“Sarah was bartending and she made this place special. She truly included us like she had known us forever. She also had a great knowledge of bartending and mixes the best drinks! Go for the Halloween theme, come back for Sarah. 💜”

“Great bar! We were in town for the Halloween and attractions tradeshow, Transworld. We were so glad we found this bar. It's decorated with horror memorabilia. If you are attending the convention, you may need to Uber or drive here. It's worth a visit! The bar bouncer was a dog that greeted us at the front door!”
