Didn't get let in because I have my hearing aids in and my balance is messed up. I was the DD tonight and ruined our night.

We paid $30 for 2 Vegas bomb shot that are usually $10 each, there’s no way that was $15 a shot, that’s like a tequila shot and we come all the time and they’re never that much. So we would like to know why they so happen to be expensive tonight on a Tuesday.

Best part about this place is the personable staff. The bouncers aren’t “trigger happy” with keeping people out but they definitely keep order in the bar. I wish they would get new pool tables and equipment and renovate the bathrooms at least but this won’t stop me from going here.

Not worth it. Clearly inexperienced bar tender (white girl w long straight brown hair) I had about 3 sips of a dri k from anodyne before walking across the street w some friends and the bar tender refused to serve me, saying I was drunk (I've served alcohol for 6 years and was very obviously not even slightly intoxicated) but continued to serve the clearly other drunk people around me. Ive never had this happen before anywhere, even when i actually was drunk lol. Even her co worker wanted to serve me (she told me so) and knew i was sober but couldn't because the other girl had already falsely accused me lol. And if i was too drunk to be served, they also shouldn't have watched me leave w my keys in my hands. Lots of better places around town w better service and more experience. Home girl didnt even put ice in the adioses she served so willingly to my drunk friends, they had to ask her for ice lol. If you can't tell a socially anxious sober woman from a beligerently drunk dude next to her you probably should find a new job. Cause you're not good at this one.

Always a different vibe when I go there but amazing that it's free entry. Just be careful the bartenders will up your beer cost of your not paying attention.
Order one which was 4.25 and the next one was going to be 5.75...
Sundays nights are very slow and the bartender likes to take a 20 minute break.... If I was owner I would cut that back to 5mins... Especially at last call hour for the locals.

For a dive bar, it’s what you expect. Drinks and atmosphere meet expectations. However, the bar tenders are beyond unprofessional. Leaving at 2 am and the bar tender accusing me of saying things under my breath, I’m 36, I don’t have that filter. Literally trying to get the bouncers to get rough with our group because she was either intoxicated herself or strung out on something else. It’s unprofessional, puts patrons and staff at risk for child like behavior for a 20 something bar tender. First time in 15 years of social drinking I’ve had a staff member at a club/bar pretend like somehow I was causing a problem. Friend in the group said the same thing, walking toward the door and she has her hands up yelling. Look you work a rough area, and the bar scene isn’t fun, but don’t pick fights with casual customers who are leaving. I work with ppl like that in my regular job, and if this is the best you can get as an owner, you are better off closing the doors.
