I always love coming to Dan's Bar. You can tell that the ownership and managers prioritize creating the best experience possible for the customers. A person expects a small town bar dining experience, but this is so much more. Great job!

Our server was fantastic and so was the food but the hostess was rude and honestly made me want to leave from the second we sat down. I have been here many times with my husband and we love it so much but will probably find another Thai place to eat after this experience.
