We have found our new favorite neighborhood bar! Small space, excellent service and they have daily specials. They also serve pretty amazing BBQ here, including other menu items. Several people have come in to get BBQ to-go during our visit, which prompted us to try it --- Did not disappoint, YUM! They also have Bingo here weekly and a DJ on Saturdays which is pretty fun.

Super crowded, but was able to find a table. Not a young adult atmosphere, more classic bar atmosphere. Staff was super friendly & helpful. Drinks were strong & really good! Heavy pour, which is what we are all looking for! Haha prices were decent. Vintage vibe atmosphere. Great for bar hopping.

Clean with good music. This bar offers inexpensive drinks with staple comfort food options like burger, fries, and bbq plate. Often visited by Congress Park locals, this is a great place to hang out on any afternoon. The restrooms are also clean and I love the industrial look of it. :)
