Cure little, "hole in the wall" bar with great bartender and fun crowd. Very nice backyard/patio both covered and not with a whimsical feel/vibe. We went on Karaoke night with another couple and the folks were personable and it would be great if we lived around the corner. We don't however so it wasn't as much our cup of tea (so to speak) but if you live in the area and looking for something different, it's a place to stop in!

I attended this place on a Saturday due to a recommendation from the nearby waffle House personnel. I had a very nice time and they had live music. I asked them where I can get a decent steak and they told me there on Tuesdays. Well they were not wrong. The steak I got there that following Tuesday was the best steak I've have ever had and I've had a lot of steaks. It was cooked to perfection, juicy, savory, and every other positive adjectives you can possibly think of. Price was amazing. I literally only paid 20 but I gave a 10-dollar tip so 30 for a damn near 18 Oz steak. Then on top of all that with the happy hour prices I caught a good buzz and only spent close to 13 or less not including the tip for the bartender. Now as for the bar it does have a biker bar appeal to it but then again I like that kind of appeal and an older crowd but once again I prefer that. Definitely going to attend this place as often as I can while I'm in town. Edit: I'm definitely going to miss this bar and if it wasn't for a change in my work schedule which sent me home a week sooner I would definitely be there for there Tuesday steak night. They have the best steaks I've ever had and if I ever find myself back in Texas I'm definitely going to come by and buy some rounds again. (Update 7 months later) This bar has not changed great ppl, great price on beer and I got to walk a dog for the owners friend, like seriously what more can a guy ask for and I got a free beer for doing it which I would have done for free lol.

Been going here for about a year. I have never seen a more friendly staff. There mindful , respectful, and very kind. I live right across the way. The first night I went there I had a little to much to drink which was apparent when I stood up. The bartender after her shift drove me to the place I stay on her way home just to make sure I was okay. I've been going ever since and I have to say I honestly feel like this bar is my second home. I traveled out of country recently and when most people get homesick they think of there parents or there brothers and sisters. I was missing the moon. Nothing better than a cold one and some tunes. Or even better kareoke on Mondays! If you go you will have a great time just don't forget to tip your bartender. And if you go on a Monday I'll probably be there so come say hi .

Kind of a secret whole in the wall place , but the drinks were cold and well priced, the back patio art is definitely worth a trip over to look at .

Great place to unwind. And have fun. You should definitely come out and enjoy yourself. Great management. The new owner is very cool, classy and runs a respectable place. Good music and good company. I will definitely be back. And hopefully I will see you there.
