I’ve been coming to this bar for years. Sad to see the service has gone so down hill. After such terrible and rude service, I can’t imagine coming back again.

This place was cool, the bartender was super helpful and friendly. However, I agree with other reviewers that this is a local-only bar (despite being in a major tourist center)
The people here were, frankly, some of the rudest I’ve ever come across during my roadtrip. This is not a fault of the business, nothing against them, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re new in town.

I went here a couple of nights on a trip and had a good time both nights. Customers are generally pretty chill, bartender (I think Jason is his name.) was super nice, this is pretty much a neighborhood gay bar/gay dive bar. It's not fancy and it doesn't claim to be. It's just a spot to hang out with friends/fellow regulars and have one or seven drinks. Folks were welcoming, multiple people said hello to me, (I was by myself.) and I may or may not have gotten to take a customer back to my hotel one night. If that doesn't garner a five-star review, I don't know what does.

Quirky, being a Jason mask for the owner
I’ll be honest, as a foodie, I’d probably only give this place two stars if it was based on the drink quality alone. But this place is a self-admitted dive bar, and that’s kind of the point. The drinks are cheap but aren’t top shelf quality, but the people and service are top shelf- and that’s the charm of this place. A cute patio, cute bar, and fun people to meet. This won’t be the best drink you ever had, but you’ll have a great time; and that’s the point.

The drinks we got were super good. Staff was pretty dismissive, seems like lesbians aren’t welcomed.

I have to say that it is one of my favorite places in the world bar I have been. It's a warm, welcoming, and neighborly environment for me to visit. Everyone there is incredibly friendly. It made me feel as if I had stopped by a local bar. I recommend that everyone should stop by, especially seat at the bar. I wish I had more time to spend here, but I promise I will come back some day.

This is a cute little neighborhood bar that serves good drinks and has vast service. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It's a fun little place to hang out.

I went on the morning of 5/27 12 am ish- considered late night. Luckily it was open on a Sunday night. The bar tender was kind and informative as were the majority of the patrons I interacted with. But unfortunately the atmosphere was affected by a man, in a group of his friends, citing the first few sentences of the constitution (to show a petty superiority) and a racial slur.
I was triggered by the slur. During the course of our exchange he let me know he was Jewish. The irony was not lost upon me. I tried to express that we were all human first, despite frivolous details.
I was later told he was the owner. Which sucks! I am hoping he is not a representation of his patron base, city/locale, or his community. I did think this interaction was worthy to note.
