Loudest frickin' juke box on the planet! 5/18/2009

If your idea of a good time is cupping your hands around your date's hear so she can hear you above the juke box, then you've come to the right place. Every time some drunk idiot goes ""woooooo, I love this song!"" the volume goes up to the point where it's actually opressive to be in there. Too bad. They have some good bands but when the band takes a break and the juke box gets louder than the band was, it just plain stinks. People need a little break form the racket! Pros: good bands Cons: it's pretty dirty more

Nasty 1/22/2009

Very dirty to start with. The bartender had a chip on her shoulder. I dont know who gave them an award for best anything because I was wissed that i drove into the middle of nowhere for the service that i got. I ordered a medium burger and it was still raw on the inside. the bartender natalie? gave me an attitude because the cook didn't know her butt from her elbow! Not recommended and i wont go back even if they pay me. I heard from a couple next to me that it used to be good but took a turn in the fall when they switched owners. Pros: the customers were friendly Cons: its dirty, not organized and the staff is not customer oriented more

Unprofessional management, rude wait staff 11/8/2008

We used to go to this place alot. Then management changed and it's got a really bad vibe now. It is very dirty and the bathrooms smell of urine. The waaitress we had was very rude to us. Our order was wrong and when we told her about it she gave us an attitude which left us very much feeling like our patronage was not appreciated. The manage on duty was drunk at the bar and we had the feeling like we had walked into a middleschool classroom with no teacher in charge. We are sad to say this once great bar is now a mess and is not recommended. Pros: Prices and music Cons: Management and cleanliness more

Great time 9/17/2008

We ended up at this place when our car died about a mile down the road. Now I know that everything happens for a reason. We walked into an amazing band and a great crowd. The food was very good, not what we would expect for a bar. I had a quesadilla and my boyfriend had a steak. We shared the best chocolate cake EVER for dessert. The staff was friendly and courtous and the service was very quick considering there were alot of people in the bar. We intended to stay till my mom picked us up, but talked her into staying too. Pros: Everything! Cons: A bit far from home, but worth it. more

Excellent Tequila bar 10/6/2007

Danyel is the best bartender around. Not only did I meet the woman I am crazy about there but they serve dirty penny ale and I got my laptop fixed by one of the patrons. Terrific patio and fireplace, burgers are awesome. The owners Chris and Michelle are always around to chat. all around atmosphere is great. Pros: all around good time, cell phone signal Cons: cell phone signal more

BEST RIBS IN CT!!! 7/10/2007

The staff couldn't be friendlier and the food couldn't be better. Very relaxed, like hanging out with friends. The drinks are very good and the prices are excellent. The weekend entertainment is top notch. Pros: Food, price, atmosphere, entertainment and staff are all excellent. Cons: I can't think of any more
