Interior and service were fine, but violence from far-left activists posing as customers is common. Be aware, these activists like to target people who appear to be on their own, so use caution, for example, when going to the bathrooms (and of course these violent reactions are triggered based on the appearance/race/gender of the victim). Security staff also conduct themselves as far-left activists, so they'll only help if you appear to subscribe to their politics.

Had my motorcycle permit in my wallet and he questioned my ID and didn’t let me I because I tripped coming up a slanted step on the front door. Person at door hates his job and lowkey likes Ohio State.
when you come here, it’s ben or bust <3
Whats with the transients outside panhandling and blocking the entrance? Doorman can't be bothered standing up and taking out his airpod to clear the doorway of transients? Went around the corner to a bar that doesn't condone that and it was such a relief. I'm not supporting a business that condones rock smokers trying to intimidate me at the entryway.
just stopped in for a chill beer, early. great vibe. haven't been in this place since it was bab's and the cool vibe has survived. ?
I came here on a weeknight before it got loud/busy and had a great time. There is abundant comfortable seating, which makes it a perfect place for a drink and conversation, the staff was friendly, and the dive bar atmosphere is excellent.

I really hate leaving a two star review for this place, but it is what it is. First off I want to start by saying that this place has a killer atmosphere, the bar back area is just cool to look at and the unique booths make for great conversation. Here is where the issue comes about... I was waiting for a reservation for dinner next door and had about 45 minutes to waste.
Ordered at the bar a single beer and cashed out... I noticed right away when the beer was poured that there was almost zero CO2 in the beer, it poured super flat... I tasted it and yeah it was flat as a beer thats been sitting out for hours. I asked for another, figuring it might have just been the tap, but sadly it was not. I told the guy, but he didnt really seem to care, but was kind enough to offer another beer. the second big downer was that I was charged incorrectly from what the Menu said by a $1... It might not seem like a big deal and I wasnt in the mood to say anything, but come on you run a business, please do better to get it right.
Kind of soured my opinion of this place as a whole... will likely not return in the future considering there are many other choices on the street.

Pretty typical dive bar. Not a bad place to grab a drink, and they're open late (or early, depending how you look at it)

The staff is great. Nice vibe with a great drink selection. Choose a whiskey or a bourbon. You can't go wrong.

Came here bar hopping with my husband. He went up to order drinks while I sat at a booth. A server came up and asked for my order and I informed her that my husband was ordering and I did not know if he was at the front of the line. She said no worries I see him If his order is in I'll forget about yours. Sounds like a plan. My husband comes with drinks. Great it's handled he opened a tab. Suddenly the bartender comes up and accuses us of trying to get drinks for free and distracting her from making drinks by pulling her from the bar? She demanded we pay for the first two drinks. She was a red head. If they brought us all four drinks we would have paid. As far as I knew my husband opened a tab? It was an extremely confrontational encounter for absolutely no reason. It was a miscommunication we had never been to the bar we were unsure of the ordering system. We did not know there were servers to begin with. Someone needed to just ask us for a card and we would have handed it over. The entire encounter was not necessary. It was escalated to a degree that I have not encountered in the high end bar scene.Ultimately, I couldn't even enjoy the drink and dropped it off by the bar. I would be careful with coming into this bar as a newbie. Wait for someone to speak to you and follow their lead. Either way the drinks are a bit lack luster to risk that kind of encounter.
