As friendly a place as can be. Great music on Wednesday nights. Reasonably priced drinks. Huge, central bar with comfortable chairs. Great service.

I love going here. Atmosphere is very nice and the music. Only complaint is that the drinks are toooo small and expensive. I don't mind paying 10 for a drink, but the cups should be bigger. Serve the drinks in a bigger cup for that price or charge less if keeping the same size cup. Other places around charge less and bigger cups. Remember we are in Fitchburg, not Boston.

Nice clean place, owner Kevin is a great guy. Weekly jam session on Wednesday night is fun, usually there's free food out and the beers are quite reasonably priced.

The people are all funny, friendly, down to earth. The Bartender, Darcy, too. If you are not sure if what to drink she will surprise you. Kevin, the owner, took over after Dad and he's also a genuine nice guy. Some food while you drink and watch TV. Haven't been there in 15 yrs, I like it much better now.
