“I love this place!! Drinks are always great, service is friendly and the atmosphere is perfect for chilling or catching a game. Every time I go, I have to get the boneless buffalo wings and chicken quesadilla are addicting. Definitely check Hugh O’Connors out if you are in the area or need a good drink.”
