Friendly enough servers, calm atmosphere, but generally, not really the best place to go, but then again, considering I believe bars typically a place full of lurking darkness at bay until someone gets too drunk & exposes their darkness even more, then drives, etc., bars to me are a place best avoided. I walked in, 3 minutes was enough for me, and I walked out, thankful to be free & unscathed by the ugly mundane, dark secular worldliness in those dens of iniquity.

For any cop reading this if you go through the back they wint check ID's. If there was less than one star for everything they nailed it, asked the lady bartender to bring my fience a pad in the bathroom and she just threw it on the ground, avoid this place, they will look past you if you're not a normal, they will avoid you, they wont come to you even if youre sitting right at the bar, dont come here, anyone who thinks to come here go to the next bar down the street. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLUAGE!!!!!! EVERYTHING SUCKS HERE AND THE PRICES ARE HIGH. THEY EXPECT YOU TO PAY 30% TIPS FOR A BEER, a grave yard has more life than here, no music no vibes just an angry lady
This bar has some things going for it - namely its prime location and reasonable drink prices - but the service issues really drag down what could be a solid neighborhood spot.
**The Good:** - Great location also on bus line - Fair pricing on drinks, good value for the area - Decent drink selection
The bartender working during my visit was problematic. Rather than the welcoming, friendly demeanor you'd expect (and deserve) in the service industry, they came across as unwelcoming. There was a strange energy
For someone whose job literally depends on customer interaction and creating a pleasant atmosphere, the attitude was baffling. It felt like we were inconveniencing them by being there, which is the opposite of how paying customers should be treated.
**The Reality:** When the person behind the bar - often the face of the establishment - makes customers feel unwelcome, it undermines everything else. A bartender sets the tone for the entire experience, and unfortunately, this one missed the mark

Went to this bar 7/18/25 and ordered a can of PBR and was waiting for a friend. Then the female bartender took my beer away from me even before finishing it and told me to leave. Afterwards, the huge security guard grabbed me and pushed me out of the door and threw my backpack across the road. Very aggressive bar I do not recommend this place.

Great place, but if Rocky is there don't go. She's not the nicest person. Way over charged and when I asked she got conversational. Didn't go out to argue. Been here many times, Great place just one bartender needs to be nicer with better attitude!!
