The man Ryan Spencer at the door carded me and proceeded to tell me I was too drunk even though I am sober and took an Uber here and told him I was taking an Uber home as well. He expressed he felt we wouldn’t make it home safe and as I said above we already had a secured Uber ride!

Everyone working here is so friendly, and the crowd they draw in is mostly the same. I only wish they weren't sooooo popular sometimes because it becomes an early bird gets the seat situation.Also pinball, that's really

Staff made me feel so uncomfortable. Atmosphere was very unwelcoming for a first time visit. I wouldn't go back if it wasnt for the awesome art everywhere. Music is too loud to want to talk to strangers for a little fun. I was nothing but friendly and observant while enjoying a couple drinks. Still, i get followed to the bathroom by employees just for them to look like fools while im washing my hands. Surely left after that stunt. Please have an older, wiser server on staff to show the kids how to make people feel welcomed from the get go. Awesome bar, poor staff. I enjoyed myself regardless and had a good experience in my own way. Thank you. Good luck.

Had a friend experience a medical emergency and they immediately tried to kick us out of the bar. As I was calling the ambulance they were asking us to leave. Do yourself a favor and avoid this toxic business

Found it weird that they don't serve Budweiser! But the Heineken was cold and delicious!

Really like this place. Great atmosphere. Also, if you've had one too many and you need to Uber home, your car will still be there the next day ?
This was a cool spot but the service was slow and most of the bartenders were rude (there was one taller man who was AMAZING) I have been in the industry for years and cannot imagine working without a digital POS. Everything would be more efficient if they cut the manual tabs and checks.

Good old fashioned bar! Lots of local artwork to appreciate. Nice selection on drinks to order! Really liked that you can bring your own snacks in! This should be allowed in any bar that serves drinks only!

Bring your own food, grab some drinks and play some pinball. Or chill outdoors and enjoy a cool summer night on the patio with your friends. Awesome bar with a great vibe and friendly staff.
