Good bar. Feels like a neighborhood pub. It's sits alone (no other businesses around) near the Clearview/I-10 hood. Terrific Open Mic on Wednesday nights. It's a good vibe. Friendly folks eager to hear the music. It's all kinds of music too. Players come from all over town. Extensive grill menu and food is nicely presented pdq. Live music Friday nights. I'll go back!
Always fun for Sunday night karaoke. Monday's Jam Night is awesome, you never know what musicians or singers will show up.
