  This place is exactly as described by the other review. Drunk natural gas contractors running around like crazy. Hilarious atmosphere, worth a good laugh, and cheap drinks. The only down side is the smoking inside. You'll smell like a chimney when you leave.

  So the main perk (if you want to call it that) of this bar/grill is that it's the busiest bar in the area. Live DJ on weekends, dance floor, always a crowd, OK food, usually clean, good location. The bad is that it's well-known as a nuisance establishment. It has fights almost every night, numerous serious incidents (even a shooting and stabbing), and the bar itself has actually been urinated and defecated on. 90% of it's patrons aren't from the area because most locals refuse to go there. This used to be a great place a few years ago before the gas industry came to town, but now it's completely overrun by drunk southerners who could care less what they do because they're only in town for a short time. Their bartenders are rude and their bouncers are punks (who by the way are dressed in plain clothes, don't identify themselves, have zero experience/training in bouncing or security, escalate problems rather than diffuse them, and are not legally employed or insured by the bar). They cater to the out-of-towners, and will continue to serve them well past reasonable suspicion of severe intoxication in order to get bigger tips. Locals are treated like dirt, served last, and booted for silly reasons. The owners are typically in the bar drunk and causing problems themselves, and love the negative attention their business gets because it draws the crowd they want.
  Bottom line, if you want a hoppin' place, go here. If you want quality, go somewhere else.
