Never got served a napkin I asked for then went looking for one, got met by a NASTY BOUNCER threatening to hurt me and my husband if we didn’t leave without even asking nicely first if you ask me they need better bouncers cause as I understand the why but that was just beyond NOT OKAY we left In peace even after being met with FULL DISRESPECT!

I went on 5/5/25 and had a great time! The vibe was cool, and the DJ that night really kept the energy going. They’ve got two cup pong tables set up on the deck, which added a fun touch, plus plenty of seating outside to chill and enjoy the scene. There’s also security at the front who check IDs. I had a cranberry vodka while I was there—solid drink and good service at the bar.
Racist. The incompetent and unintelligent “bouncers” denied entry to a black member of our group because he was wearing a plain white t shirt. Not a wife beater, not an undershirt. A nice, plain white T-shirt. When we noticed the 20+ white men inside with plain white T-shirts, we asked the manager why they were admitted and our friend was denied. He replied, “they know my boss, I can’t do anything about it.” When we asked to speak to his boss, he told us his boss wasn’t there that night… how convenient. After reading other reviews of this bar, it is clear that this was not a one-time occurrence. I will not be returning, and would advise others, regardless of their race, to avoid this subpar, classless establishment that clearly has no interest in decency, respect, or accountability.

Bouncer turned away my friend because he was wearing a plain white tshirt..? Multiple people had white t shirts on.. then the bouncer said it’s because their tshirts had writing on them.
Would love an explanation to this rule.

My 18 year old step son was there drinking over the weekend. Need to make sure you’re carding EVERYONE
Great vibes, amazing staff, fast service. My girlfriend left her phone and they had it for me when I went looking for it at 3am!
The security and police think they are something lol stop acting like you guys are cool middle school students. Last night someone stole my gf’s phone. And we talked to one of securities and he said go talk to the securities at the entrance. And we talked about this to the entrance guy and he was standing and he was smiling and saying so ? I cant leave here. Wt hell lol u r an adult lol like u r not a middle school students lol you r just working at the entrance as security. You are higher level or anything thab me lol you are just one of employee at the bar lol you could have just said you could not help with this but maybe go talk to manager or police lol . Seriously if huge bug guy with lots of tatoos asked you, do you think you would act like that? Stop acting cool in front of people that think physically weaker than u cuz u r tall lol you are nothing to anyone else. Just employee

My friends and I were not let in because one of my friends, who was was black, had ripped jeans on. We then look at the people inside and notice a person inside with ripped jeans on. I then spoke to the manager and her said that the dent ripped jeans because they don’t know if roll w/ ripped jeans will cause problems. And also stated the owners allow him to let ppl in w/ ripped jeans if he knows them. I believe the rule is racially motivated. Avoid this place.

Fantastic bar with good food. Lots of space inside and outside. Very cozy and dark at night. The bar is located in front of Hop Shots, so you can go play mini golf, ping pong, and foozeball after you eat. Great location surrounded by all the hustle and bustle of Glenwood. Highly recommend!
