Hard to rate off of last call, but the lady was nice. Some bartenders clearly favor some customers over others, but I got my couple drinks n went home just like I planned.

I gave a 1 star review bc,they charge you a cover charge even if you have already been in the bar 2 hours before the band starts or if you show up 5 mins before they stop playing .I can tell you this is the only bar that does that.and the (older) waitress there that works weekends needs some customer service training,she is decent at making her rounds but needs to learn some people skills .she comes off pretty rude .I'll definitely not go back there as long as she has a job there and it wasn't a 1 time incident .2 weeks ago was the same .our table of 6 wanted to leave both times bc of her .she

Very horrible. Need better service and waitstaff. Also don't let the mens room toilets get clogged and over flow.

The place as a whole is pretty good for a cheap bar. The guy working the door is kind of a perv through. He hits on my girl and tries grabbing her every time we go.

It's nice. Live music and a dance floor. $5 fee to enter. The drinks could be stronger. But then again, ND drinks are all water down anyway.

Great place to spend the night! $5 cover, but entertainment was well worth it. Also have bar games for those who care, multiple black jack tables, pull tabs, & e-tabs. Outdoor smoke area is heated. Place was packed , but staff was super friendly, and on top of it non-stop. Will come back for sure.

Excellent vibe, only drinks! If you are hungry go and eat first or get delivery, they allow you to bring food. Sound and stage are great, the band in our visit was excellent too. 9 - 11 pm special price.

Mixed review. Friday night.... people sitting around the bar not there for the nightclub scene. Bartender Brian is super great guy. 8:00 some workout stud with a security shirt tells us we have to pay a $7 cover or leave. Band is nowhere in sight, haven't even started warming up. 10 people in the bar. Ok, goodbye.
Next time I'll go to the bar n grill at Petro.

I have mixed feelings about this place. Live music and dancing is my favorite so we've been there several times and we always have fun. It gets crazy busy on the weekends, so make sure to get there early if you want to get in and not wait in a long line. The service is sub-par unfortunately. The bartenders have always seemed "annoyed" by the patrons. I understand they probably get sick of drunk people, but they are working in a bar. For those of us who tip well and treat servers well you'd think we'd get a smile/common courtesy in return. I'll be back- don't get

So many awesome live bands and a great dance floor! There are great specials every night. I usually make it for $1 or $2 you-call-it's, smallish glasses but not watered down and cheap enough to get a few of them. Kind of hard to find parking if you get there late. I always have an awesome night when I go. Great atmosphere!

Always a good time! Bartenders are great, servers are friendly, bands are genuinely good, blackjack and pull tabs. The real only downfalls are the restrooms and parking, as well as the law tends to sit outside at closing time.....

Stopped in for a couple drinks about 7pm. Quiet, not busy. Joshua L. Was the bartender. He did a great job. I got a buy one get one free drink by checking in using the yelp app. Joshua L said I was the second person in a week that brought it in. They have a drink special at 9pm and a country band starting at 10.

Worst service I've ever experienced. In this trashy truck stop its impossible to get a beer on Sunday night after paying a $5 cover. I'll never attempt to spend another dollar in this place.
