This is a great grungy gay bar where it is made for the local crowds just like joking for a beer or two to chill in a non pretentious place

Mineshaft was my go to bar. I moved away and after 6 years moved back. 4/5/25 was the 1st time back and it’s definitely changed. The bartender was super rude who was more worried about gossiping with is friend Ruben then tending to customers. Every time he came back to his register where I was sitting he would just talk crap about the person he just served. Then I asked the friend if he wanted to sit in the empty set next to me I’d be more then happy to move over he just gave me this look of discuss when all I was try to do is be nice to his ass. I drove all the way from San Diego just to go the Mindshaft. Let’s just say I’d never go back. And I remember his name because we had the same name…🙄

Mario was great! Drinks were made well and the Mexican food vendor right out front was delicious and convenient.

Haven't been here in a LONG time. Very long time. Pre-covid. The bar itself is cool. But. The vibe is kinda killed with the street vendors right in front. The mood inside has always been dark, a little cruisy, but now, the street vendors in the front have these blinding lights facing the building, and trying to sneak in for a drink I'm sure a lot of DL guys have opted to go elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind street vendors but maybe directly in front of a bar, covering up the sign and banners isn't the right move business wise. We drove by and past it twice because we couldn't see the sign.
Parking: If you're driving, you'll always find parking by the park 2 blocks down.

I just have to say that the bartender that we had tonight Sunday, November 24 was extremely rude and obnoxious. We had a power trip and got upset because we asked him why was wondering cheaper than the other one so I believe he’s charging a different price for whatever the price is really on the drink so it’s probably a thief

It’s 2024. Start taking F-ing credit cards! It’s ridiculous that a bar would still be cash only, not to mention the horrible service.
I went with a friend tonight. We were waiting on the bartender who took forever even though the bar was practically empty, but whatever. We waited patiently. Then when we ordered and my friend was going to pay, the bartender said very dismissively “it’s cash only. There’s an atm over there. Come back to me when you have cash.” Then he quickly snatched away the drinks and walked away. I’m not going to pay a fee just to withdraw money, then pay for an overpriced drink, and give a tip on top of that to a rude bartender. We left and went to other local bars for drinks. We won’t bother spending any money here going forward

Drinks aren’t too expensive and I really like the old school atmosphere. Smoking area is grimy in a good way. Can get really busy on weekends but can also be low key during the week.

If you ride a motorcycle, don't come here. I've been coming here for years and always parked in front - no issues. Today a new bartender was very unwelcoming and would not let me park in front & refused service. Falcon and all other LBC bars allow motorcyle parking.

PEE EWW. This place reeks of URINE. I don't know if this is a place where men take golden showers. It was my first time here, and I was embarrassed bringing my out of town guest. I told the bartender about the stench, and he shrugged his shoulders.
