Small bar that plays live music. Drinks are good and priced right. sound system was excellent. Bathrooms are newer and were clean at the beginning of the night. We would go back again.

Stumbled upon this hidden gem of a dive bar that offers live music! Just an interesting place to relax and have a drink. Highly recommend it.

Visited from Europe. We went in for a quick beer as we lived next door. However, while we were enjoying our drinks which we had paid for (cash only!) at the bar, a man approached us with an hat full of money, and wanted us to donate. He said he was the host of the evening, and the bartender confirmed he was an employee. We said we are not here for the full night, and the hat man was not happy - to put it mildly. He also let the rest of the guests know about it when we left. May I suggest at least reading a book about customer relations. Or maybe anger management...

The band was warming up, the place was filled with locals, Christmas lights were still strung up, and the Boston Bruins and Celtics were on tv. We happily chatted with the folks nearby, and enjoyed our drinks. It was kind of fun to stop here with my son, though it kind of made me feel old...

Really was a great experience - because the music makes it awesome!Theres a cantankerous bouncer taking cash at door , don't joke with him because he knows he can bounce you for anybody else dying to get in! Its a real mix of patrons .Crowd doesn't stop the moves on the dance floor!Motown band was off the hook!!And remember it's cash only !
