We initially went in because the sign said they had a shuffle board table and we spent the evening there. It was mostly locals but everyone was very nice. My husband played pool all night and we had a really great time.

Cold beer, descent service. Bartender kept going outside to smoke, so had to wait on occasion for the next round to be served.

It was a nice stop but we went for a late lunch and found out they don't serve food til after 5 p.m. but they can call a few other places and have them deliver to them. Prices were not bad for the area. Just a nice little stop to relax for a few in a classic dive bar.

What can I say, I liked the place. Full of locals with party spirit. When I'm in Estes Park, I'll have another drink there and dodge the "Karaoke Scene" down the street. Laid back bartender never missed a beat.

Oh yeah! It's the place we hit every single time we go. It feels homey and the bartenders know how to make whatever you want. They are also friendly and we get into conversations with them and the locals each time.

I went here with friends for cocktails on a Friday night. There was billiards, television, classic rock playing and loads of locals. The drinks were strong and not too pricy. The service was good and friendly. You will get a taste of the local scene in Estes Park.

Little behind writing my review and I probably never would have except after reading other reviews I had to clarify one thing. They don't serve food, at least when we were there. We were given a short list of places that would deliver to the bar, but that isn't what were looking for and in our opinions was not cool.... More

This was the typical, guy bartender who ignores the lady in her 50's and skips over her several times to wait on the younger gals that came in way later than I did. (I'm the lady in the 50's, and I'm the one that did not tip the bartender.-Guess he likes the young ones more than the ones with the... More

We love going here after a fun and tiring day on Rocky Mountain National Park. You can go in and get you a special drink and take it out on the deck and relax and sT h the world go by

Great service and great friendly patrons that make this bar a must do when in town. There's a pool table, a shuffle board table, and a cyber juke box. Clean bathrooms and good music. Enjoy! Nuff said.
