. Oh yeah, asked for TVs on (there were a dozen, all off, in the middle of a gopher football game) and the same man who lied about the food equipment said absolutely not because of bingo. Bingo started at 3, football was done by 215Ambiance: lol. One table literally was yelling at our table during bingo because she couldn't hear. Guy running the bingo was annoyed an elderly man in the corner didn't yell bingo loud enough. Could be because it's a small shoe box. Absolutely terrible place. Staff was rude, couldnt get food or drinks. Avoid.

Average all around. Simple bar menu with average prices. Food is good, but nothing spectacular. Drink prices are slightly below normal. Service is adequate, have patience on busy days like BINGO on Wednesday, Saturday, & Sunday. They keep the place clean and the volume varies wildly depending on time of day and events. Check out their website calendar for bar, restaurant, and events schedule.

First time for their bingo and we'll be back. Great staff, food, and fun! Make sure to have cash if you're playing bingo, but they do accept cards for food.

Regulars for years. Food and service is great but they have issues with their septic. The overwhelming smell had us closing out our tab after one round.

Such a fun local bar! We came for bingo and the bartenders were just awesome! Strong drinks and good food!

Continues to be a staple and a draw to the community. New management is doing a fantastic job of ensuring consistency and quality. Staff is professional and attentive (and make great cocktails). The clientele is diverse. Everything from overdressed professionals to 'casual'. Storm burger is fantastic. If you haven't visited, you owe it to yourself (and the vets) to give it a try. They also pour a lot of their proceeds back into the community. Great spot to support for all the right reasons.

This place deserves our patronage now that it has reopened. Food is good, and drinks are well made. It is a neighborhood staple and gathering place.

Not a bad place, but they've got something going on with their plumbing/septic. Place always has that background reek of backed up sewage. Blocked stack? I don't know, but I can't enjoy with that atmosphere.

Long wait for service, food was served cold. Advised waitress and food was brought back to the kitchen, reheated and served to me. Had taken one bite when same waitress spill large beverage right behind me, getting my jacket wet and creating a large puddle of liquid and ice. Never found out what it was. Waitress told me it was ok - not even "I am sorry". It was necessary for me to stand up and move away from the table to allow then to clean up the mess. I had to find napkins on my own to dry my jacket. By the time they cleaned up their mess and I was able to set again, my food was cold again. An offer was made to reheat my food again, but I declined, the idea of a breakfast that was nuked twice did not sound good and the group I was with had finished eating. I was presented with a bill. I asked to speak to a manager. I was sent to the bar, where a women said she was the manager. Later someone told me her name was Kim. I explained what happen and her response was so, what do you want me to do? I told her I would not pay for food that was serviced cold, that I could not and did not eat, that a drink was spilled on me, no apology was offered for the food or spilling the drink. She did adjust the bill and stated there was no reason for them to apology. I paid the bill and left. As I was waked out the door, I heard the waitress callout "sorry" but not sure who she was yelling at. This used to be a nice place!

Great customers,great staff, terrible gambling manager. Continued for many weeks to take customers money for video racing game when the video would not play. The common sense solution would be to stop playing the game or fix the video.
