This bar was clean and unbelievably cheap compared to any other bar I've been to. Plenty of Tv's and a pool table to keep you entertained. It shouldn't matter but for those who appreciate a good looking bartender, Bingo! The blonde bartender Lexi I think has a smile that hypnotizes you to stay right there!

Loved it. Not to busy but allowed me to recognize the live music on a Sunday night was awesome. Got to hear a youngman named Anthony Garibay and he is incredible. Thank you to my ol'pal bartending past co-worker from the Midnight club Josh for allowing him to give his music a chance in the bar on your shift. He is very talented on the guitar and we now kinda sort of follow him when he plays and are probably some of his biggest promotors just by normal conversation with people we know and cross our paths of conversation. Also Josh is an awesome and talented bartender I miss working with and was the reason for my last visit. I usually have stopped there later in the morning early afternoon but was pleased with the night as well.

I'm from LA, but whenever I am in the area, I always have to stop by. Everyone here treats each other like family it's one of my all-time favorite bars.

I haven't went out in a long time but i will go back to the Establishment. They had a nice mixture of ppl and Kareoke. I had a blast with my Mom. I even ran into ppl i had not seen in a long time. If you want to get your groove on you must go.

My favorite place to be! If you want to feel welcome then this is the place... but do not go there if you're going to be rude or disrespectful to staff OR other customers... but that should go without saying #DontBeADouche you will be 86'd quickly... the owners want customers to feel comfortable and accepted If you're a Raiders fan like I am you'll be happy... the owner as well as a lot of customers are fans... when football season comes around they have Sunday breakfast while you watch the game... RN4L!! I love this bar
