The “general manager” made us feel so uncomfortable! He raised his voice at us and discriminated against us. He claims it was our IDs he didn’t want to let us in.. but we are all over 21 and it was clearly racist, sexist, and not okay.. the general manager was so unprofessional and went out of his way yelling at us.

The Shandygaff, also known as Gaff, is a casual and laidback establishment with a dive bar atmosphere. The drinks are generally well-received, with an affordable Old Fashioned cocktail described as "drinkable" and a good value. The bar has a unique basement entrance and is run by a relaxed owner. The Shandygaff offers a no-frills, cash-only experience that caters to a diverse clientele looking for a simple, unpretentious night out.
The establishment is a popular spot, especially for Gaffeyoke Wednesdays, which draw a friendly crowd. The drinks are fairly priced, and the layout is great. While it can get crowded and the karaoke wait times can be long, the fun atmosphere makes it worth the visit. The place is often staffed by what seems to be college students, which may be a point of concern.
Customers have praised the great music, the light-up dance floor, and the tasty Ninja Turtle and Pink Lemonade drinks. The cover fee is reasonable, and the bar is well-staffed, ensuring quick service.
