"The vibes! All the good ones! The atmosphere is impeccable dive feeling Awesome super l9ng bar, cool cozy curled booths, Hightop tables. Pool tables and a stage! It was quiet when we were there. The patrons who were there were just chilling, no one was super drunk or belligerent. The drinks were perfect. I had a rum and coke, and my husband had an Arnold Palmer. Both our drinks were the perfect size and mixture. Then there was the food. I absolutely knew the food was going to hit. My husband got a Sonoran doh, abd I got a black & Bleu burger with fries. Y'all. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that was the most perfectly juicy, a little bit crispy burger I have ever had. We plan to return regularly."

"Great bar for good eats, typical bar games and a great outdoor space for big groups and parties. But low key enough for the dive bar experience to share those drinks and stories with friends and families."

"Been there enough times since moving to Coolidge 1 year ago (50 times) to know this place is the best in town. Very friendly staff, very consistent service and high food quality. A lot of door dash going out, which to me speaks volumes. Plenty of parking and a wonderful back area for kids to toss a football, basketball even badminton or volleyball. I have been reluctant to post this review as I hope it doesn't get spoiled by popularity. sometimes the event like comedy, a sax player, sports and reserved parties make this place a "must check out" Coolidge place to be!"

"Brought my daughter here for lunch a few Mondays back because she wanted to try some of the food they had posted online. We ordered the lime shrimp and some appetizers and it was delicious especially considering it's a bar and they don't have a full kitchen. I'm not much of drinker either so I rarely visit bars but the food is good and there atmosphere alone is enough to bring us back. The set up of this place is awesome inside and out front and back and has a lot of potential for fun with all the different games, activities and sections throughout the place. Also as far as bars go I'd consider this place kid friendly. I had a nice conversation with the owner who is really interested in providing her customers with a good experience and this place has a lot of potential so for the sake of a small business owner and the people of Coolidge I really hope this place thrives."

"Love the atmosphere and the people seem nice , But not paying $5 cash to enter the door… Can’t even charge my card? i’ll come other than Saturdays then and just go home…. Saturdays are good if you wanna be there all night but if you just wanna stop by for a quick drink go a different day or expect a entry charge"

"What a hidden gem! Locals should take advantage of it and anyone going to Phoenix or Tucson needs to stop in Coolidge to go here. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was so cute, and the drinks were perfect. Highly recommend!"
