Not only was this place clean nice hip and quaint it has impeccable staff, and if you like to play the slots you need to go there trust me and on Sundays they have $3 mimosas you get your own OJand your own little bottle of champagne I think that is amazing for $3 best deal on the northwest side in my opinion and I've been to a lot of upscale bars and I've been to a lot of dive barsI need to penny-pinch because well that's no one's business but with that being said, I give this place nothing but great reviews!- as long as you play slots you pay for nothing but alcohol obviously and please tip the staff properly20-25%percent is how I was raised that's why I have not been back because I do not have the cash flow right now and if I cannot tip properly I will not go somewhere that's just how I was raised!!!!! You don't even have to gamble you could just go there and enjoy the nice setting 😊❤️😉 and the great serviceas I said no please don't forget to tip the young ladies that are working there because as a former hostess waitress myself that is how we make our living!!!!!! #checkitout

The place is a cozy gaming lounge where you can gamble and have fun. The staff are always helpful even on days when its slow. There was one lady who swears up a storm and didnt ask for my ID and gave me lip the whole time. All i know is her name started with a the letter T.
