Great tunes are the main attraction here, unless you like pool or drinking. The performers were my reason for attending.

Older white bartender lady was very very rude asked about her ethnicity and she rudely told me she wasn't gonna tell me I have never had a bartender answer me like that before for a simple question

Terrible discriminatory experience. I was just there today on 9/20/25. This is was my first time at this bar. I arrived with my husband at 5:30pm and placed a Hawaiian pizza order. My male cousin arrived shortly after and they both went to the bar to get drinks while I waited at a table. They got 1 drink each without any issue. I then went to get a drink of my own. The bar was not completely full of patrons so the establishment cannot claim it was too busy. There were still some empty stools. I waited behind some people and they were served by a white female bartender wearing a baby t-shirt with blonde hair in a french braid down the back of her head and a silver watch on her right wrist. As people were served I moved up closer to the bar as one normally does. Once I made my way to the front of the bar at a stool spot next to the draft beer with a card in my hand this same bartender completely ignored me, refused to make eye contact and continued to then take drink orders from the people behind me! As those people were served they would walk off and the next people who would have been even further behind me were served next by her. Once it happened 3-4 times it hit home that this bartender was intentionally not serving me. At this point I can only assume that she pretended like I didn't exist because I look hispanic and it was racially motivated or she hates healthcare workers because I was wearing nursing scrubs since I'd just come from the hospital. I waited over 20 mins in front of the bar. I had gotten the notification that my pizza was ready while standing in front of the bar watching this happen. At that point I gave up walked to my table where my husband and cousin had been watching me and also noted that they noticed the blonde white female bartender was not serving me but everyone around and behind me. I went to pick up the pizza and ate a cold soggy pizza without a beverage. This was a horrible experience. I walk away feeling discriminated against, and wishing I never gave this place a try prior to a loons game or gave them a cent of my money. I hope this reaches the owner and they look into this more deeply. - Signed a healthcare worker who really wanted to buy a beer

Insane selection of drinks and whiskey which a adore. I had a pickle pizza that was really well done, a couple beers and an Irish Mule. The Irish Mule was the highlight next to the Magician show going on that night
The atmosphere is only harshened by the super wobbly high tops and stools

Best damn bar in Midway
The bouncer that they have working for them is incredibly disrespectful and literally picks fights with everybody. My girlfriend went outside to the patio to smoke and couldn't even finish it because he was harassing her. Unbelievable. I really thought more of this place. If they don't do something about a person
pushing customers away, they will regret it.
Went for the hunks show and had a blast!!! It's just a wee bit small lol
This place is the best kept secret in Minnesota !
Great beer great wings!
Never a bad experience here in 10 years !!!!!and right smack dab in the middle of everything
Wheelchair accessibility: Very diverse and welcoming
