Reviews
Great dive bar with amazing local musicians. If you get a chance to see Little Freddie King (turning 86 in July '26), do not miss it. He hasn't been playing for a while due to an accident, but still sings and, fingers crossed, he will recover the ability to play guitar. Great bar regardless, highly recommend if you want to go where the locals go for music. Plus, Vaughn's is right around the corner, another locals music hot spot.
Loved the atmosphere of this neighborhood bar. Stopped in for a random Sunday night show and was very impressed.
