JennOctober 9, 2011Cheap, no frills drinks. A dive bar at its finest. Great outdoor area that is perfect for hot nights, cold beers and an indoor area with Ms. Pacman and a punching bag strength game. Great beers!!- Cow GoddessMay 25, 2011Love it! It is like a combination of Lee Harvey's meets Cosmos. Had a veggie hot dog Fri night that was AWESOME! New place for me to go for Art Car Weekend. If you are from Dallas, you will get this.
