The owners are amazing, drink prices are reasonable, overall a good experience and I would recommend the place ... I was in the upstairs bar so I can't talk about downstairs but I had a good time ... It was a Friday night and downstairs had a live singer while upstairs was a dj so you can truly choose your preference when it comes to music.

Unexpectedly awesome — the kind of place where one drink turns into three and you’re swapping life stories with a stranger by last call. The vibe hits that perfect sweet spot between laid-back and electric, and every cocktail feels like it has a secret behind it.

Idk if the female blonde bartender is still there or not but I have never experienced such a rude individual. With her character, idk how they make profit when she works.

Fried Mushrooms with a couple shakes of salt are great! Their Pizza is good with beer, too! 😁
Needs a plant attack like it used to be like in the 1970’s!!

This is going to be a rocky review but it doesn’t mean I don’t want to see this business succeed. I will preface this by saying I think everyone should go to this business and formulate their own opinion and experience of this space on their own. Though I know I am not alone in my negative experiences here, I know many will not share the same frustrations I have and love this place dearly (as they should!). This feedback is intended to reach management in hopes that it can be looked at with an open mind and hopefully they can weigh the consequences.

Peabody’s has the potential to be great but is brought down by problematic staff behavior on and off site. I used to frequent this bar, but feel incredibly uncomfortable being stared down and harassed by the new bartender. Cameron, who has a history of scamming community members and bullying/ harassing community members with his siblings online now works the bar and will likely be an unfortunate downfall for this business. Other individuals working here have a history of squatting in vacant premises, using their bar time to advertise their inappropriate Onlyfans content, etc. I think the way staff handles themselves professionally off and on the clock should always be considered, and unfortunately Peabody’s has a history of hiring problematic people from within the community. Your staff is your front line and is a direct representation of the business, and the first impression I get unfortunately is that management must be woefully unaware of the trouble and toxic/problematic behavior these individuals exhibit and present which spills into their time on the clock or management doesn’t understand the importance of holding these individuals accountable for their behavior and doesn’t see the negative consequence of how it can reflect on their business poorly.

Now that is out of the way….there are a handful of redeeming qualities of this place. The drink specials are unique and are a hit with the college crowd. The cocktails are some of the best around and I love the innovation from some of the friendlier bartenders there. The owner is passionate and a nice guy, I’ve had some pleasant but brief conversations with him regarding the business and the future of it. They bring in some great local bands and the layout of the space is great for it. The interior is lovely and is beautifully decorated while the layout is methodical and easy to navigate on busier nights. It has a wonderful small town feel still and is unique amongst the several other bars downtown.

In conclusion, Peabody’s best qualities are undone by questionable staffing choices and extremely hostile/inappropriate behavior by staff. I do wish I felt comfortable coming back to this space because I’ve had some good times here, but current staffing choices has me avoiding this place. I would be mortified as an owner if my staff acted the way some of this staff does. I hope management in the future looks a little closer at their team and how they have created an unwelcoming and unfriendly space. The face of Peabody’s isn’t a passionate owner or a fantastic cocktail menu, but rather rude staff who have gone of their way to drive business away for personal reasons or due to messy conduct. Problematic staff behavior creates a problematic atmosphere that will continue to poison this business the longer it goes unchecked. Negativity and toxicity lingers and unfortunately it’s so overwhelmingly present it warrants a 2 star review in a business that otherwise is worthy of 5 stars. I truly hope this feedback does not fall on deaf ears. I would love nothing more than to someday return back to Peabody’s and enjoy the space with friends like I used to be able to.

I’ve never given an 1 star review in my life— but I think this calls for it. Are the owners actually vetting who they hire? Every time I go I’ve been met with extremely rude staff and people who are known to cause problems at and outside of work. It’s a small town— and unfortunately this bar continues to recruit people who lack quality or customer service skills. I initially loved this place when it re-opened, but it’s definitely gone downhill to a point where myself and others I’ve talked to are steering clear. There are many other nice bars in town that will get our business and hard earned dollars.
