Haven't visited since the pandemic. When they shut down, they operated as a food pantry for those in need. I have a friend who works there and has always said they are solid employers. Will update my description after my next visit.
Pre-pandemic description: "This can be a wildly fun night out or a overly-crowded "get me out of here" kind of night. Worth checking out on Wednesdays or Thursdays. Good rock n roll djs in the front, taco truck in back patio."
