Charging my car and figured I'd grab a quick bite and beverage around noon on a weekday. At first I was a little apprehensive about going in when I saw I was the only customer that didn't have a full head of gray/white hair. Ended up going in and taking a seat at the bar. The bartender-servers were so friendly and quick and made me feel welcome. Refreshingly very reasonable prices for food and drink. Fun dark old school atmosphere. Wondering what the crowd is like in the evening. Looking forward to visiting again..

This place is great! Don’t be fooled by its location in a strip mall. This is a iconic local hangout and sports bar. The food options were you classic bar food comforts. The spicy crispy chicken wrap was terrific. It was crispy, appropriately spicy, and not too heavy for lunch. The fries were crispy and cooked perfectly. There were plenty of TVs for any of your sports viewing needs. The bartender ladies were super friendly. Overall, if you’re looking for a local sports bar hangout then you can’t go wrong here. I’ll happily go back!

Excellent service, great selection and prices! Kinda off the beaten path but worth the visit. Lots of TVs, a stage, bar has two sides, ample seating, and parking in strip mall lot.

The regulars at this bar are absolutely wonderful. The staff is extremely friendly and professional and the food is absolutely wonderful. You have to be 21 or older to get in here but it's definitely worth the visit.

Food is always super yummy, no matter what you choose. Full menu, daily specials, weekend breakfast. Generous pricing. You won't find friendlier people, from the staff to the owner. An HB gem!
