Didn’t really enjoy ourselves, definitely caters to a certain clientele and conveys a specific ascetic. You just have to be into it, which we weren’t. You also need to really like smoking, like, alot.

This is an awesome place for good bar food and drink specials. Unfortunately, the cigarette stench is overwhelming. I hope that the owners wise up and ban smoking, at least in the dining area.

Food is really good. Specials every evening. The only problem is it is really smokey instead. When you leave your clothes smell like smoke. On different specials night there is a very long wait.

I have been to this place multiple times. The food wasn’t very good before but the atmosphere was a good time with cheap beer so I kept coming back. Well tonight we went there and since I’m from out of state they refused to accept my ID. So they lost a customer for life.

This was my first time here. I saw that they had a wing special & thought I would stop in for lunch. The bar was pretty mellow with a local bar vibe. Nikki(sp) was the bartender. She was very sweet & attentive. Excellent customer service. The wing special is $ 0.25 half wings or $ 0.50 whole wings. There are about 6 or 7 different flavors offered. There are no limitations as to how many wings you can order with a flavor. I decided to go with the Honey BBQ& the San Antonio Hot. The Honey BBQ had great tangy flavor. I have an above average threshold for spicy foods. The San Antonio were pretty hot. I needed blue cheese to help get them down. Their blue cheese is nice too. It’s smooth & not moldy tasting like roquefort. The wings were cooked to perfection. Nice & crispy. What an amazing deal. I only have 1 complaint. For a non-smoker I wasn’t digging that they let you smoke at the bar. Other than that, I had great service from Nikki & a tip of the hat to the cook. I’ll definitely be coming back again.

Can’t write a review on the food, though I hear its great. I will never be able to find out. In 2016, this place still allows smoking!!! Not only in the bar, but the dining area! Geez, how do you get away with that? A large group was coming this Saturday night Jan 30, to see Johnny Smoothe and the Witch Doctors, but not happening now!

Updating my review quickly because I recently discovered that this place has the BEST Italian hoagie around. I kid you not. It’s AMAZING. The portion of meat you receive is huge, the Italian oil is delicious, the bread always tastes fresh and it’s cheap. What is better than that? Also– to those complaining about the out of state IDs. this is due to the fact that nowadays you can buy out of state IDs online. They are identical to the real ones and it’s very hard for bars to tell if they are fake/real. To save themselves a lawsuit, they simply don’t accept out of state IDs. You can’t really blame the bar for that. Anyway. now I’m thinking about the Italian hoagie and drooling. Get here now to try it.

Won’t give out of state people the time of day. Asked for our ID’s when we got there and said we don’t take out of state ID’s. Never had an issue with any other bar around.

If you’re visiting from out of town, don’t bet on it. Never have I seen a bar not accept an out of state id until I came here. So stupid

Stopped into the Loose Moose on my way home from visiting my folks after noticing the«½ pound burger for a buck» specail on the sign out front. The first obvious question I had was, «what kind of burger can they serve for $ 1.00?» I had to stop and find out. The next obvious question was, «What exactly makes this moose loose anyway?» Is it a free roaming moose? A yoga moose? A financially irresponsible moose? A moose of questionable morals? I needed to know. So I asked. After a rolling of the eyes, the bartender took my burger order and got me a Fat Heads IPA. The burger came out in about five minutes and it was just as I ordered it: cheese, onion, tomato, pickle and brown mustard. It wasn’t the best burger I ever had but it most certainly was the best $ 1.00 burger I’ve ever had. Looking around there’s pool tables, a number of big screen TV’s, a jukebox playing, a good crowd and a friendly staff with fast service. It’s clean, they’ve got a decent selection of craft beers and a full bar. The Moose, how ever loose it is, is a winner of a neighborhood bar.

Go anywhere but here. This bar is absolutely disgusting. The inside smells like rotten food and cigarette smoke. The bar tenders and servers look like they just got pulled off of a side street. The clientle is also gross, especially the regulars. This is not a classy establishment at all by any means. The food is cheap but gross. God only knows what their kitchen looks like. This place also has the most terrible service known to man. I usually don’t give 1 star reviews but if I could I would give it no stars. Avoid this establishment at all costs.

They have rather good specials each night. I had 50 cent tacos and $ 2.5024 oz Molsons. Can’t complain, it’s one of the better if not best local places I’ve been. I didn’t expect it to be but it’s great for watching sports games. Only thing I didn’t really like was you can smoke in there.

The Loose Moose is exactly what you’d expect on the inside from what you see on the outside. We went late at night and got cheap beers, $ 2 Miller deals and cheap craft bottles. Extra props for free pool while we were there, so we played a handful of games. It loses points for the smoking, which I must admit doesn’t smell nearly as bad as most smokey city bars, and for the bartender not knowing what kind of liquors were behind the bar when we tried to order some shots. We ended up sticking with beers.

They do have 2 Hot Bartenders & great beer specials sometimes. I haven’t tried all the food But, I did Not like their chicken strips/tenders, they are super thin & I think that is Why they were really dry, might be over cooked… It would be a lot Nicer place If it was Non-Smoking.

I’ve been here probably about 10 – 15 times and everytime I go there is a special. Besides having an awesome special every day, they also choose a beer or brewery of the month. Granted, they aren’t craft beers(this past month was Coors Brewery) but they still put all these beers on special for $ 2! I mean come on, this is pretty great. They also have a special where you get wings which each beverage you purchase(not sure the specific on amount of wings or type of drink — see their website for details.) A few things that aren’t so great. The service. They are always friendly but they seem to often be understaffed. I can sympathize with this as I served for 8 years but everytime I go there being understaffed and having to wait about 5 – 7 min for my first drink does seem a bit ridiculous. Another thing is that they are a smoking establishment. A lot of the times I go in I don’t necessarily notice the smoke but to have the booth next to you blowing smoke while you’re enjoying dinner sometimes can put a damper on things. Definitely a laid back environment with awesome specials if you’re looking for a bar that’s above a dive bar but you can still get a small bar tab because of their great specials.

Went there at 1133p.m. specifically for the wing special, and we were told the kitchen closed already! It had a big crowd, so how do you close the kitchen early when you advertise a kitchen special. The bartenders are really hot and seemed nice, but I will not go out of my way to return here because of the special ending early.

Went here for wingnight last night(Monday) and the wings were HUGE!!! We prefer the whole wings as it seems anytime we have ordered the split wings– they are always much smaller than the whole ones. The whole wings are $.50 and the split ones are $.25. I would suggest getting their Loose Moose Sauce with is actually straight Sweet Tai Chili sauce but its delicious!!! Or, you can order them like my wife does and het them with a Cajun Dry Rub with Loose Moose Sauce on the side, she prefers to dip hers into it. This is an awesome destination for wing night… And yes, as another poster mentioned, they DO allow smoking… and we’re VERYHAPPY that they do!!! But… as another poster mentioned… If you’re on a diet… Wait… WHAT??? What diet on earth allows you to eat wings but still guarantees that you lose weight? If there is one, I’m in HEAVEN! Over for now…

Ridiculously cheap drinks and food specials, friendly patrons and absolutely beautiful staff. For being sort of in the middle of nowhere, I wonder where they find these bartenders and waitresses that not only know what they are doing, but look awesome doing it. Even the female patrons seem to be of above average endowment and not afraid to let it show. But enough lecherous old man talk… The food is nothing special, but the sandwiches are cheap and good, wings are excellent, drink specials are frequent & cheap, and there is usually not much of a wait for a pool table. My GF likes it too — must be the cheap drinks and the abundance of other beautiful women, but she always wants to fool around in the parking lot when we leave. Great variety of patrons from all walks of life, which is unexpected out in the south hills. It does get a little rowdy at times, which is to be expected when they have such super-cheap drink specials, but they quickly get the chaos under control.
