How can you go wrong with great beers, chill atmosphere, and FREE pizza on Mondays? I know one way: order the food. The service is incredibly rude and slow, as if they don't even care to have the few customers they get. I once waited over an hour for a simple sandwich (no special sides requirements or anything else), and when I finally HAD to leave and cancel my order the blonde bartender snarled and rolled their eyes at me. Then on top of it, the she played that petty game of taking her sweet time in getting my friend her credit card back, despite the fact that the place was virtually empty. I've seen them do it to other people too. Another time when I was there, a guy had the nerve to ask if he could order food 45 minutes before closing and the bartender cut him off before he finished talking , snapping that the kitchen was closed. When the customer pointed out that the 'Kitchen Open' light was still on, the bartender wordlessly turned around, turned it off, and smirked, "kitchen's closed now." Go for the free food, the bars and the pool table but order from that menu at your own risk!

Pros: FREE Pizza! Pool Tables! Old-School Atmosphere!

Cons: Rudest staff in town, Dirty, Awful Food
