Don’t go to this Bar, they hate men.The two female bartenders are worse than gladiators.If you are of color, for your safety. Stay away.

I give it a 2 because I like the bartenders but their drinks are way over priced for a neighborhood grungy dive bar. No such thing as a $5 well drink anymore I guess.

Came here last Friday around 5pm to meet some colleagues, and there was a male bar tender that was awesome. Really nice, and really courteous. I liked him a lot.But then around 8pm these two female bartenders came to relieve him, and oh my god were they awful. I only went up twice to order a drink from them, and both times they treated and talked to me like I was stupid. It made me want to leave, which I did. I closed my tab and tipped them, which I really regret. I don’t see any reason why I would ever go back there. And as long as those two female bartenders are the ones serving drinks there, I wouldn’t recommend to anyone that they go there either. Unless you like it when the bartenders hate you just for wanting to order a drink.

Do you like half frozen tins of Mac n cheese and balsamic malort? If so then this black mold collapsing structure of an adult daycare is just for you. It comes complete with mental health case body odored bartenders who regale you on how to tip toe through their childhood trauma to share their space. enjoy weak overpriced drinks and lectures on whatever was heard from their bon vivant riddlers. And the same bartender that everyone else one starred will respond with some fantastical lecture while remaining a smug bigot. Do better dorman. Cut the head off and you’ll be alright.

Dorman street is my go to dive bar. Has an AWESOME juke box so be sure to bring some dollar bills. They'll exchange smaller bills at the bar. Good drinks and friendly staff. Service can be a bit slow sometimes but that's a dive bar for you! They also have darts, billiards, and a cozy patio with a fire place when it's chilly. CHILLY, NOT COLD

Fun environment, great menu of snacks that pair well with cheap beer. Bartenders are generally pretty quick and friendly. Had one okay experience with a somewhat rude bartender but I haven't see her working there in at least a year so it seems her rudeness was possibly recognized by management.

1st time visit on a Sunday evening....What's there to say about an old bar in a tight-fit cottage neighborhood in the shadow of the interstates cutting through the city?The service was warm and welcoming when we entered. Sharon invited us to take a seat at the bar.Drinks were priced per usual off of the tap.From the bar we spotted the single pool table, so we approached to play since it was open and the crowd was light. We caught sight of the dart machine and our attention was diverted for a couple of games of Cricket/200.The crowd in the bar grew as we played. A group of 3 guys taking on the pool table shortly after we finished our first game of darts. We shared some floor space at the end of the table, easy enough to accommodate.Offering a few 6+ top tables along with the smaller tables, it was easy for individuals and groups to find a place to sit.The patio was quite larger than expected. It was nice to sit and talk while the city sang its song in the background. A large collared Tabby hopped down from the fence to meet us at our table, or rather its table. A simply beautiful cool Sunday October evening!We will most likely visit again.

Save your money. Go to Fletcher Place area instead. ( nearby ) We were in the this area though and decided to stop in. Whoever the owner is needs to : get a new bartender. She basically :scowled at us: like another reviewer said. I mean she was rude, and then blurted out. THAT WILL BE 27.60 !!..I'm like OK, here you go. I left a tip anyway. We went outside to sit. Owner missing the mark on opportunity here. It's a dump. Cigarrette butts everywhere, landscaping and huge bushes all overgrown, like, by alot. It could be such a cute space, with twinkly lights, nice landscapng, etc., but, no. It's far from that. After another rude service by the bartender to my buddy, we just left. We would have stayed for a couple more rounds though if not for her. Did not try the food so I can't comment on that.

Save your money. Go to a number of choices in the Fletcher Place area instead. ( nearby )This place here is a dump and the bartender is rude, for sure.If you were to tell me the beer and drinks were just a couple bucks, then, ok, I'd deal with it. But no, not the case.The owner needs to get a new bartender. We would have spent more money there if not for her. The outside space has potential to be charming and inviting, but, no- it's not. Cigarette butts everywhere and huge bushes and landscape WAY overgrown. Could be a cute area, but, owner missing the opportunity here. Dirty, nasty and rude.

Horrible service, small, dark, and be careful if you’re straight.
