Overall great and here's why : 1) nice ambience and plenty of seating , about 12 seats at the bar . 2) plenty of draft beer options and liquor . And my bartender knew how to pour a well made draft. 3) food was delicious and quality. I had a regular burger and it came out in about 8 minutes but it was also a slow time at the bar lol . 4) music isn't super loud but it's a nice background noise. I highly recommend to all and they have daily specials too. Thanks staff at Hennessy!!!!

We played Hennessy's Bar & Grille on 11/13/21 from 9pm to 1am. WHAT A BLAST! Great stage and dance floor. Tang shots are off the hook! Great staff and the people are friendly. Some of the snippets ("Dirty Deeds" and "Piece of My Heart") in our video promo below were taken from that night! And the Led Zeppelin guitar solo below was also recorded that evening. Great stage and sound set up (for musicians) and a nice big dance floor with easy access to the bar. Super friendly staff! A FUN place! It's a long trip for us, but we're looking forward to playing there again!

Totally impressed with this new location! Really long bar with lots of seats, plus plenty of tabletop and booth style seating available, and pool tables in the back! Tons of TVs all around no matter where you sit. Drink prices are still really good, as always, and still smoker friendly - though the air is not musty or stale, nor is there a haze of smoke. Their menu is still quite impressive. Love the new location as well. I liked the old Hennessy's fine, but this new location is tops! Great hangout spot!

Super nice place, very large with a good-sized outside area also. The $5.00 call brands are as good as any two for one bar. The food is also priced right and cooked to order. Gota try the Cuban's, they are outstanding. Melissa is a great server/bar tender.

Went to see my friend's band, Noodles Magoo. Had a great time! Food was good, huge pile of nachos, drinks were food. Servers and bartender were awesome. Glad I finally got to come to Hennessy's. Will be back!

An unpretensious bar, with a mostly local attendance. Great staff and it was very welcoming. We have some great chats with the patrons and staff. The pool tables are a nice bonus.
