"Heights through and through. This little bar is mostly outdoor patio. It have a fun and friendly vibe in a dive bar setting. The live music and dog appropriate setting is a welcoming environment. Also a bonus is when they have the BBQ vendor there. Delicious food goes well with a fun place. Check it out."

"Great atmosphere. Inside is dive bar, but twinkle lights add a friendly touch. Nice patio with good music. Plenty of heaters for when it's chilly. Staff was very friendly. They have a food truck of crawfish."

- Justin R.

"Awesome beer selection, friendly, kind and fun bartenders and an awesome crowd! Right now (Feb 2022) they have crawfish nightly Thursday - Sunday. Right now they are tasty but small, but that's to be expected in February. The bugs come with awesome spicy sausage and potatoes."

- Heather R.
