Bartenders were great! Kick ass drinks. Jukebox with app was fun to use and keep the atmosphere fun.

The vibe is always great. I used to come for trivia. The owners are super amazing and so are the staff. The prices are great and when I lived in Hammond this was a regular place that I would hang out and always felt safe even when I was alone. Being a single female at the time and being able to vibe with the other patrons and drink and feel safe enough to walk home alone at night, really speaks volumes about this place. I hope to visit one day again and say hi to Tina and everyone. This really is a Great place.

The bartenders and bouncer were completely cool with good conversation. Music plays all the time but you can also purchase songs on a very modern looking "jukebox". In my opinion, the music wasn't nearly loud enough, though. They have a good selection of craft and domestic beers on draft and in the bottle. From what I hear, it's a good place to hang and nonsense isn't tolerated by the staff. We're from out of town, and it was recommended. We enjoyed our time there.

Ryan is amazing, have been served by him many of times and he’s always consistent and interactive with the customers! I thought he was a manager/owner for the amount of attention he puts toward each customer. April has also been helping my friends and I out recently and she’s amazing as well! They make each customer feel like they’re the only one in there! Definitely check this place out, ESPECIALLY if April and Ryan are there!
