I REALLY liked this place, the staff was so respectful, kind, and always made sure you were taken care of. The food was phenomenal! I was beyond content with the food. I can't stress enough how wonderful their menu is. If you're in the area, please check out this place. You won't regret it.

Love going to this place! Whether they are busy or not, the service is always great. Thursday wing specials you can't beat either, but all their food is good. Definitely one of my favorite spots to go.

Maria and Carrie are two of the best servers at Peskys. Carrie especially works tirelessly during busy times to keep the customers happy. Good bar food and atmosphere. I do highly recommend. Much easier access than the other bar in town and always a good crowd. Not so fond of Jess. She could use a few lessons on how to deal with people. Perhaps Jess would be better suited in a dishwasher position rather than dealing with people. Also Jennifer is awesome!

Great local bar with good food! The owner is awesome, and there was a server that just started back in July. She was the sweetest! She made sure that all of our drinks were filled during our party, and she checked back often, even though the bar was filled from two parties. We had the pork quesadilla and then the wings with Sweet Thai Chili. There wasn't a long wait on the food. The music could've been turned down just a bit as it was really hard to hear anyone on top of the two parties, but regardless, fun atmosphere.

Got there on a Saturday, and there was only 1 open table. Very busy!! Which is awesome from them. Overall, we will be back for more!!! Pricing was great all the way around. There were 4 of us. Overall, I left very full and happy!!

This place is great, home town bar feel. Owner is a gem. I just moved down the block and as soon as I walked in I felt at home. Great bar fair, even better drinking atmosphere.

Good food (apps, burgers, and sandwiches), good prices on food and drinks, and a fun atmosphere. Service at the bar has always been good. The dining room and patio have been more varied. Pesty's is interesting for its dive bar vibe, but when you look around you realize it's clean and well maintained. The mirrored walls are really unique and fun to see. Play pull tabs or darts if you're 18. I wouldn't say it's .not. a place to take kids, but the whole place is a bar. There are no walls separating the dining room, they're just lower tables (and some high tops).
