The bartenders are not only friendly but also quite knowledgeable, which makes for a great experience. And the best part? The prices are cheap.

Food is AMAZING! It was recommended to me by the hotel bartender (sean?) and was a little skeptical when I pulled up to the place. Dive bar written all over it. (Not a bad thing). Settled in with a cocktail and had the crescent City Hash. Mind blown, could not stop eating it. Had to go back the next night and got the boudin balls and blackened flounder tacos. Crazy good. Wish I lived in Corpus and I would be a regular. Keep it up!!!

Taco Tuesday is why we go. The fried fish tacos are the best. Fresh and spicy! The bartender we usually have on Tuesday is very friendly and knowledgeable with the different mixed drinks. Service is great. Background music is as loud as youd expect a bar to be but you can still usually have a conversation with whoever is next to you. However if youre calling in a to go order they might not hear your order correctly so check to go orders before you leave. In the small chance it is wrong or missing something they fix it so quickly that its not a big inconvenience at all.

The joint: Perfect little dive bar in Corpus Christi! Exactly what you need, dark lighting, chill bar staff, and love music on the weekends. There s a pool table for the sharks, foosball for the bros, and a couple of pinball machines for the socially awkward. Rounded off with a fenced in back patio area for all the schmokers ;) The food: We were pleasantly surprised at how delicious the shrimp and flounder were! Everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked dynamite. Great selection of beers. Bob Barker would put his stamp on this place because the price is right!

I thought i was gonna have a few more drinks so i gave her my card. Decided not to, she said we have a minimum charge do you want to pay cash? I said yes and payed cash with a tip. They still charged my card and added another tip. Lol Im just mad bc of the principal. shady

They also have a nice little selection of cold draft craft beers. We had the 5x5, which was delicious. The bartender was very friendly and helpful. I highly and heartily recommend this cozy little hole in the wall!
