6 years agoThe staff was so nice. Had the ribs and were really good. The prices are affordable compared to other bars. Also if you want a good laugh read the responses to the reviews lol.

6 years agoI love everything about the Hydad's. Everyone who goes in there gets along. You can't beat the price on the drinks and be sure you try the ribs. Dorothy, the owner makes her own BBQ sauce!
Bryan Banks
5 years agoWhat a wonderful visit. With what is going on, it has been a long time since I've seen the people I really miss. The place is, as always, impeccably clean and polished, the staff are as welcoming as they have always been. During these times, it's comforting to know that we have a safe place. ***** May we all gather soon.
Kiley Baker
3 years agoIt's a very chill spot. The bartender was pretty awesome. She had her hands full but kept on moving. We never had to wait long for anything and she made the best margarita on the rocks that I've had in a long time.

3 years agoBeer on tap seems to have a better flavor. The selection was all I needed. I like a beer but I don't need 20 types. The 5 they have are enough and a good variety. The price for the on tap beer is nice and low too if you just want to wet your whistle. Bring cash. It is now cash only.

6 years agoI have going to this bar 4 over 25 years. Not only are the bartenders the coolest people I know the food is awesome and thus always prepare fresh. Dorothy is an awesome person and does the best she can with this bar and it's one to visit trust me you'll never want to go someplace else again. I met an old friend there that we used to go there with me 25 years and it's still the same. 10 * should be what this place is. I go trust me you have a good time.

year agoThis is chill late night bar. No food, but they have some snacks in case you get hungry. The vibe is great for everyone.
Martin Barthe
year agoReally cool bar, I was traveling and needed a place to rest so I found myself in this city and the closest bar was this one. Really cheap alcohol and food, nice atmosphere, only downside is that they don’t take cash but for me it’s not a problem. Will come back for sure If I m around :)
