Clearly these recent reviews are malicious and an attack on a manager for probably banning someone who deserves it.It’s crazy to think that people choose to attack peoples livelihoods by leaving bunk reviews. Management is fine, bar is clean, hotdogs are awesome and most popping spot in clayton

I waited a minimum of 30 minutes each time for a drink I got an under cooked hotdog and on top of that the bun was a little moldy it was very disheartening for my hometown bar to be in such shambles on top of all this I kept getting hit on by the bar tenders as a married man it was disrespectful especially since my wife was at the table behind me. Management denied everything and even did not refund me for my moldy dog.

The manager has no swag

This bar use to be packed on a Friday or Saturday. There is a reason it’s been going downhill and it starts with management.

This place should be shut down. It’s a drug den for misfits. Drugs alcohol and people looking to argue and fight. It’s not a safe environment and many people are allowed to leave completely intoxicated causing this place to not only be a hazard in itself but to the local environment. I’m blown away how this place has not been shut down already.

Everything about this bar is pretty good except one member of there staff. I'm not sure his name or else I would say it so hopefully the managers/ owners could reprimand him but all I can say to describe him is he's the shortest dude bartender that works there. I believe this is we're his attitude comes from because he clearly has a serious napoleon complex. When I first arrived I stood at the bar for probably 15 seconds before my female friends that came with us stood next to me. He awkwardly stared at them for a few moments before asking what they wanted and then he looked at me and said "sorry there prettier than you". Now I didn't really mind this at the time I just laughed it off and if this was the only thing that happened with this guy I really wouldn't have cared but EVERY time I ordered a drink there was some sort of incident. I had opened a tab and ordered my second drink. He brought me it and then turned and walked away so I started to walk away from the bar assuming he remembered my name. As I went to walk out the back I felt a piece of paper hit my back that he had thrown to get my attention like wtf. He then yells across the bar "hey you come here" to get my last name. You can tell this guy thinks he has some kind of authority. My friends who ordered drinks while I was out side came up to me and told me this guy has an ego problem before the whole incident with me happened. I'm rating this a one star because I want to get the manager's attention so hopefully they will chill this guy out and I'm sure he doesn't treat everyone like this other wise he would have already been fired. I don't know why he decided to be a jack a$$ but it really made a bar I've enjoyed going to in the past not so fun.

They only sell hotdogs . Dirty tables on the patio took awhile to get cleaned. Bartender looked like he was mad at worldWheelchair accessibility: No wheelchair accessibility I seen

man in women restroom!!! watch out if you’re a woman that goes here i went to use the restroom and while i was in the bathroom stall there was 3 women in the restroom and while im using the restroom i hear a man come in then the lights turn off i felt super uncomfortable and very violated. i tried to tell the bartenders and security but they didn’t really do anything about it which is even more upsetting because i do enjoy going here but i left immediately after because of how uncomfortable i felt. be careful going here seems like grown adults don’t understand what to do and what not to do in a public restroom.

Small but friendly and fun. The atmosphere felt hip, and there was indoor and outdoor seating offered on a lovely fall night . Enjoyed a lively session of karaoke with singers of all skill levels.

The Cardinal fosters an atmosphere of cocaine and testosterone fueled fights that often result in injuries and the rare, unforgettable shooting.
