Chris CMarch 13, 2013When I checked in on FourSquare at Hard Times Cafe, it said that I received a special offer of Free Nachos for being my first check-in there. Wow! FourSquare and Hard Times Cafe Rocks!
Elaine BerryMarch 11, 2015Blues music is good. Nice beer selection. They're coming along on their tequila selection. :-)
Edna GarcesApril 15, 2013You must try mixing 2 or more of the chillies. We did the Veg & Cincinnati mix on our nachos. Fantastic!

Andru-Scot SpanglerFebruary 24, 2016The bartender could've cared less about the patrons there, except for some young guy at one end of the bar. Sad! She would've have been tipped better had she paid attention.
