Erinne matte daniels
2 years agoGood food and drink at reasonable prices. One of the only places open past 10pm in NR. Pool tables and darts are available. Love their potato skins!

4 years agoI'm a bad news first kinda guy: I wish the parking was better. Aside from that, this is a terrific place! The food is absolutely incredible, even more so when you consider this is a bar! TV's on nearly every wall.. Yeah, it can get busy and you have a little delay in food times and what not, but I'm not looking for perfection, again, it's a bar. The staff is friendly, even if you aren't drinking (let's be honest, some places resent your presence when you aren't having alcohol). And it's clean.. Clean like you want a place to be.. oh and try the steak tips, delicious! I posted the above in 2014 and I’m updating the review to say, while the parking lot is definitely not changed, I had the opportunity to visit recently, about a month ago, so August 2021. And the steak tip salad is still amazing… The service was phenomenal. So if you have any interest in getting some great food with a great atmosphere, I strongly recommend you give this place a try. Even seven years later

year agoThere are sports bars and there are SPORTS BARS! This place has all the memorabilia from all 4 Boston sports teams and it's definitely a big Boston Bruins sports bar. I had the Bruins buffalo chicken and Bleu cheese sub. Just awesome, my friend had the pastrami and we both were impressed. Stop by soak it in, eat something from the menu and have one of the many great beer offerings. You won't regret it.

5 months agoIf you love a local dive bar like I do then woot woot ! Bunch of tvs , pool tables , golden tee , gambling and the steak and turkey tips SLAP !! DO IT !!

2 years agoThe food is very good, better than most sports bars. Service was good, again, probably better than most sports bars, but I do feel like the waitresses have hard lives, work hard and it definitely trickles into customer service. I wish they were a little bit happier, and not overworked. Consider tipping a little better if you do go here, they do deserve it. The atmosphere is dated , but it is a small town so that's expected as well. Big parking lot . It gets very crowded and very loud after dinner. We couldn't talk to each other due to very loud crowd at table next to us and actually cut our night short when we wanted to stay. Overall I recommend and will go back, maybe plan on getting in and out before 7pm if Thursday, Friday or Saturday.

year agoFirst: Janelle was extraordinary as a server. Second, you won’t find better steak, turkey, and chicken tips on north shore. And for under $2 a side salad that is almost a meal in itself. Hidden gem in NR.

6 months agoProbably the best Philly cheesesteak I've ever eaten! 😋
Alex Studd
4 years agoThis is my kind of place!! A locals only, no thrills dive bar with outstanding bar food and Keno! What else would you want? There is nothing pretentious about this place, and it's welcoming to everyone. I would highly recommend this place, and I'll also say this: the wings were excellent!

5 months agoHad a combo tip and sausage with fries. The food was hot a delicious.
Mike Simon
year agoWhat is not to like about this place. Steak tips are so tender and very flavorful! Service, I felt like a regular. Not just the staff, but the patrons too. It felt like a place you belong. If you are in the area, you must give it a try!! And let me not forget the staff, wow. On top of everything. As an out of towner, they are awesome in the welcoming someone in to their place. Janelle who took care of me was so attentive and welcoming. Cheena backed her up without missing a beat. Both were so welcoming and as a person who is on the road a lot, that is the best!
