  Reallllly don’t even know where to start with this place. I’ve tried to give it multiple chances, but after my last visit, I’m done for good. The owner, Jason, has one of the worst attitudes I’ve ever encountered. From the moment we walked in, it felt like we were inconveniencing him just by being there. No greeting, no professionalism—just a cold stare and short, rude responses when we asked simple questions about the menu. The service was painfully slow, and when the food finally came out, it was disappointing at best. My meal was barely warm, overcooked, and honestly tasted like it had been sitting out for a while. For the prices they’re charging, you’d expect at least basic quality control. The pool table area was honestly the worst part of the whole experience. It was completely overcrowded, with people packed around the tables and barely any space to actually play. Most of the crowd around there was clearly very drunk, yelling nonstop, using constant profanity, and acting aggressive. It didn’t feel like a fun or competitive environment—it felt chaotic and uncomfortable. What made it worse was that Jason didn’t seem to care at all. The behavior was obvious and ongoing, and instead of stepping in or setting any kind of standard, he just let it happen. It created a really toxic atmosphere where you couldn’t relax or enjoy yourself without being surrounded by loud arguments and disrespectful behavior. What really pushed things over the edge was how issues were handled. When we politely mentioned the food wasn’t right, Jason got defensive immediately instead of trying to fix it. No apology, no effort to make things right—just excuses. The atmosphere overall didn’t help either. The place felt unclean, tables weren’t properly wiped down, and everything just felt poorly managed. There are way too many good spots out there to waste time and money here. I won’t be coming back, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

  Walked into this so-called bar/restaurant last weekend thinking it would be a chill spot for a couple beers with friends. Big mistake. The place is a straight-up trap built around those annoying Pennsylvania Skill machines that dominate every corner and drown out any conversation. I ordered a simple lager – nothing fancy. It took over 30 minutes to arrive, and when it did, it was lukewarm with almost no head and tasted sour, like the tap lines hadn’t been cleaned in months. One sip and I pushed it away. The bartender rolled her eyes and told me “that’s how it comes from the keg – take it or leave it.” No offer to replace it or comp anything. The real kicker came when my buddy hit a nice jackpot on one of the skill games – printed out a ticket for about $180. He took it straight to the bar to machine to cash out, and the machines and staff claimed they “couldn’t verify” the win and said the owner handles all big payouts personally. The owner? Nowhere to be found. We waited almost an hour while they made excuses. Later I found out that the owner had a habit of convincing you to hold your ticket saying that since I scanned them, they were now losing tickets and that he would turn them into winning tickets or marking them as voids so he can pocket the cash himself. Apparently it’s happened to multiple people there. No wonder they push the machines so hard – easy money for them, zero for the players. Everything about the spot feels dirty and neglected: greasy tables, floors that stick to your shoes, and a bathroom that smelled so bad I almost gagged. Music was terrible, lights too dim, and the whole vibe screams “we don’t care about customers, just the machine revenue.” Overpriced drinks, terrible quality, shady owner who allegedly steals from winners, and zero accountability. This place is a complete scam. Save yourself the headache and the money – go literally anywhere else in Philly. I’ll be warning all my friends to stay away.

  I used to like this place for a quick drink, but after what happened last night, I’ll never step foot in here again. The “atmosphere” is just loud PA skill machines blaring nonstop while the bartenders ignore everyone who’s not feeding the machines quarters. Ordered a pint of their “craft” IPA – took forever to come out, and when it finally did, it was warm, flat, and tasted like it had been sitting in the keg line for days. Absolutely undrinkable. When I complained, the bartender just shrugged and said “kitchen’s slammed and the lines are backed up because of the skill game crowd.” Yeah, real professional. But the worst part? I actually hit a decent win on one of those Pennsylvania Skill machines – over $200 in tickets. The machine printed the ticket fine, but when I went to cash out at the bar, the guy said the machine was “acting up” and I’d have to call the company myself. Gave me a number that went straight to voicemail. Called three times, no callback. Meanwhile, they’re happy to take my money when I’m losing, but suddenly “technical issues” when it’s time to pay out. On top of that, I overheard two regulars talking about how the owner has a shady reputation for skimming cash from the machines and shorting players on bigger wins. One guy claimed the owner straight-up steals winning tickets when no one’s looking and pockets the money himself. Explains why the payout “issues” happen so often here. The place was filthy too – sticky floors, bathrooms that haven’t been cleaned in days, and the whole spot reeks like old beer and cigarette smoke even though it’s supposed to be non-smoking inside. Service was slow and rude, the beer is overpriced garbage, and the skill games are clearly rigged against players. Save your money and your time. This bar/restaurant is a total scam operation run by a crooked owner who cares more about lining his own pockets than actual customers. Avoid at all costs. Wish I could give it zero stars.
