Love to go on $5 Highlander Burger day. Includes tots or fries!
Micheal GavorskiAugust 21, 2010Baked red snapper rocked! Jerk chilli even better! Jalapeño corn fritters did not disappoint!
The all you can eat crab legs on Tuesday nights is a great deal!
Great food. Great people. Say hi to Trey when you are there.
Patrick BellamyOctober 25, 2010Order the full alarm chili burger and a pitcher of the cheapest PBR in town.
David BrownJuly 1, 2009Try the shot called "Dry Rub." Only known by name here and only by certain bartenders One part Absolut Peppar. One part Au Jus. Up for the challenge?
James FerreiraApril 30, 2010Alkaline Trio, The Descendends, and Type O Negative on the juke box.. great place to be..
Zakia TiggsMarch 26, 2011i wanna try them out because i seen the place on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives
T-Dawg JankinsJuly 24, 2013Service was horrible! Tabitha was the server and I'm not sure if she was just having a bad day or maybe she just doesn't like black people. I will never WASTE money here again!
This place kicks ass... Darby, Darleen, Kelly... All the staff Rock.
Noha FathyMay 28, 2012The jerk chili was good. The corn fritters were fabulicious. The pastarella sticks? No thanks. They taste like frozen ones an come out cold.
Kurt NelsonJuly 15, 2010Will not allow anyone under 21 period, even on a slow night outside on the patio with 5 other people of age.
David Orland BrownApril 29, 2012Avoid this place. Terrible service, smokey (even outside) and hour+ long waits on your order.

Atlanta's neighborhood dive bar since 1992, serving 'gastro-punk' food and full range of booze all day and as late into the night that they let us.

"The full bar's offering an intentionally no-frills beer selection, including 420 on tap and Red Stripe/other standard bottles, plus tall-boys galore; you can also keep it classy with fishbowls."
