My girlfriend and I went in midday and it was completely empty. Yet the experience was awesome because we didn't have to talk loudly and we didn't have trouble hearing each other. They had darts which was awesome. I think they even had a couple arcade games in there. I give it five stars because of the name of the bar. And the experience I had at around 1 or 2 p.m. . Definitely would go again.

My wife & I had a good time there. Bartender was very friendly. If you visit there say hello to Peggy!

This is one of the few classic Southie bars remaining. The staff are great. Go in, be polite and respectful, young crowds of Southie kids frequent the bar.
