“ A MUST Visit downtown Fargo, a classic bar ”
“ I love the Happy Hour... Lots of free drinks go out during happy hour. Wish that they had a pool table. I like the afternoon crowd, and I like the nostalgic interior... Don't get me wrong here, its a dive bar, and you should expect nostalgic dive bar interior. ”
“ Great staff, pizzas, alcohol, darts, big buck, and places to sit. The best part, though, is you with your friends! ”
“ They always have friendly staff, the also are a staple establishment of the downtown always very colorful people in and around there. If you want to see Fargo from a real life perspective this is the place. Not for the weak and easily frightened. The liquor store closes at 11, unless you know somebody..... But the bar is open regular bar hours and I love this place they don't ask questions and you will quickly know if you don't belong there.. not a sporty fancy dancy place, but the game will be on.. ”
