    Stopped by on Monday afternoon on our way home. I had never been there before, even though it is fairly close by our house. Has a wide variety of beer & liquor. They have Guinness, which gets a plus from me every time. They serve food, so we ordered the Shredded Beef Quesadilla. It was delicious! Kudos to the chef! (Sorry my photo makes it appear pink, but that was the neon light glow from nearby!) Their prices are very reasonable, and it looks like a comfortable place for locals. Thank you to Carol our bartender!

    Really enjoyed this place, it had a nice vibe the food during Taco Tuesday was well worth a dollar a Taco. They have a full bar and beer on tap. Two pool tables and a internet jukebox . Look forward to trying more items on the menu.

    Awesome neighborhood bar! Food is great and prices are well worth it! $1 tacos on Tuesday, prime rib on Fri/Sat for $16, you'll be full! Come experience Tubbys, where dreams come true!

    Decent experience at this place. I had a good time drinking a couple of beers and chatting with the bartender. There are 2 pool tables and a dart board for entertainment. There is also a lot of seating at the bar. The price are pretty standard. By reading some of the reviews, I feel like checking out taco Tuesday would be a good idea. If I ever happen to stop at this place again, I'll try to make it a Tuesday. Overall, this place seemed like an okay bar.

    Great neighborhood pub. Came for a drink and kept coming back for the food. The salsa is legit! Posting pics of the menu cause there aren’t many on here.
