Locals spot to eat and drink. Friendly and accommodating staff. Bartenders are friendly and make you feel at home. Great lunches and wing night is busy because the wings are delicious. Friday night salad bar and good is good! This place does not currently rent rooms. Just a good place to eat, drink, and be merry!

Wow this place still exists lol. It was around when I was a kid in the 80s and looks exactly the same. My parents grew up in Genoa in the 70s and used to call this place some pretty funny names. Can't be that bad if it's still.going strong..
