This bar often has a bonfire in the back that makes a great atmosphere. Prices are reasonable and bartenders are friendly. It gets the 5-stars for free dart playing on decent boards and the best boiled peanuts. They also have always alcohol free cocktails on the menu for the driver.

I like this bar. Good people go here. Indoor/outdoor seating. Trivia every Wednesday. They host other events too
