We both used to work here for many years. It's our home bar, we're still friends with all of the bartenders and owners. 16 Draft beers on tap, events in the back room include live music, comedy, and karaoke. They also have TVs so on game days, it's a great place to watch American Football and other sports. It is also vegan friendly for snacks.

Okay... this is a fast food chain... but they do great authentic Fried Chicken, and I love it! The spicy chicken sandwich is a favorite, as are the tenders, but it's hard to go wrong here.

Blockbuster films, some art house films, but if you want to see a mainstream film, you don't need to go into the city to do so. We see most of our films here, unless we go to Nitehawk.
