What a great place! Perfect place for a reasonable placed drink and a fun atmosphere. The staff is some of the nicest people you could hope for. Will definitely be back!! (And soon!)

A bartender here is involved in a motorcycle theft ring. I do not recommend affiliating with this place and anyone who wants to work out of a Harley chop shop. Is gonna catch some karma.

🔥 1-Star Review: The Iron Well – Where BBQ Sauce Requests Trigger Nuclear Meltdowns My friend and I learned the hard way that at The Iron Well, asking for extra sauce is treated like demanding a backroom deal with the mafia. Here’s how a $12 plate of wings turned into a masterclass in hospitality failure:
🚨 The Saucepocalypse Timeline 🚨
The Request: Politely asked for extra BBQ sauce (listed as “unlimited” on the menu).
Bartender’s Reaction: Rolled eyes, slammed a ramekin on the counter, and hissed, “You’ll get what you’re given.”
The Escalation: Mentioned the menu’s promise of free sauce. Suddenly, we were branded “troublemakers.”
The Expulsion: Manager materialized within 60 seconds, shouting, “Get out before I call the cops!” No refund. No apology. Just pure sauce-based rage.
💀 The Iron Well’s Fatal Flaws 🔸 Napoleon Complex Nightmare Staff wield condiments like absolute monarchs. Request a water refill? Prepare for a lecture on “resource management.”
🔸 Drunk > Sober Policy While we were exiled over sauce, a literal fistfight erupted between two wasted regulars at the bar. Staff response? Free shots “to calm things down.”
🔸 Gaslighting Grillmasters Owner later emailed: “Sauce-gate could’ve turned violent – we prioritize safety.” Meanwhile, their Google Photos show steak knives on every table.
💸 The $0.10 Lesson Their petty sauce dictatorship cost them:
2 customers (and 15 coworkers we warned)
$0.10 worth of BBQ sauce
Any shred of dignity
⚠️ Warning to Future Patrons Bring your own sauce… and a lawyer.

⭐️ 1-Star Review: The Iron Well – Unprovoked Hostility Over Simple Requests My friend and I visited The Iron Well for a casual meal, only to experience shocking aggression from staff over a basic condiment request. After politely asking for extra BBQ sauce for our wings, the bartender responded with visible irritation, scoffing, “You’ll get what you’re given.” When we calmly clarified that the menu listed sauce as included, the situation escalated needlessly:
Staff immediately threatened expulsion instead of resolving the issue
Zero attempt to de-escalate – management backed the bartender’s hostility
Expelled within minutes for advocating for advertised amenities
The disproportionate response to a condiment inquiry reveals deeper issues with this establishment:
🔴 Toxic Power Dynamics Staff treat patrons as nuisances rather than guests. Asking for napkins or refills risks similar retaliation.
🔴 Selective Rule Enforcement While we were ejected for questioning sauce policy, visibly intoxicated patrons were allowed to harass others unchecked.
🔴 Gaslighting Culture Ownership later claimed via email that “sauce disputes often lead to violence” – an absurd justification for their unprofessionalism.
Avoid this venue if you expect even baseline respect. A $0.10 packet of sauce cost them two lifelong customers and exposed their contempt for patronage.
