You Can’t Beat the Dive Vibes at These Atlanta Bars

"This neighborhood bar is a Decatur mainstay. For those in need of a cold beer and dive bar ambiance, Trackside’s list of domestics on tap goes above and beyond, as does its chill atmosphere. As for food, expect smoked wings, pulled pork sandwiches, nachos, and sausages served with chili and a side of collards on the menu here." - Eater Staff

While on mancation, we try and hit a few local spots to get a true representation of the city we're in, and we tried this bar on Thursday night for after dinner drinks. It has a dive bar feel which unfortunately doesn't play in it's favor as it's a bit too divey. The pool tables are very worn and don't work well, and only one pool cue had a tip. The locals were playing bingo and were clearly ultra comfortable in their environment. Unless you're a regular, I'd try a different place. On a positive note, some of our party did order food before we left and they said it was very good, especially the tater tots.

An amazing place. Very welcoming and conversations are good. After a few visits, I felt like family. Very diverse and the staff is awesome. Ive grown to love each and everyone of them. If you haven't stepped inside this dive bar, I encourage you to do so. You wont be disappointed.

I haven’t tried the food, next time I will but I am picky about the bars I go too and this place is definitely the type of Vibe I was looking for. I highly recommend this place. Everyone is nice and respectful. The bar tenders are AWESOME & the drinks are worth it. Great price and the atmosphere is incredible. Thank you guys for the great experience.

It's a dive bar. It's a really great dive bar. It's such a great dive bar I had to update my review. The food is better than it should be, the service is top tier dive bar service, the drinks are cheap, and they are open late. You can't ask for any more than that. I love them! They definitely earn their 5 stars with their true commitment to the dive. They even made vegan dive food! Truly impressive.

This was an extremely racist environment. People made it seem as if it was cool and inclusive but sadly to say my experience was the complete opposite. I simply asked the bartender the list of beers and they immediately got an attitude and was disrespectful to myself and my party. We were willing to spend good money AND tip, however, we ALL were alienated as to be from one party and that wasn’t the case. Everyone who wasn’t of the caucus race, was asked to leave the establishment. The bartender proceeded to call the police after being completely in the wrong and insulting my party and proceeded to have us all removed from the establishment. IF YOURE NON-WHITE!!!! PLEASE save yourself the time, money, and patience from experiencing what I experienced. This was outrageous to have experience in today’s time!

By far, my favorite dive bar on the east side. I love the vibe, they're open late, and the pub food is great. I always meet cool folks here.

I like trackside. Especially because it's open late as f. It's good food late too. Be careful about fights and overly drunk folks. Other than that it's a wonderful place! Moose and Mitch are the best bartenders.

This is not the kinda place one searches yelp for. This place is somewhere you stumble into cause nothing else is open. The beer selection is wide and the food is alright. The bartender Thursday night is a sweetheart. Took care of me and my guy. The patrons are friendly and this is cheers but not as preppy. The vibe, decor and everything around screams dive. Which I love but if your not comfortable with will be hard to swallow as they clearly are in their comfort zone. The only lost star is the mediocre food. But I would be back for the pool or darts or beer or the food since nothing else was open lol.

8:15pm 2/10/2023 My fiancé and I have been coming to trackside tavern for quite a while now, tonight was the first night we were denied service. We walked in and sat ourselves at the right side of the bar after about 10 mins the bartender approached us and very rudely asked for our ids, no biggie maybe she's having a rough night. We politely pulled out our ids in our wallet to show her. She rudely again said pull out your ids.. sitting here puzzled because our id are right in front of her, she proceeds to say take your id out of your wallet. Which also is not a problem, but the way she is speaking to us like we did something to her is just unacceptable. So I said to her that's not a problem at all, but I've never been asked to do that before and I come here often. She checks our ids then throws her hands up in the air and with an attitude walks away to the other side of the bar to take other customers order. I watch her continue to take and make orders around the bar, after she finishes she approaches us again and said what do y'all want? .... At this point I'm beside myself. I've never experienced this kind of treatment at this establishment. My fiancé asked her, are you ok? Are you just having a rough night? And she says to us "this isn't going to work out, y'all need to find somewhere else to go, I'm not serving y'all" Im sure if we were profiled because we are young or because we are black. Im not sure but this was completely unacceptable and extremely unethical. We are paying customers that come almost ever other week. For the nachos and smoked wings. I've never been treated this way at any establishment especially in Decatur where I was born and raised. We have been here casually seating at the bar for the last hour while being denied service while she throws back shots back to back. I wouldn't recommend this as a bad establishment but if this lady is working I would turn around. I honestly can't believe we were just treated like we were in a whites only bar in 2023. Not sure if she is just having a bad night or what the case may . The staff isn't bad like I said I've never been treated like this here. 9:15 2/10/2023 Anthony/Chris we would like to thank you for noticing that we do come in often. Sucks that we had to wait an hour before being served but we appreciate the service.

Stumbled across Trackside Tavern after being recommended to come here on a Sunday (when bars were closing before or by midnight across ATL) by a local bartender. I was happy we came here as there was 1) delicious and a variety of food, 2) plenty of space to hang, play pool, watch tv, and drink, and 3) a huge selection of draft beers and craft cocktails to have while you hang out. Outside area, in the back, was a chill spot too and a great way to meet locals and people who are hanging out. I ordered wings after midnight and they were delicious! My friends had a burger and fries and that slammed too. Definitely look at the board at the entrance for any specials on food and/or drinks. There are 2 sides of the bar so don't be shy and feel free to order your drinks or food on the other side if it is too crowded for you near the front. There is plenty of seating (booths) on the other side as well and is spacious. Loved that even though there were plenty of people hanging out and drinking that it never felt crowded. Definitely a spot to go to even if all other places are open and bumping. This is a cool dive!

Not from around these parts but found this little dive bar while waiting for an another bar. We ended up chilling here the entire night! Cold beer, good vine & amazing nachos!

Female bartender with short red dyed hair is so incredibly rude. I have returned to trackside 3 times and when she is there, I have a significantly worse time. Why does she even work here if she is so hateful.

I have been coming here for over seven years and the vibe is always chill, so long as you come before midnight ;) So long as you're patient, when they're busy, they take care of you.

I've been coming to trackside on and off every time I live in the area. It is my favorite bar mostly because it's a friendly vibe with bartenders and customers, and it's great drink prices. I always meet someone new when I go to this joint. Lately I've been taking the pups to the outdoor patio. You can get drinks outside, but because they allow smoking, you can't take food outside. That's Decatur law. But it really sucks, it's the only reason I can give it 5 stars otherwise. Josh has been my bartender primarily, and he is great at remembering drinks and what the food and drink specials are to help you make a choice. They have fun shot options, and a great beer selection, which changes routinely. This bar can be one for you to go to every week because you dig the people, and because you can change up your order! The food is great here! For bar food, I would say it's one of my favorites. I love the mozzarella sticks, and the nachos! It's great portions for the price. I've also tried the wings and they were great as well! There's parking in the back - or it's an easy walk from the square and away from the chaos if you need a break from the square!

Nearly walked out. Wish we had. I live in the neighborhood and my friend and I checked it out on a Sunday night. It was pretty dead, with all customers at the bar. The bar is literally split in two that are mirror images, where bartenders can walk to either side, but there are registers and drinks on either side. We waited about 20 minutes and watched the bartenders pass us many times. We were chatting and catching up, so it wasn't that noticeable to us at first, but definitely there was no welcome when we sat down. After a while, I asked my friend if they were still open because we had been waiting so long. The bartenders walked past us so often, but they did not look over at us or make eye contact, like they wanted us to leave. When people ignore you, they are usually telling you that they don't want to interact with you. Our catch up session ended and we started watching the two bartenders, trying to make eye contact. It's a small place with very few people there, so it probably was more effort for them to ignore us than to just get us some beers. The bar was all old white guys, mixed with some younger white guys. One of the bartenders, actively ignoring us, signed a guy at the bar's cast, which reminded me of grade school. We finally got drinks, but I was STEAMING mad. If I was not with my friend, I would have said something, but I didn't. At that time. Later, I notice that there is a guy next to me with take out. He has his take out and his credit card out. He looks sad. I ask him, "Are they ignoring you?" He says that he has been there for 10 minutes, the bartenders are walking around him, having conversations with others in front of his face, ignoring him, and he's still there. I tell him he should just leave and the service is ridiculous. I'll vouch for the guy. He's been there so long at this point, I think one could arguable reason that they just forgot if they paid or not. The bartender comes around again, and the take out guy, (a big gorgeous African American man who had no ring single Atlanta ladies btw) asks if he can pay. The bartender says, "What makes you think that you can't pay?" WOW They start yelling at each other now, like parent and child. It was both fantastic and awful at the same time. The bartender tells the customer that there are 40 people at the bar he has to take care of (this is not true, there were like 10 and he wasn't taking care of anyone, just seemingly tweaking running around and talking but doing nothing). Then the bartender says he isn't even on the clock, like he's doing this guy a favor Beautiful customer points out that no one is at the bar anymore. "The way you are talking is making people leave. Look! There is no one here!" I looked down our side of the bar, and the 3 people (which was everyone) at the bar had disappeared. The guy pays and leaves. It's like a victory. I clap for him in my head. We then are asked if we want another beer. Surprising! A minute later the other bartender asks if we want anything. Now we don't. It was bizarre. Will never ever ever return. Which seems to be what they wanted in the first place.

Definitely always thought this was a running shore store (the sign looks strangely like the Big Peach Running Co.) sign, but glad it's not! Great dive bar, huge variety of beers, and they heavy handed on the shot pours. We also ordered chicken nachos to tie us over and were shocked by how good they were--smoked chicken and fresh tortilla chips.

We came here around 9-ish on Friday evening, and there were only a few customers. We placed our drink orders at the bar. (NOTE: YOU CAN ONLY ORDER AT THE BAR. THERE IS NO TABLE SERVICE.) The bartender was friendly and promptly served us our beers. We asked for menus and ordered fried okra, fried green beans, hush puppies, teriyaki wings, and hot wings. We chose a seat and our food came out pretty quickly. I didn't care for the hush puppies and okra as much as the green beans. They were addictive and a little spicy. The wings looked like they were cooked in a crockpot and put into a broiler to crisp. They were sizeable and good. By the time we left, the bar was hopping, and people were playing pool and darts. I would definitely come back again.

Great wrap-around bar. Pool tables, darts. Interesting art work on the walls. Music is good (Rush, etc.) but not too loud. No service at the tables - have to order from the bar. Very good beer list. Food is good so far. Friendly bartender. I like it.

Stopped in for a quick drink. Great atmosphere! Very chill with a sports bar type of vibe. They have multiple TVs around the bar, 3 pool tables, dart boards, and a juke box! I'm a whiskey drinker, but even though I knew what I wanted; the bartender made Josh made great suggestions. They also serve food. I would visit again if in the area.

I really want to like Trackside. Great drinks, convenient location. But I can't get past the attitude of last night's bartenders. My friend was attempting to pay her tab. There was some confusion about which card she'd left. (She accidentally used her card that had her fiancé's name). They obviously couldn't find it. She gave a detailed description of the unique looking card. I saw it when bartender was looking through the cards and I spoke up. He looked at me, put card back and said he couldn't find it. Benefit of doubt. Maybe he didn't hear me. We told him what she ordered. Maybe he could find card that way. Nope. She's frustrated and embarrassed, he's understandably annoyed. The manager helps out and is eventually able to figure out that the tab wasn't under my friend's name. Before she could say anything, the manager slams the card and pen down and yells to the bar tender "she apologizes for causing SO MUCH TROUBLE." Then the bartender sarcastically says "thank you sooooo much for your apology." Note that she was trying to apologize but wasn't able to get a word in edgewise. They both go back and forth berating her. I understand their frustration , but what my years in F&B taught me, when 1st handed a card, you say "thank you mr/ms _____." That's the first check of having the correct name. Then if there's trouble finding card, you ask if it could be under another name. If he'd done that after I pointed out which card was hers, the whole ordeal could've been avoided. I've never witnessed bartenders ganging up on a customer like that before. Especially one who was calm and legitimately confused. A couple people at the bar told us this was the norm. After reading some of the reviews, I believe them. I hate saying this about a neighborhood institution that I've been going to for 10+ years, but never again.

So came in here for the first time on a Friday night and I ordered a Milagro Tequila with soda water and my partner ordered a cider. She received a "sour" (which is beer) and I was charged $15 for 1 (ONE) shot of milagro. My receipt read casa... now I'm no fool.. casa? Casamigos???? I did not drink nor did I order casamigos. The bartender a short older woman with a short bob type cut was the one who told me it is $15 a shot for the respasado milagro. The whole bottle cost $30. So I'm not stupid. I didn't feel like arguing because I have the funds my issue is the incompetence of the staff or more decidedly this one staff member. Either way will not be returning for the sh*tty service and the lies. What ever the issue is they had with us I'm not sure (gay/lesbian , black, idk) but I will not be spending my hard earned money with this place again. Very disappointed because I don't like to be cheated.

Im pretty young but am used to paying $8+ for drinks plus tips. This place has a good deal for $3 tall boys so im happy to throw on a larger tip. Unfortunately its very hard to tip bartenders who actively ignore you and only serve people they know/ people older than you. It pissed me off to see a bartender go down the line then skip me and my friends and start at the other end of the bar. Took me 10 minutes to order every round of drinks then probably 15 minutes to close out. People would walk up to the bar and within a minute be served while we still waited. Seriously go to other bars- brickstore is always friendly and will never waste your time plus they have an amazing selection. Only reason this place has a 2 star is because of the hours+ location.

Trackside is like going to Family Den, Reynolds, or Dating Game in Chicago without the smell, lol. They also got Pool Tables, Air Hockey, and Darts. The drinks are solid. The food is hit or miss. Sometimes the food is AWESOME with a capital. Other times its overcooked, dry, and way too salty. The bartenders are split between the most awesome sweeties like Chris, and the last shift crew who are nothing but racist assholes waiting on the south to rise again where women live the reality of the Handmaid's Tale and won't serve anybody not white and male a drink. But it stays open late. Sometimes people get into fights in the parking lot. Some have been robbed in the past. An occasional car crash happens at the light. The Latino security will target anybody not white and male for an ID check on Thursday to Sunday nights. Overall, if you miss a good old late night dive bar from the north, this is your spot.

Pretty good hole in the wall. Definitely has dive bar vibes, but it's a fun time. Decent sized outdoor area, 4 dart boards, and 2 pool tables make for a lot of fun. Open late which is great. Good bar food, affordable drinks. Service is decent--one of the bartenders is an expert at making you feel like you're wasting his time, but he gets the job done, so fine with me.

Trackside is what is is. I really have fun here. Bartenders are laid back but yet attentive. (No table service) Food does what it's supposed to do. Drinks are good. Crowd is friendly.. And plenty of activities... Darts, Air hockey, Pool... etc And they stay open late. What more can you ask for?

Who doesn't love trackside? It's the dive bar that you have a memorable story from even if you've only gone once. You have darts, you have pool, you have dim lighting, you have greasy food. There isn't any table service but it's good for all of us to get up and walk the 5 steps to the bar sometimes, working off those beer calories. Great prices, friendly staff, and great memories fill the building. They sell really cool local art on the walls! Downside: the bathrooms have an unforgettable smell that makes me die a little inside just thinking about it, smelled that way every time I've been there...

The Bartenders are jerks, the food is well... damn good and the clientele..well...they suck too. I hate this place. I hate giving them hundreds of dollars every month. I hate that they always get my drink right and everyone that works there is a decent human being....F'ing boils my blood!!! I'm so disgusted with this place that I will probably show up again on Thursday for Drunk Bingo with Bruce and the regulars that show their sucky faces there every time I STEP FOOT THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR. Oh...and the people that moved in the area and complain about how noisy the place is at a late hour..GO TO HELL! YOU SUCK TOO. I'll NEVER HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE HERE.... see you Thursday for Bingo and Darts. Scumbags.

The bartender Chris is a douche.... I came in on a Tuesday with a friend and from the very beginning anytime I asked for anything he would give me a side eye and a very sarcastic "sure, no problem" I laughed it off multiple times because I know how assumptions can be made.... I ordered 2 shots, and Chris seemed annoyed because I evened out the shots between my friend and I. He assumed we were upset because the shots were uneven but in all actuality I only evened them out because my friend doesn't take shots!!!!!! I wanted his extra liquor so I poured it in my glass!! He then rudely explained under his breath that he'd over poured us that's why there was a discrepancy in the shots EVEN THOUGH WE NEVER COMPLAINED OR SAID ANYTHING. He just assumed. We went on to try and explain there was no issue and again he rudely gave us a very sarcastic "sure, no problem" the night progressed and we are 4-5 shots in. We asked for another round and he brought us the check...... WE ASKED FOR ANOTHER ROUND. As I'm talking to my friend I tell him " regardless of the service I'm a good tipper" Chris then comes over and tells us he heard what I said and he heard that I would now only tip him 15%. I NEVER SAID THIS!!!!! I went on to tell him he heard wrong but AGAIN he rudely gave us a very sarcastic "sure, no problem" Chris completely ignored us from this moment on however my friend and i decided to continue to enjoy the night. We paid for our check and I politely wrote "I would never say that I wouldn't ever tip 15% :)" on the check but then Chris picked up the check, read it, and then proceeded to laugh hysterically and tossed it in the trash.......Even still, having gone through what we witnessed we still decided to patronize....so now I'm Obviously upset and speaking to my friend about how were being treated but Chris decides that I'm not allowed to be upset with his treatment of me and my friend (Who are the only black people in the bar by the way) And proceeded to take our unfinished drinks and ask us to leave while he called the cops. I asked for a manager HE REFUSED TO GET THE MANAGER. Instead he threatened us Even though we had done nothing but sit at the bar and pay our check. Two other employees surrounded us and began to harass us even though we were literally just sitting at the bar finishing our drinks (well a drink because Chris refused to give my friend back his unfinished drink that we paid for) Chris asked us to leave because he would not acknowledge that he was being racist and prejudice. He accused me and my friend and I of saying and doing things that we did not do. When we tried to explain to him that we did not do these things he was very dismissive and rude. His way of rectifying the situation was to ask us (The only black people in the bar) To leave, and embarrass us, all because he could not apologize for assuming we were upset. We were drinking Jagër!!! Who's upset when you're drinking Jagër????!!!! not to mention we STILL paid our $95 check and tipped him a $20 bill on top of the bullshit :) I'm not one to believe the hype but this bar caters to the Caucasian crowd and that's OK if that's your demographic, but I've been here twice and myself included I've witnessed the only African-Americans in the establishment treated hostly. The only ones they treat nice are the ones in the kitchen making the food.

A nice around the corner bar. Me and a friend went out to grab a bite and watch football. Bartender was a friendly rock star looking guy with great customer service. He had made the best long island ice tea I have every had so far... We order 3 items of the list to try (greedy) Gyro, Cuban sandwich and a club sandwich with fries. All Delicious! The only down fall was the ladies bathroom. The reason for the 3 Stars... Before you opened the door, you smelled this sewer oder which was really bad. I had to pee so bad that I held my breath before entering the restroom (can you imagine). Being that I drink water to balance my liquor I use the bathroom a lot. Not in this case, that one time visit was enough for me. I would really like to come back. Only, and I mean only if they fix the bathroom..

Come here to drink. It's a bar, and a non-pretentious bar at that. It's right by Agnes Scott College so expect some college students, it's a younger crowd. There are pool tables and tables out back to hang out. This place is really chill. Don't come expecting something fancy.

Immediately upon entering this dingy bar we were snapped at spoken very rudely to buy the owners and staff. Then when I opened a large tab the attitude shifted. However I was told that a drink I ordered would be substituted for another as it was not very good. Upon looking at my bill I see I was charged for both. If you don't mind being treated poorly feel free to frequent this establishment. A place for beer or not good cocktails.

One of my favorite bars around. Divey for sure, but a cool place to hang out and grab drinks. Prices are good and food is actual pretty decent (if you like fried food, try their fried pickles!). Their chicken fingers are the best in Atlanta - I swear. Staff are always friendly and I've always felt welcome. Come as you are type place.

I have never really written reviews, but I would like to say this bar is actually a health hazard. The bartender and bouncer are irresponsible as well as their cooks. The cooks have beards and don't wear gloves or hair nets over their beard. I also experienced them completely disregard the fact that one guy had hit his limit way before I walked in. His friends had to carry him on their shoulders and he was paying for everybody's drinks. This is usually when bartenders cut someone off, but no, the man continued to buy drinks and slowly but surely get wasted. Having spent nights shadowing in the ER, I have firsthand experience of how dangerous this is. People throw up in their sleep and die, but I firsthand experienced the scum of society when the bouncer and bartender asked me why I should care if someone is that drunk. Oh also, they allowed his drunk friends to drive him home even though they were so drunk they had to look for their keys in the bar. The guy couldn't walk for hours, and nobody seemed to care. This place needs to be shut down. Also, the food was garbage, waffle house even tastes better and they use a hose to clean their floors. I wish I could only give fewer stars.

Any bar that plays Sleep (Dragonaut/Holy Mountian) is good by me! Big ups to Greg (aka) Kim's brother! Great bar! Soon to be my new regular spot... 100% tips all day! -Dimitri

Trackside is our neighborhood bar. We love it here. The bartenders are friendly and courteous without being overly so, and they know how to make a good drink. We love the fact that the place is usually not packed, and we can take our time playing billiards or darts while getting sloshed. We also are music fans and their music selection is on point. Great beer selection too. I love the FAFATL artist collection showcase they have on their brick walls, I'm always tempted to spend all my $$$ on them when I go. The food we've had here has always been ordered while intoxicated, but even still I remember them to be yummy: - Greek gyro - Teriyaki green beans - Chili - Fried zucchini - Fried pickles Overall great bar, great atmosphere, great drinks, and great service.

I would like to preface this review by saying this is the first one star review I've ever made. I have worked in restaurants and hotels several years and am very understanding that you get busy and things happen that would impact service. I visited Trackside after a concert for dinner and sat at the bar. Heineken representatives were there offering a free tall boy can as a promotion and I got one, free beer right? They were nice and accommodating. Unfortunately, they were the only ones that acknowledged my girlfriend and I over the course of 20 minutes. The bar was not super busy or anything and wasn't peak hours on a Sunday night. The bartender and bar backs passed us multiple times while I was giving the "I would like service, please" look while not even getting eye contact. I'm not sure if wearing a blazer with a button up shirt would signal that I'm not cool enough to be there but that is evidently how this bar operates. My beard isn't long enough and I don't have tattoos. The owners and managers are losing money because I was willing to spend my hard earned money there. All you need to do is acknowledge me to let me know you'll be with me and I never got that from any employees. I will not be back to Trackside Tavern and would not recommend it.

@trackside_tavern BRAVO!!! Their wings are outstanding, their fries are out of this world, their pimento cheese dip is scrumptious, their hamburgers are delicious many of you know trackside as the hole in the wall bar and it still kind of is but their food has stood the test of time... just go already.. what are you waiting for?? Oh and for you youngins go later and catch a huge crowd. (I'm too old for that shit, but have fun and ask for mike or dan they are certainly the best!) I wish I could make it more often now a days

This bar seem pretty weird to me, the crowd is kind a hippie-ish and not to open minded to other ideas. The food was just ok. The games they have look pretty straight tho ;)

You're an idiot if you think this quintessential local dive bar isn't the shizz. You only get kicked out if you break the rules, the drinks are inexpensive, the food is good, and there's a wonderful lack of douchebaggery. I'd live here if my wife and child were cool with it.

Waited around 20 minutes to place my food order, kitchen staff told me as long as I placed by 2 I'm good. Tried to place order before 2 and bartender stated that they are closed early. I stated that the kitchen staff had told me that I can order by 2 and I've been standing here waiting to place an order, and the bartender stated it doesn't matter what they say, the bartender's have the final say. I use to be a regular. Now I'm a former.

I usually do not have an issue with this place, but lately I have been disappointed! Tonight I ordered food, but it was missing things that we get charged for and it did not seem to be a big deal with them!

The bartender sucked at customer service. The place has Mediocre food and drinks. You will have a better time and atmosphere at Twain's.

At first I wasn't very impressed with Trackside. It just seemed like your average local bar with a few pool tables and dart boards. But after a couple of visits, then actually eating a meal there, I've changed my mind. I like the service there, from the humorous bartenders to the snarky cooks that bring your food. Their wings were definitely hot (though I am a wuss when it comes to heat), but my favorite dish so far is the massive plate of fried zucchini spears (only $3!). Best thing yet? 1/2 price wings and free pool on Saturday afternoons. Yep, you can find me at Trackside.

Very good local spot. The bartender was great and the drinks were good. We ordered fried green beans (okay) and jerk wings ( too saucy and not enough flavor once you were past the sauce). Liked the atmosphere we will definitely try it one more time but order something different.

Great dive bar! Open late on Sundays and good food. Cheap beer and shots all around. Will be back!
