Dorinda is so sweet, made us feel like family even though it was our first time there! We really enjoyed their snacks and their drinks! Dorinda made us feel like family early into our first visit. Love her forever.

This place is always an awesome visit when we return every year. Great staff and awesome beer prices, but sometimes the cashews are steal but at least they are available lol. Best atmosphere in PB! Note to self, don't trust their website for accuracy.

Great dive bar. It used to open up at 6a but now it opens up at 7a. Great drink prices for the PB area. Great atmosphere and there’s a huge patio as well. There are billiards and darts available. As well as a juke box. It gets pretty busy as the day goes on.
