“ Stopped over after doing laundry next door and felt like we were home. We were welcomed by Brent, Shawna and Kevin and made to feel like a local. We enjoyed a few drinks at the bar, shared stories with them all and enjoyed our morning, bought some merchandise to proudly wear on our trip and left feeling welcomed. Great local long standing establishment. They have keno machines, karaoke some nights and horseshoes out back. Couldn’t think of any better way to start off our 4th of July. ”
