Terrible bartenders and very rude

Eve Mahaney

Belligerent bartender, awful loud music nonstop. Do not recommend anyone wasting their money here.

Music is way too loud and they don’t listen when you repeatedly ask for them to turn it down.

It's been a while since I've eaten at this chill place. Worked here with my father a couple of years back. Sorry to say a lot has changed. Food was bland (got the veggie burger, cheese burger, which was poor quality, accept the chicken Quesadilla. Apon arriving, nobody came to attend us, other then a douche bag food runner telling us we have to order at the bar. (Was told to us rudly) I didn't have a problem with that, however if there's only one table and you are at your phone texting. You are literally not busy doing anything, the least you can do is come bring us water and take our order. Bartender was another douche bag who got our orders wrong and did not care. I've known that place for almost ten years. Worked there for a couple of months. Am really going to miss it.

Barfly is a solid spot if you're looking for a casual bar in a good location. It has plenty of seating, which is great, and there’s no shortage of screens to catch a game. The addition of a pool table adds a fun touch if you're with friends. The vibe could be a bit more lively, but it’s still a comfortable and laid-back place to hang out. Service is quick and attentive, making things easy. Plus, they stay open late, which is a big plus in the area. Overall, a nice place for a low-key night out!

Good dive bar and pool table with nice felt. We went here for noon games on Saturday - there was only one bartender and she managed to take great care of a big crowd. We will be back.

This place was ok as far as I saw. Service was good, knew how to pour a Guinness right and well. There are plenty of TVs to watch w/e game you want, and there is a Pool table you can sign up for to play. Didn't eat here so can't comment on that.

I went there on labor day, and an Irish bartender said my ID was fake, then proceeded to bend it back and forth, which nearly broke it. I am 22 years old and I understand the suspicion, but it was my real ID from the state of Texas, however if he would've broken it, I would've gotten the police involved for the vandalism of my property. He's lucky it didn't snap, which seemed to be his goal the way he was bending it back and forth. I asked for it back several times and said I would leave, but he insisted that it was fake and that he was going to confiscate it. He was definitely overly intoxicated and looking for a fight, and he's lucky he didn't find one, because after his assault of my government issued property, physical retribution seemed like a valid option. It seemed his goal was to cause some kind of altercation, and I can't in good conscious recommend a bar to anyone where the bartender is actively seeking conflict from the patrons. I've seen several recent reviews that correlate with my own experience, and I can only hope that the owner recognizes them and removes this person from his current position; especially because the bar was empty and seemed like it could use some more people willing to spend a buck on drinks. Terrible experience and all I can say is that I genuinely hope that the Irish bartender gets some help, because he was absolutely sloshed on the job.

beetyl !

Bartender with an Irish accent working 9pm on 9/2 accused me of having a fake, threatened to take away my NY state ID that I use every single day and proceeded to kick me out, not worth the headache. Go somewhere with better hospitality. It also smelt pretty bad. I asked him to scan it, he refused. Definitely just lazy and awful at heart. If you look at other reviews I’m not the only person who has had this problem.

Bartender who said his name was Niall (Irish dude with a beard and a black eye) denied me and a friend who both offered him our REAL IDS AND ARE BOTH 21? And he said "well you could go to any bar around here why choose this one is this reeallyy your favorite bar?" Like straight up mocking us? We even said "Ok scan it then, do you have a scanner?" And he was like, yep but not gonna scan them. Also he was def just drunk and didn't wanna make drinks. Like what kind of bartender just denies based on pure vibes alone. Never going back byeeeee. Also what kind of bar closes at midnight . Don't go here man just don't.
