Great place to see music. Cornbread Harris and his band are fantastic. You’ll find him on the piano surrounded by the band as you walk in the door when they play there. There’s a small stage in the back for bands as well. Beer and drinks are good and you can grab a pizza if you get hungry. Friendly crowd and fast bartenders.

Went to watch the Newcastle vs Spurs game here with the Minnesota Spurs. Great crowd and a variety of TV screens to watch the game. Great venue to watch a Spurs game when in town and a short walk from the Metro.

Heggie's pizza. Not fine dining, but it helped soak up the booze. Love the Grape Vape drink. Bartenders are phenomenal. I attended a festival for a beloved community member on the patio, and it was one of the coolest experiences ever!

I was there for Saturday Caterwaul, wonderful hole in the wall bar atmosphere, like if I was still a drinker and lived in the area this would be my bar of choice. Incredible outdoor open air space for bands to play, I had a great time here. I can't say enough good things about this place.

1st, 3rd, and 5th Monday (“Mooonday”) of every month is karaoke I believe. Affordable drinks. Dress up like a farm animal on any of those dates and get a free drink (I think lol)

Man oh man, if you like little neighborhood bars lots of flair - hundred year old looks - then this is the place for you. Hamms on tap - oooooh that’s as close to heaven as a man can get. Tonight there’s a smooth live jazz band that’s what I needed to hear. Highly recommend this place.
