Went there for the first time, food was good, drinks were good but by the end of the night some random guy took my drink from out of my hand and was told I have to leave, mind you he came in after me, apparently he was a “bouncer” no security shirt, nothing to say otherwise, he could be another customer for all I know, telling me this is “how he makes his bread” super unprofessional. If that’s the case and he’s being paid then have a security shirt on. Another female I’m assuming his girlfriend/wife was trying to rationalize the reason afterwards by gaslighting me telling me Why am I making it a big deal and to go home? I literally live across the street and at first was excited about this place, food, drinks, pool tables and staff was great but your “security or bouncers” need some training and actual shirts of some kind, I’ve been to numerous places and that’s a first for me… willing to give it another try but hopefully an owner is there so we can have a conversation about what occurred.

This place came off as if it's such a great bar, but let me say this... it is far from it. I personally witnessed the female bartender and owner take an accidental incident that occurred on the evening of 12/02/2023, from not being violent to full on outrageous. The bartender and owner clearly need anger management, therapy, and to take some serious training or watch YouTube videos on how to de-escalate situations. Even the bouncer/s didn't totally agree with how the owner and bartender were acting from their facial expressions. Luckily, the group walked out without incident other than arguing and yelling. Even with a huge older woman who really needs to grow up. She was pursuing the group of in my eyes a younger 20s crowd, adding more fuel to the fire. Again, thankfully, the group walked away, and no fighting happened because there were probably at least 10 of them. Seriously, I'm not recommending this place anymore, and I'm steering all of my family, friends, and anyone who asks for a bar recommendation away from this establishment. There's a lot safer, well established, and, more importantly, better management and staff at other locations. You just have to look and not settle for this.

If only there was an option for - 5 stars I would gladly accept it with honor!! I haven't visited this establishment in over 2 years and within 2 hours mind you, being one of only three paying customers over the course of that time was told I had to leave because of someone else's issues with the bar tender. (Taylor) I was only playing my third game of pool with a complete stranger at the time. I payed for a mixed drink mins before this transponded mind you and didn't even have the chance to drink my 10$ 12 oz glass of ice filled to the top with a drizzle of captain Morgan. This is directly after paying the bill and was threatened by her as well!!! Such unprofessionalism, seriously???? Tell me how a business open over 30 + years in Manchester, Ct needs to run this way?? I think it's time for the owners to part ways. I can't even tell you how many times I've simply driven by oak st pub and People fighting in the st and front door. You name it they got it lmao ? rant over 11/21/2023

Go in that place and spend more money than they've seen all day, put over 30 dollars in the jukebox, was polite and respectful and even tipped generously, just to be treated like garbage by the bartender who's name is taylor. I don't recommend this place at all they have really gone downhill ?

Listed as pub which any pub always serves food and drinks along with entertainment. However like many this one doesn't show any food/appetizer ONLY POOL tables poor advertising

Nice place. Very clean. Bartender was nice and knew her stuff. Free pool on Wednesday nights. Next month, I'll try the food. The menu was short and mostly fried, but a local told me the burgers are very good.
