Best

I was in there last night and apparently Alice (""the crazy asian lady"") has quit. I'm not sure what all the fuss is about - she was awesome and one of the main reasons I used to...

Worst

I am laughing at the reviews below because I have totally been there & experienced how insane that bartender is (the crazy Asian). So hello Welcome to the Johnsons- has this girl...

reminds me of Uncle Tony's living room 6/16/2005

the cheap wood paneling, the plastic-wrapped couches, the awful family photos...this place brings how wonderfully awful and tacky my upbringing was in perspective. Plus, where else can you get a bud and a red stripe for 7 bucks? those aren't happy hour prices folks, we're talking midnight on Thursday. And what other place has Fear of a Black Planet on the jukebox? more

Not worth it 5/14/2005

You wouldn't expect a place like this to employ a pretentious jerk to guard the door late at night, but I guess everyone needs to derive a sense of self worth from somewhere. Pros: Serves alcohol Cons: Everything else more

Tolerable 5/8/2003

The juke box is quite nice. I went here two different nights. One night, the barmaid was great, the other night, a different bar maid was a little nasty and truthfully, kind of annoying. Other than that, it's not a bad place, and doesn't get pissingly overcrowded with jerks...Hahaha, yeah, just a jerk here and there. Hahahaha.... Pros: PBR cans, eye candy Cons: that annoying barmaid more

Hole (Enchilada) in the Wall 8/16/2002

This place has it all: cheap beer ($2 PBRs), one of the best juke boxes in town and a Ms. Pacman machine to boot. Great place to hang out and get drunk for a fist full of dollars. The crowd is friendly and the decor is impeccable. It will remind you of your best friends basement circa late '70s. It can't be beat. more

ah, it could be worse. 8/8/2002

i guess depending on when you go, this place can be full of dorks. otherwise, the bartenders are great, the drinks are cheap and it's a good place to check out on a sunday afternoon for a game of pool and some beers. it's definitely a dive, but who cares? pbr in cans, baby! more
