Just an FYI to the girlies checking reviews before coming here- People have allegedly been roofied by a bartender here. Even if there is only a 10% chance that it’s true, not worth the risk and what could happen to someone if it was true. Hoping an intense internal investigation has been conducted.

Woke up in the beer garden at 6am when cleaning service arrived. Vague memories of a guy selling tamales while a sort of punk free-jazz band wailed away onstage. Owner Clem made me do a mug of some kind of mead. Fight broke out over free potato chips and a toothless girl ran out crying at one point. I passed out trying to reach the men's room. If you come here bring a jacket and some sturdy boots.

Shannon was behind the bar & Natalie was singing & the happy people drank .
Cash only kinda sucks, but glad there's an atm across the street. Really liked the vibe of the place and would definitely come back just to hang and see whatever show ends up happening that day

Why so many horror stories about women getting their drinks spiked by EMPLOYEES? This needs to be addressed. I know rumors aren't fact, but I've never heard rumors like that for any other bar I've been to so I won't be coming back here. You're a pathetic excuse for a man if you take advantage of your customers that way, do better

Came on a Friday night and they had live music. No cover for entry, cash only bar, and a nice patio in the back. Loved that they left the door open so you could still hear the music while sitting outside.

Why is the AC unit directly above the entrance? That thing can fall on someones head. The owner is sketchy.

Owner is an awful person, and this place is not safe for women or performers due to predatory behavior from the establishment.Avoid avoid avoid.
