You get one free personal pizza for every drink purchased! Decor is filled with odds and ends for your mind to be occupied. Bartender was friendly. Been here 2x in 2 days!

I stopped in while waiting for my table at Fonda. The owner was bar tending and seemed like a great guy who really enjoyed running a bar. A six point was $6 and include a free pizza. The decorations were awesome and I had fun looking at all … More

A small bar with really good atmosphere and nice people. The don't have a very big selection of beer but they have all types. You get a free pizza with your beer (a little but tasty) which is a selling point for me. A frozen Han Solo on the bathroom door and a pinball table... what else can you wish?

This is definitely a dive bar. We met some friends here. There were lots of board games, which one could play with friends in the bar. There was an over sized, huge movie screen with a movie playing. And the best part of the trip to this … More

Such a fun and low-key neighborhood bar that serves you a free pizza with every drink. Wednesday karaoke nights are the best and the MC is so nice and patient. Always a great mix of young and old, gay and straight, Slope and elsewhere.

If you are looking for a bar done right, no frills, just good time, that's a great neighborhood spot. And you may consider staying longer than expected...maybe because the AC is crisp and it's hot outside. Maybe the outdoor seating gives … More

Divey. No credit card minimum. Had the Yankees game on 1 TV and Star Wars on the other. 3 tables and stools on the wall opposite the bar and 2 tables on the floor. On the corner of a relatively lively intersection.

Splendid time! Coworkers and myself came here on a Wednesday evening to see a friend off onto new adventures. This place passes the vibe check with flying colors. The beer selection is great and the personal pizzas? Fantastic. I should really start taking more pictures when I’m out.

Just yes. $5 pizza that is insanely tasty dominos-y (I mean this in a great way, it’s just salty enough that it hits the spot in the best way possible). I genuinely feel like this pizza has been engineered because it’s so dang good. … More
