Step inside, and you’re instantly embraced by an atmosphere that feels like an extended family reunion. As many longtime patrons attest, the energy here is infectious—largely due to the passionate ownership and the magnetic personalities like Tina and Pam behind the bar.

    Tina is an absolute DOLL!! I love this woman's energy, and her obvious love for what she does!! Walking through the door is like entering narnia, the whole vibe is like instant family, warm and welcoming and makes you never want to leave! I am addicted to their garlic hot tenders, but i have never been disappointed with anything i have ordered, its always delicious! The pudding cups are always delicious, and ask what the current special drink is because its ALWAYS delicious! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

    Got to try a drink before they put it one the menu. PAM and TINA are borderline ethereal in how survive and they always do wonders here. Queen Bee honey whiskey with a dab of sour and grenadine *may not be aviable outside of Halloween party* but top 5 shots ive ever taken and I dont do dark liquors. But this was lovely

    Fun, unassuming bar with fantastic drinks, pool tables, fun karaoke nights, a friendly & attentive staff & appetizers & meals that are worth the trip! Casual atmosphere and a great place to relax & chill with friends. My go-to drink is the Hippie Juice! For food, the Irish Nachos could feed a small town in Ireland...or anywhere for that matter. It is the best! I highly recommend the cheesy fries & the buffalo bleu burger.

    Our bartender Tina was fantastic! The drinks were great and our food arrived quick. I can see why our friends always recommend Michael's. We will be too!

    Best bartenders, 3 very nice pool tables, tons of table games, everyone is very friendly. The have pool league most week nights so if you going here for that try for fridays and Saturdays alternatively get there earlier on the week days I think league starts at 6 or 7 pm

    Looking for a place near to where I was staying. Picked it out of Google maps because it stayed open till 1am. Glad I did, Pam the bartender was attentive and had great customer service. Went there the next day and she remembered my name and what I drank. Great local bar.
