OK I guess if you like stale beer, undercooked wings and don?t ever go to the mens room.

Went there for the first time (and last) to play in their poker tournament. At first I was pleased that the waitress immediately came over to me and asked for my order ? that was the last time I saw her without tracking her down.

I was pleased to find they served Sweetwater 420 ale on tap? dooh. The beer had a stale taste and after surveying the patrons and decor I realized the only beer ordered here is Bud. Speaking of stale, I think I was one of three people in the whole place that did not smoke. The air wouldn?t have been as bad if they had any kind of ventilation. The smoke just hung there and increased as the day went on.

Later I tried the wings which come in several flavors. I ordered mine hot and ?crispy? which I assumed meant well-done? dooh. They were decent sized and tasty but undercooked.

If you ever have to use the Men?s room you face a dilemma ? do you hold your nose to avoid the smell or do you hold your pant legs to avoid the ? inch of water (well, it was liquid of some sort) on the floor. If you can get past the filthy sink to wash your hands you will discover there are no hand towels.

Oh, then there was the poker tournament. Heck I won. My prize was a certificate for ?house cash? which 1) I couldn?t spend that day, 2) only good for the next six days, and 3) not valid for the wing special or any other specials? as posted on the small sign above eye level. Do they really think screwing you when you win is a good marketing strategy?

• Pros: none
• Cons: smokey, filthy rest room

Awesome service. Friendly staff and patrons. Great place for celebrating. Fridays trivia and Sat. Kareoke are a sure bet for a good time. Cheap pool.

Good finger foods too.
