Warm and friendly atmosphere with the Motown sounds flowing along with notes of rhythm and blues on a Saturday night. The kitchen is open for fried chicken and fish which you can savor on the patio or at a table. This bar is pulsing with excitement on Friday night; standing room only and parking gets expired around 11. It's small in size but big on entertainment. Cash bar of course.

A great place to let your hair down at. A family owned business for 52 years and the professionalism and customer service confirms why they have stayed open this long. You will love the music, food, and drinks all for a price that will keep you coming back.
