This bar used to be so cool. It felt very old-school. I loved the previous aesthetic. I think it was a big appeal for me, as well as my friends. Also, not to forget, there was always free pool, which you never get anymore.We went there recently and they updated the whole bar, apparently because of new ownership. It definitely took away that special aesthetic. I think a-lot of the new updates could have gone without. Now it just feels like a random bar, and the crowd there was never that great to begin with. Don’t think we’ll be coming back.

I originally rated this place a 5, and it was the only bar I went to (frequent at least twice a week typically) because of the diverse patrons. Under new ownership, it seems they are actively trying to eliminate black patrons. They have the touch-tunes app jukebox, I just tried to play some of my normal music like artists such as snoop, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kid Cudi, etc. Basically all rap music, regardless of the content. For anyone wondering, I'm white. I love my bartenders here (Mel and Nicole are the only 2 I know) but due to ownership changes, I will not be coming back. They apparently have an ideal crowd, and I'm not for the racist shenanigans.

I didn't pick up the bartenders name but was very friendly. We spit talk about the decor for a quick second and I will probably go in to find out more. Very good looking establishment an atmosphere I find comfortable.

Well this is an extremely racist establishment. Walked in with family & friends trying to celebrate a wedding ( we are from out of town) a few of us walked in from the front and the other half walked in from the back.The few that walked in from the back walked right with out a problem and no IDs being checked. The other half that walked in from the front walked in and headed straight to the bar. We were rudely bombarded by I guess security whom was asking us for IDs and Membership. We asked the security guard how can we obtain a quick membership and the cost he rudely responded that it was only done on the week days. I tried to ask a table of 6-8 mainly Caucasian if they had this issue and they seemed confused as to why we were being asked about a membership. Needless to say i won't be back at this establishment and hope this review is seen by management. Train your employees to better speak to customers especially a large party more than willing to pay.

This is a classic Winston bar, full of great people, but like an other bar....there can be some rough days

How can I start? First it's absolutely breathtaking inside and out. History, charm, warmth permeate this well kept establishment. I was blown away by the decor through out this bar. I felt like I was back in a time of high class . But, the warmth and charm of another country. Maybe England or, Ireland. Just really beautiful decor inside and out. The bartenders, people, Vibe are excellent!
W spot. Please bring back
