Our Guestbook
“ An intimate live music bar in the center of a small strip mall. Nicely decorated and good atmosphere. They have an excellent setup for musicians and singers. Friendly staff. The only drawback is they don't serve any food. Apparently patrons can order food from a takeout restaurant across the street, who will deliver it to the bar. They offer an open mike night on Thursday to encourage newer musicians. We will return! ”
“ Didn't rate the food because there isn't any This is a great place for live music The drinks are great too. ”
“ Had a wonderful time with friends. Drinks were good and the live band was awesome! Everyone was respectful and friendly. Lots of laughs and a good time altogether! The owner also allowed me to showcase some of my jewelry while I was there. Loved the patrons and the atmosphere. Will definitely be going back! ”
“ No food service but regular food trucks. ”
“ Visited the Til It's Gone food truck. I had the fish and fries, and my daughter had wings and fries. IT WAS AMAZING!! Everything was seasoned to perfection, right down to the fries. There was just one problem, after I finished my fish and fries, I DIDN'T HAVE ANY MORE!! I've decided I'm gonna be a Til It's Gone groupie, because I'm definitely going to be spending a lot time there!! If you're looking for a tasty, affordable meal while you're out and about, go show them some love! I promise you will not regret it!! ”
“ Great atmosphere. Mixed crowd. Live bands. Karaoke. Can bring your own instruments to play or use the ones at the bar. Fun fun fun!! ”
“ It's like the brown pelican at the previous location but with more space and an even better vibe. They just started serving food and it's super affordable and solid for the price. Almost daily live music and set up is great. Awesome drink and beer prices. Think 2-6 dollars for most bottle and around 6 for craft draft beer. Also nice that it has some parking options right outside. Owner was present and making sure everyone was having a great time. I will be back many times! ”
“ A great local bar with live music and a laided back atmosphere.Dog friendly! ”
