I’ve never done a review but I had to leave one for this weird random experience. I live nearby and I was just walking going for a jog and I'm just passing by and see someone take out this dog cage from the bar. Mind you I just greet them with a simple nod and I let them pass since they were carrying this big dog cage and as I keep walking I pause to think which way I want to walk since I didn’t want to hear the cars so I ended up just working out around the street but as I just thought what I'd do. I hear this guy with the dog cage say some stuff under his voice about me calling me names when I hadn’t done a single thing to him. So I start walking wasn’t going to say anything but I looked at him and asked you say something (in a calm manner just asking) and he goes off on me saying you were looking at me for too long what’s your issue what’s going on and screaming. So I just told him to calm down I hadn’t done anything to him and I was just deciding what way I'd take and he stood silent cause I spoke to him in a calm manner vs him just exploding for nothing. Really just a weird experience (also never been in this bar or in the age to drink).

Walked in there and every single TV was on a different channel with the volume at full blast. It was 1130am. I asked her bartender what the deal was with the Tvs all blasting and she said her boss was an Ahole and that it's like that all day long. Me and my buddy had a beer and left. I felt like it was an insane asylum.

Some of the owners at this location are idiots in social settings. Beyond drinking and having a conservative logo on his shoulder, I couldn't help but notice the lack of accountability, mental disturbance, and overall moral decay that existed in image of a lousy restaurant (they should have gone into accounting) that sought to make money off of local chiefs on st Patrick's day. I was trying to leave, due to the inconsistent and indirect communications of a drunk gorilla (seemed to be a part owner or drunk son of the owner), whom was cursing at myself asking if I can park near a tree, only to have an equally disturbed owner start touching my car, from which I had the call the police for them to provide any possible documentation of hidden attempts of vandalism, since I didn't want to get out of my car and wanted to leave. The operator told me to stay, after asking several times If I could leave, due to herself hearing the drunk buzzard outside my door. She also said that the individual should not be stating those things and harassing yourself at your car while you are trying to leave. The officer on site stated that filing a complaint was up to myself and that I had every right to pursue as such. I guess the original idiot didn't like someone in a nice car not caring about his muscles, but I guess I'm the only one who left a fraternity at age 18. I told the officers thank you for serving, because they had the equal maturity to pursue a real adult job beyond running away from ones issues serving a beer to better men and women. It was at this point (mar 10th of 2024) that I belong in a white collar position, which is a great matter so I don't spend money on people running in circles in life by drinking a beer.

Biggest night of the year and cash only? No Guinness? Remind me NOT to hit the HAT on ‘24.

I ordered a rum and coke. I didn’t realize until I finished the drink and all the coke was gone that their we’re about 30 fruit files in the glass. It was 35 degrees out and those flies didn’t get in there after I drank the drink. I wish I had taken a picture but I was so horrified I just bolted out of there. Come here if you want to be poisoned.

I worked here for three weeks owner is very rude. He’s lazy and does not know how to run a business. Cool bar to hang but to work absolutely Do not recommend. Owner has major ego issues and verbally abuses his regular customers joke or NOT these people keep your BUSINESS that you don’t know how to run stay open. STAY AWAY HES VERY RUDE!

Wow, so I’ve heard about this bar from Tyler who is an absolute AMAZING Bartender!!!!! Probably the best bartender I’ve encountered in a very long time … she remembers your drink and knows what you want every time unless specify otherwise. Very warm and welcoming !!!! Great attitude, and just overall the BEST!!!
