Not one to typically complain but letting a band play so loud that you can hear it like you’re front row when your hotel is two blocks down and it is 1am is insane. Correction- 2am
The staff was so rude and it smelled like throw up

Place was fun and the music was good but thr people are just so annoying - fighting every 2 seconds and the inside of this bar smelled like vomit. Like the mopped over the vomit but you can smell it the moment you walk in. We stayed outside the bar at a table top. Music was loud enough to hear and all the fights ended up outside. Miami for ya.

Only and oldest bar in town
I found myself at The Bar again, that familiar den of clinking glasses and dim, amber light. I’ve been there a thousand times before, each visit a quiet echo of the last. But on this evening, the air was different. I was there to meet her, a woman whose beauty could make a poet forget his lines.
She arrived, radiant, with that effortless grace that disarms a man before he even knows he’s been conquered. We took our drinks and drifted toward the back, where the murmur of the crowd softened into something almost intimate. I looked at her, truly looked, and was struck not only by her beauty, which was luminous, but by the warmth and wit behind it. She spoke and laughed, and I found myself undone. These moments, these electric, fleeting, human moments, have become rare for me. But there I was, intoxicated by her presence and feeling, perhaps for the first time in too long, something like joy.
When the night grew late, I walked her to her moped, where she had brought a small parcel of food for me, a simple, thoughtful gesture that somehow felt profound. I, being the fool in love, busied myself with romantic clichés and soft, clumsy kisses… until, in our distraction, she realized she’d locked her keys inside the seat compartment.
And then — enter Joe.
A man built like a parable of American strength, a security guard whose very presence seemed conjured from the myths of decency and heroism. My lovely date asked if he had a knife, and this modern-day paladin not only fetched one, he returned with a toolbox. He dismantled the stubborn machine piece by piece, freeing her keys with the kind of effortless nobility one associates with forgotten heroes in black-and-white films.
And as if to complete his legend, in the midst of our mechanical misadventure, some drunken fool began to stir trouble nearby. Joe, our unshakable sentinel, simply turned his voice upon the chaos. One thunderous command, and the fight evaporated. He didn’t even glance over his shoulder.
It was biblical.
So if you are a lady, and you find yourself at The Bar, seek out Joe. A fine-looking man, I’m told, who stands watch not for money but for the sheer sport of being gallant. If the owners are listening, give this man a raise. He is the patron saint of that establishment, the silent guardian of our small human dramas.
And as for me… I left that night awash with gratitude — for her, for Joe, for the rare and gentle kindnesses that remind us we are not yet beyond redemption.
Thank you, Joe.
The security guard Joe is an angel! He helped me out with my scooter problem last night! Keep him there cause he’s the best
Low key place. Is not what it used to be years ago. One of the bartenders was disrespectful. Hope it gets better someday soon

Probably I went during the wrong night, but this place literally smelled like poop and vomit. That alone would be enough for a 0/5 (if possible), but the staff was kind, even though you cannot even hear yourself inside the place.

We just had drinks at this place and find it not only surprising but insulting that management would employ servers like ours. Her name, Daimelys A (per receipt). Not only is she a CON ARTIST and lied brazenly to our faces when confronted about the tip(s) having been already charged but TRICKED US KNOWINGLY about such NOT having been paid, prevented us from seeing the check upon request but even going further as literally hiding when ASKED for it. Can't undertand why management would allow and condone such behavior toward loyal and paying customers. Unless servers like these are reprimanded and/or laid off for their illegal behavior, we see no reason to ever return. And if you do choose to try, make sure you are NOT served by this waitress. But if you do, triple check how much will she be charging you for-and make sure you ask AND RECEIVE what is referred to as a routine receipt.

The security guard with the dreads needs to be fired. He is the rudest person ive ever met. Never coming back here.
I got the wrong order twice tonight. Normally I love this place. I have autism and order the exact same grilled chicken sandwich every time. When I returned with the incorrect grilled cheese SA which tonight I was quickly rushed out with a replacement box and I asked if they were certain it was my order. It was not. It was a chicken sandwich with lettuce, mayo and onion. ( I never order anything with mayo & my sandwich comes with bacon and pepper jelly.I’m upset that I can’t get my order and that two people also had their food delayed tonight. The phone didn’t pick up
The bartenders ignored us . They kept dancing . It isn’t busy . Atlanta bars I bartended way more packed as a bartender .. we left this is boring
