Came in with our Ontario Canadian IDs and the bouncer wouldn’t let us in because “his bosses told him to not let Canadians in”. weird rule for a tourist city. Racist! If your not American don’t bother with this place. They hate Canada and apparently any non American tourists looking for a good time.

The main male bartender has an attitude problem. Been living next door to Dog for 5 years, haven’t come back in 2 for this reason. Go to Locker Room upstairs instead.

I was visiting and was recommended to go here but had bad experience. We were having a nice time until the drama with the staff and the girl with the birthday outfit who got screamed at small place. Im surprised men act that way to women. I saw that review about it. Do better guys.

Not great at mixing drinks and the beer was stale. From the few people we saw inside, seemed like a chill hang out spot. Don’t know if it was just the bartender for that night or the usual but it definitely left us looking for something better

Very rude and condescending bartender. Possibly the owner. You will notice some negative reviews from minorities who felt discriminated against. It did indeed feel targeted as the bartender (the only one there) was extremely disrespectful to both myself and my partner, but much nicer to the other customers that were not minorities. We noticed he was also nicer to women who were alone or without a boyfriend until they'd arrive with their boyfriend. It's a greek-life focused bar with benefits and discounts for the main frats and sororities, so it is not for the average Gainesville resident, not for women with boyfriends, and not for minorities. It was a nice atmosphere, which is a shame because our experience was so poor that my partner was uncomfortable staying there for longer.Would not go again, and do not recommend. For a future tip, there is no table service either for those confused.

I was treated very badly by the bartender for the sole reason that I was having fun.

Loved the prices of the drinkz. Other than that, I came here while exploring the area on an overnight w/ my CA n FO. The bar was quiet other than us 3, there were 2 male customers and the 2 guyz behind the bar. At one point, I and one other female customer were the only femalez. There's an updated jukebox that worx through an app or right there n person. Keep in mind that one song is worth 2 credits/ aka $1. If you open a tab, you must put a card on file. If you're like me and pay cash, then you will b expected to pay after each drink before you can order another. The drinx I got were good and under $5 each. I definitely recommend getn a drink here if anything. I didn't have n e food so I can't comment about food, and to be honest, I don't know if they offer food.
