Great sports bar! 32 TV's with big sports package. Very accommodating with finding my out of market game. Corina was an awesome server. Happy hour "half nachos" was bigger than most regular nachos.

Friendly staff, family run establishments are the ones to support. Great everyday happy hr. Halfcourt nachos are Sliders are great as well, they have a particularly tasty fry sauce. Tons of tvs, pool table. Other games

We love this place and are here almost weekly. Taco/trivia Tuesday is a fantastic deal (1/each), the servers are friendly, and they always have a variety of games on TV so there's always something to watch as far as sports go. Overall a great value and very good food.

Best sports bar in Salem, hands down! Service is always up to par. Love coming here to watch soccer and football games. Beer is always COLD, which is huge for me. Their mix drinks are delicious as well is their food. Always a good time here.

Great wings. Might even be the best in town for the price. Been here a few times during the day. My only complaint is the regulars and the bartenders can be a tad too comfortable.

With weekly specials like theses I’ll definitely be back!! I had the Monday special with buffalo fries ANOTHER EPIC SMASH BURGER with multiple side options (even fresh green salad) under 10.00 lunch and could not finish Best Bloody Mary in Salem I have had so far I got the “Half Court” Bloody Mary They also have a “Full Court” witch has slider/ chicken wing and more!! The Bartender was very helpful offering me multiple options “Love This Personally “ for food/drink/ special times this is what it’s about guys will be back soon to try more weekly specials and that full court Bloody Mary soon

Best sports bar in Salem! Great food and yummy beer! If you want to watch a sporting event, this is the spot!

The pulled pork sandwich is amazing. Came here on a whim getting a dash cam installed at best buy and I'm pleasantly surprised. I sat outside on the patio, which was quite comfortable. The waitress was very nice, she brought my food and drink very fast. Will likely return here and enjoy the food again with my pup
