Genuinely the worst DJ I’ve ever heard on Friday. I don’t mean to be rude, but he played so many unrecognizable songs and tried to use his DJ buttons to “hype” up every song, and it ruined any recognizable

Honestly, a great place to go no matter what type of bar scene you are looking for, there's plenty of places to sit, games, and a big dance floor with live DJ's. As far as college town bars go, this one is definitely my favorite.

Sam is the best bartender I’ve ever had. Not only if s he kind but he also cares about his customers and makes sure each person is okay. 10/10 would 100% come to this bar every time I go out.

DJ sucks lately. He doesn't read the room. Would get more business if better music was played.

WORST BAR EVER. WE CAME FROM DES MOINES AND WENT TO THIS BAR. JUST TO HAVE A GOOD TIME , AND JUST WALKING AROUND IN THE BAR AND WE WALKED INTO A DOOR (thinking it would lead to a outside patio) THERE WAS NO SIGN ON THE DOOR OR ANYTHING AND THE SEC WE HIT THE AIR THE SECURITY CAME OUT AND MADE US COME BACK IN AND AS WE ARE COMING IN THEY ARE ASKING US QUESTIONS AND I GUESS WE TOOK TO LONG TO ANSWER BECAUSE THEY TOOK MY FRIENDS BEER OUT OF HER HAND AND TOLD US NEVER MIND GET OUT AND KICKED US OUT. AFTER BEING KICKED OUT OUR FRIEND WENT UP TO THE DOORS TO SEE LIKE WHY THAT HAPPENED AND THEY TOLD HIM NO, GO AWAY YOUR KICKED OUT, LIKE WHAT????????? NEVER BEEN TREATED THAT WAY AND IT WAS RIDICULOUS HOW WE GOT TREATED AND WOULD NEVER GO BACK AND I HOPE THE OWNERS AND WORKS ARENT HAPPY HOW THEY RUN THIS PLACE!!!!!!

- 5* for their horrible door man. I'm 31 years old they've obviously never seen an out of state ID (which in college town blows my mind) because they not only tried to take my only license but also my ID.... not cool. I had to state "I will literally call the police- I'm 31" to which he replied "ok, I'm not letting you in". Get it together! College students should not be at the door scanning ID's with out an actual scanner- it's 2021: invest in your bar for gods sake. Asking for addresses when I state my name and address correctly then he tried to pocket my ID saying "next time, say your address correctly". I find such offense in this as I'm 31 and not some young j*** trying to get in the bar as an underage student.

Extremely rude staff. Waited and watched everyone get served around me and when I moved my mug close to get the bartender's attention he threatened to throw it across the bar.

This is the worst bar I've ever been too, i was illegally kicked out for having a service dog. I was let in by the bouncer and as soon as I went to get a drink the bartender got on my face asking why I needed a dog in the bar I tried to show him my dogs ID and the statute written in the back of it explaining why I am aloud to have a service dog in all public areas. Instead of reading it he shoved it at me and proceeded to force me out of the bar. I have never had such a bad experience at any place of business I have ever been too. Absolute disrespect. If I could give this bar 0 stars I would

The DJ is absolute s**** Doesn't know current music or how to be a successful DJ. I honestly think I could do better and that's saying a LOT. Figure it out seriously.

Vatis

Loud music for overpriced, poorly made drinks.

John S.

DJ is old and plays dated music that was probably popular when he was college age. They need to modernize this establishment to keep up with the current day and age
