Very Disappointing Experience – Be Cautious with Billing

I visited this pub recently with four friends, and unfortunately, our experience was far from pleasant due to some very questionable billing practices.

Around 11 PM, one of my friends ordered four glasses of Glenlivet whisky, and we were charged $52. Later, I ordered 4 glasses of the same drink an hour later and the bill came to a surprising $92. When we asked the staff about this huge discrepancy, we were told that the earlier order had a “discount.” That explanation felt completely arbitrary — why would a discount be applied the first time without informing us, and then not apply later?

It honestly came across as a way to quietly inflate the bill later in the night, perhaps assuming guests wouldn’t notice or question it. That’s not just unprofessional, it’s misleading and reflects poor customer ethics.

This left a bad taste at the end of what should have been a fun night. I’d recommend anyone visiting this place to double-check their bill carefully and be cautious. Transparency and consistency in pricing should be a basic expectation, and sadly, this place failed on that front.

5 stars because bartender admitted they don’t have espresso martinis and was honest. Did offer alternative.

We came here for my friends bach party after seeing it across the street the night before. We started downstairs, then checked out upstairs + the rooftop (the bartender who I didn't get a name for she was MVP). I liked the upstairs area a lot more because it was like a little lounge.

I hated the downstairs dance area because it was SO crowded and very claustrophobic. So many people walking past you etc. After just reading the reviews of this place, I am SO glad none of us had anything stolen. I don't carry purses when I go out for this reason alone and it baffles me that so many wallets and phones are being stolen here. Girls be careful here!!

My friend ordered some drinks near closing. You’d think they wouldn’t even charge you at 1:58, but they did. They charged my friend twice and of course it hit 2 and they refused to give her the drinks or a refund. Simply just said call tomorrow. Terrible bartenders.

nice big bar. good vibes. giving one cause we bought bottle service with 1942 but it was not 1942. i was tryna just have a good time for our bachelor party so we ended up just drinking it. it’s just bad business when you’re putting cheap alcohol in 1942

usually when people buy bottle service, the bottles get opened at the table. it was already open when it got to our table. service was great tho, the guy guarding our table did well!

Just get rid of the pool tables. You dont even have the correct number of object balls, and half of the cues are missing tips completely, and here is the key thing. CHALK IS NEEDED TO PLAY POOL. Like even just to play for fun and casually, you still NEED chalk. Not a want. A literal need. Such a simple thing to keep up with. Why even have the pool tables at all? They are clearly not kept up with even on a basic level.

DO NOT GO TO THIS BAR!!!!!! I had a terrible experience. It was my bachelorette weekend and I got my phone and wallet stolen out of my purse. My sister-in law and my best friend also got their wallets stolen out of their purses. I truly believe there is an inside operation happening here. Looking at all the other reviews it seems this is a common experience for people going to this bar. PROTECT YOURSELF AND DO NOT STEP FOOT IN THIS BAR!

This is one of the best gay bars I’ve ever been to! The music, on a Thursday, was phenomenal and so easy to dance to. The DJ killed it. Every song was a banger. It wasn’t too overcrowded. TacoWey could have been better (coming from a SoCal resident). The bartenders were so nice and drinks were a good price.
