  When the first thing you see is a sign on the door that says: "No bandanas, no sideways baseball caps, pull up your pants" you know that some folks in Wilkes-Barre long for the days of Jim Crow. Other than that, not much distinguishes this overly loud neighborhood bar. Way too many TVs for such a tiny place. The attached pizza shop has some decent wings/pizza/subs.

  I've been here more than a few times.  This first thing to note is how smokey it is.  Downstairs and upstairs.  I hate waking up in the morning after having been here.  Other than that, I have nothing bad to say about this bar.
  
  The staff is very friendly.  Great for watching spots.  They have plenty of TV's.  The food is excellent.
  
  On certain days, you're able to reserve the upstairs for parties and events, which includes a bartender, for a fee.

  Don't waste your money in the jukebox. It will be skipped by the bartenders - and blamed on the owner wanting to hear something else. This place is a South Wilkes-Barre establishment - otherwise I would have dropped it down to about 2 stars. The food isn't all that great either - but they do try to improve their menu regularly.

  Best corner bar in the WB!  You must try the cheesesteak....better than Philly.
