Great Little Hometown bar. That has dining space available. The food is absolutely delicious. My wife got the Smashburger and I got their corned beef sandwich. Both of them were absolutely amazing and delicious. I highly recommend. The service was phenomenal. The atmosphere is lovely.

Great service at the bar. Al is a true entertainer! Delicious elevated pub food. One of the few remaining places that serves potato skins, so that automatically gets a 5-star rating from me. Lively atmosphere and friendly staff. And they have my favorite decorative piece displayed proudly behind the bar: the famous leg lamp.

My wife and I dined at the bar here on the evening of January 20, 2026 while on a 4 day camper trip to Homosassa, about 10 miles south of Crystal River. We noticed this place earlier in the day while driving around "downtown" and it looked like it had some cool atmosphere, so after showering, decided to drive back up there for dinner. When we arrived about 6:30 pm, it was already packed. Every table was full, and so was every bar seat. We almost walked out to look for an alternative place to dine, but luckily a couple vacated their bar seats and we quickly occupied them. The bar tender was a crusty older gentleman, who might have been a retired NYPD or North Jersey police officer, but he was very friendly and attentive. We ordered their house specialty, a loaded Smash Burger and some

We shared some wings (called ahead to make sure they were offered on a night other than Wings Wednesday) and a Reuben - flavors were bright, meat was juicy and tender, beer was cold and fresh. Service was friendly and the atmosphere comfortable. Looking forward to coming back.

We went here because the reviews said they had good food. They do. It's pub food but really good pub food. We went on a Wednesday evening in February and got the last available table. It was busy and there was only one waitress but she did a good job. It took her a minute or two to get our food order but once the order was taken the food was out quickly. I highly recommend the fried green tomatoes. They are served with blue cheese crumbles and fresh bacon crumbles.
