The classic. Nice patio.
So fun to find a fun bar as they exhibit great art. The atmosphere was very welcoming, the beer was excellently cold, cool crowd. Outside patio area.

I love this bar. I am frequent customer, but when I am served flat, stale beer and am ignored when bringing it up, I feel obliged to write a review. I love pale ales—they’re my favorite beer. So when I tasted the blood orange pale ale, I was surprised it was flat and stale. I even had my entire party taste it because I wanted to be sure it was not just my preference. They all agreed it was a stale beer. I also want to be clear that never in my life have I ever considered sending back a beer. I have had beers that weren’t what I was expecting, and that’s okay, but this was so unpleasant I wanted to inform the bar that something may be off with the keg. I told all three bartenders working, only to be met with “that’s how it always tastes” and a suck-it-up shrug. While I know it was busy since it was pride, as a queer woman, I felt so disrespected and ignored, I left the bar in tears. I know what a pale ale tastes like. It’s not my first rodeo. And it wasn’t about getting a replacement beer— I had just been gaslit, ignored, and disrespected at my favorite bar, on pride no less. I don’t know if this behavior is a result of new management after Ray’s tragic passing, but I have never felt so belittled at a bar and feel as if I have no other choice than to write a review.

Sardonic gen x decor, incredible jukebox selection, good vibes.
I have panteón this bar for over 15 years. But today I was discriminated on by tonight's bartender. I will hire an attorney for his action on the night of 05/31/25 till 06/01/25 for his actions. - Juan Carlos

Super chill laid back vibes, with an old school jukebox, pinball machines, and quality cocktail menu with equally cool bartenders.

First time here. I feel in love with the atmosphere. Pretty chill place to sit and have a drink or two. Arthur, the bartender, is a gentleman to meet. His service is superb! Definitely will be coming back throughout the year.

Yet again, an excellent dive bar in a street of great dive bars. The lighting here in atmosphere says a lot about the location and the warmth of the establishment.
