"A great neighborhood bar with a nice selection of ice cold beers, TVs, pool tables, and dart boards. I have never had the food, but other patrons seem to like it. It is also one of the only bars in Bristol that will turn the music down and TV up so you can see and hear a sports game. P.S. Not meant for snowflakes like Nimby Pimby."
