Found this place while looking for a spot that allowed smoking cigars and drinking bourbon during the 2024 eclipse. If you are within 300 miles of Crothersville Indiana, you owe it to yourself to swing by and check it out.

We are still fairly new to town and wanted to try something different for dinner. We ordered wings, pizza, and burgers to go. Food was done and ready at the time frame they gave us. The food was on point and hit the spot. The kids loved the pizza!!! Wings were great and there French fries are delicious!!! Bartender was nice and prices were really decent. Will definitely be back for more food and when I’m kid free would love to see what the bar is like!

Ive never been a "bar" type of gal but this joint made a regular out of me there for a while! All kinds of folks, great music, delish worth the price drinks, staff is A and I've only had pizza but it was great! I recommend 10/10

One of the 'Hidden Gems' of Southern Indiana bars. I should know ; I worked at one for years. Great service, awesome selection, and a very great space, too. Scottsburg should be ashamed of itself. Crothersville has the best bar between here and New Albany. I am a fan! Will be back.

First time here. Bartenders outstanding! Our service is wonderful! Everyone is friendly! I have to give a standing ovation for Whitney the bartender! She made my favorite drink for me! Live music was great. The crowd seem to enjoy them. Pulled pork nachos were amazing!
