Cute little bar! Bartender was sweet, prices were good. Was $28 for 2 drinks, a shot, an hour of pool ($3) and a basket of mozzarella sticks which were great! Came straight from the fryer, nice and hot and crispy. Fun 90's style rap playing, definitely a throw back. Nice little enclosed patio area, street parking, two older but well maintained pool tables, plenty of video lottery, 1 shooting game, 2 pinball machines and 2 dart boards. Eclectic decorations featuring mostly stickers, graffiti and random signs probably found around throughout the years. We came on a Monday afternoon, about 6 other people inside that seemed like regulars...good vibes, dim lights and an overall cool little dive bar that we'll definitely revisit. Especially because it's the first I've been to in a while where the games, pool and darts aren't somehow all in the way of eachother lol...plenty of space here.

Three stars is generous considering how unfriendly the bartender was to me. They had a special drink of the day for $9 and I inquired about it, asking if it was a full drink or a shot. The bartender said it was a full drink so I decided to try it. But then I saw him fill a tiny glass with ice and I changed my mind because that would only be two or three sips. Literally the size of a shot poured into a small glass. The ice would fill the glass. Anyway, I made a comment that I'd rather have a beer because that drink would be done in three steps and he snarkily says "That sounds like a you problem". I walked away with my beer but I was equally disappointed that when I first arrived, I walked up to the bar and was ignored by him and not told that you have to line up near the door. It would have taken the bartender 2 seconds to point me in the direction of the line instead of letting me waste 5 minutes standing there looking stupid and feeling ignored. I ordered the tatcho - which it's normally has chili on top but this one just had some sour cream, olives and tomatoes. Probably good for someone else but I can't stand olives and so it was just tater tots with sour cream and a small bit of tomato, after picking the olives off. I knew better than to complain because the grumpy bartender probably would tell me it was a "You problem" and make me pay for both that and the next item. I wasn't impressed with this place and probably would not go back, but my friends had a good time. Mostly because they played video poker and sang karaoke, neither thing which I do. Anyway, I've been in the food industry before and we can all have it off night so hopefully this bartender is a nice guy was just having a bad evening.

Pretty cool neighborhood type bar that has plenty of seats inside and an outdoor area. They have billards tables and video poker machines. They have a good selection of draft beers and specials. The drinks are nice and stiff, which is also good. The bar menu looks like something I wouldn't mind trying next time I visit.

It's a dive bar, right? So my review and rating is based on the fact that it's a dive bar and I knew it was a dive bar before I walked in. These one star reviews because people don't like the place because it's a dive bar tend to irritate me. When I go to a Chinese restaurant I'd don't write a one star review because they don't have a veggie taco item on the menu. So when a dive bar turns out to be a dive bar experience exactly what were you expecting?First time I went in there I thought it was an Irish bar due to the O'Briens sign out front. I'm OFD and Irish bars are legendary for having great food, cold beer and "colorful" clientele. This place is not much like the typical Irish pub. Not a complaint, just a statement of fact.Good place to drop in for a brew. There are waaaay better pizza options in town but as others have commented, the scent of a pie in the oven does make you want one if you show up hungry.This is not a Biker dive bar and I am always easily twice the age of the next oldest patron in the place. The Brooklyn district is an interesting and very diverse area of town. I don't have a lot in common with most of the residents (and I'm sure it's visa versa) but from my limited experience over that way they mostly seem like nice, friendly people. I patronize several businesses over that way and I do like it over there. Way better than my own neighborhood which is mostly pretentious stuffed shirt yuppies and more money than brains geezers. Suffice it to say that I don't generally engage people in conversation when I'm in a bar but the patrons there seem like they are probably ok. Staff has always been fine but again, it's a dive bar so a friendly, helpful, efficient babe tending bar is a plus, not an expectation.I'm not really a darts/pool guy but they have all of the usual dive bar accouterments there if that's what you're looking for. As for me, I'm happy sitting quietly looking out the window and enjoying a cold Colorado koolaid. It's dark and can be noisy but it is what it is.Ample parking especially if you show up on a motorcycle and so far no one has said anything to me when I park my Harley up on the sidewalk close to the front door.

Nice little dive. The smell of pizza that smacks you once you enter is almost more intoxicating that their friendly pours. Went midday and it was a very chill vibe and had our favorite pinball machine (KISS). Will definitely come back.

First time here having a drink before a show and this place is run down. The bartender was fine but a different employee was rude to my boyfriend regarding their WiFi password. Very unkept I would be embarrassed as a owner of this dump. Wouldn't recommend this place

I've been coming here on and off for 3 years and it's never a good time. Shitty bartender with short guy complex as a complete d*ck when you try to order. The whole venue has last minute AA meeting venue for teens vibes. The bathrooms are DISGUSTING... like you guys aren't that guy bro, clean your business and step up your customer service. I was a bartender for 5 years, there is a huge difference between "dive bar" and a neglected, washed up fire hazard. Go to Brooklyn Park Pub down the street instead folks!
