Sports fans from all over the Valley pile in here to watch the big game in good company, though it can be slow on off nights. No ties here--just casual fun as you cheer your team on, talk sports or just hang out.
In Short Sports is the name of the game here. Those in the mood to compete can challenge friends to a game of pool, darts, foosball or shuffleboard.

I've been going here for Monday Night Football for years, the owner (a real character) does this awesome Sports Trivia Show at the Halftime where you can win a FREE beer, very fun, everybody gets into it. Cheap beer (beer/wine only), good food, great service (a mom & pop kind of pub), pool tables, darts and plenty of TVs. A fun local bar. Goodtimes had by all!!!!
Last time I visited the place, I ordered a pitcher of Bass. Instead I got a pitcher of Sam Adams. Since I have been drinking both of them for a while, the difference in taste was very clear.

Cheap drink, good food, tough-love service... And EVERY COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME YOU WANT!!!!!
