The entire place reeked of urine upon entering. We went here on recommendation after asking around for live music on a Saturday night. There was a 10.00 cover no big deal but as soon as you walk in you get abraded with 40 grit piss smell. Then asked for a cover. We hoped it was just the entrance but it was the entire place. We cooked down a beer somebody literally lit incense and it was better for a bit. We got a 2nd beer to try and justify the uber more than the cover then left.

The bartender had an awful attitude and looked like they just got done working out and decided to be a bartender for the day... One of the faucets in the men's bathroom sink broke off as I turned it on, The drinks were over priced for the quality. The sound system looks and sounds like it was picked up at a garage sale. There is no proper stage or stage lighting, the pinball machines were nice. The food looked like your standard frozen deep fried bar food. Nothing spectacular.

We saw this place on our way to a bar and wanted to check it out. We stepped in and realized it was a music venue too! We came in early enough to get in without cover, but the space is really nice and has pinball machines. I'll have to come back when they have a band on because I bet this place gets packed. Really cool spot!

BANDS- DO NOT BOOK YOUR SHOW HERE. They canceled a show with less than 48 hours notice. Band members were en route from thousands of miles away. The bar manager could not be any more unprofessional. Book elsewhere!

A friend and I showed up here last night on a whim. We knew the name from back from the Bancroft Street days. It's pretty much a dive-ish bar, but that's not a bad thing at all. Most of the beers on tap were from Inside the Five (local brewery in Sylvania). We got very lucky - it was Jazz jam session night, which was a pleasant surprise. It started off with a bassist, drummer, and French horn on the stage (yes, I know, French horn in jazz?) As time progressed they were joined by a pianist, saxophone, violin, and flute. There was also this cool dog that belonged to the fiddler. She would wander around looking for attention, and she would occasionally take a nap on the stage (amidst the loud music), or spend excessive time sniffing an amplifier. All good fun. I really miss the jazz scene, since Rusty's in South Toledo shut down. It was very cool to see this place keeping the local talent alive. I highly recommend you learn about their scheduled, Monday night jazz sessions, and pay a visit to the Ottawa Tavern!

Awesome place! Definitely one of the best bars of Toledo especially for shows. Food is amazing and the bartenders are always speedy and still polite during rush times! Crew members are like a family and you can tell. Great food, great drinks, great music, great service.
