Abandon all hope ye who enter here. Where does the ritual of shame begin? Is it when I shout my drink order from across the room so everyone turns to stare? Not quite. Every morning while gagging through another breakfast and holding back hot tears while on the way to my dead-end job I tell myself last night was the last time. Yet night after night I am drawn back to the Pub. It is like the proverbial siren, singing to another miserable wretch, lost at sea. That’s us, adrift in an indifferent universe. We sad wanderers who make the Pub our second home. So there I am, last night, tonight, tomorrow night, stumbling in yet again: disheveled and with a bloated face only a mother could love. We who haunt the Pub are the miserable regulars in a grim cast of grotesque and bizarre characters.

What is the point of a qualitative assessment when our destinies are already locked in? We kill away the hours until the hours become days and then months and then years and finally our lives are so bereft of meaning that the nights where we are given a glass instead of a plastic cup are the only moments that contain any semblance of joy. Are the prices fair? That does not matter for we will pay regardless. Our wrecked souls call out for the true spirits, the ones that wash away the daily failure.

The service then? Truly excellent. Tip them well, they who maintain order at the bar and tables, prompt and smiling, remembering your name (even long after your name has ceased to truly mean anything except another word for “shame”) and remembering your drink preferences, always eager to tend to your self-loathing with the proper numbing agents. They are polite and tolerant, they read the room as they do the individual, conversational with some, more cordial with others. On the rare occasion you begin to sober up between drinks do not blame them.

Rather, consider the clientele: the anti-braincell crowd, the sweaty herds who are unable to master complex tasks such as standing in a line. We, who vomit our guts into the stained toilets as surely as we vomit our troubles out onto the stained bar. We, pathetic and threadbare, vulgar in our unwanted flirtations, profane in our drunken entitlement, reeking of peanut breath and undeodorized pits, the stench of failure and fast food rising from our pores and through our unwashed, unkempt clothes. Ever charming, we never cease to laugh at our own jokes, desperate for some sort of connection but gleefully self-sabotaging all the while. We lay ourselves bare at this glorious den of vice and sin.

Take a moment and look at yourself through the noble bartender’s eyes at last call when the floodlights go on and the music finally stops in that surreal passing of Saturday night into Sunday morning: see the sadness as I, you, all of us throw back one more (yes, please, just one more), as the trembling hand signs the bill and leaves it in a puddle of spilled booze and as we stumble out in the night, angry, confused, no closer to the answers for the questions which continually plague us, pushing away salvation while crying out for it. The only relief comes in resetting our mental clocks to count down the minutes until we can return once more and drink to forget ourselves all over again.

How I love this bar. The Pub achieves a raw purity to which very few places could even hope to aspire. It is the physical manifestation of our collective id. For the way it forces me to confront my filthy heart again every night I will raise my glass, I will toast the bar, and with a quivering joyless grin I will drink to good health and a long life as I gleefully down my glass of poison on the rocks!

DON'T waste your time or money. I have tried several times to like this place. Every time I am left leaving unimpressed. Uncalled for and beyond rude bouncer guy and service is so slow. A lot of people stopped going there because of these same reasons. They need to hire better employees then maybe they might see their sales go up. Again- don't waste your time going here.

If you're looking for that neon-lit, cozy spot where the staff's great, drink options are seemingly unlimited, and the food's consistently amazing, this is it. I appreciate that they offer both American and Mexican fare, so the menu never gets boring, and their salsas are top notch.

This larger than it looks pub serves up some seriously good food. Diverse and ever changing customers. Big screens, pool tables, and beers on Nitro. Definitely worth checking out.

On April 29th, 2025, around 11:45 PM, a young man who was drunk fell forward from his chair. When he got up and sat down again, he was bleeding. Some people came to help him, but the security guard only came at that moment — not to help, but to take the man outside. The worst part is that the guard also tried to remove the people who were helping him. He didn’t care about the man’s safety at all.

Great neighborhood pub! Only suggestions are maybe a few more local beer choices and a couple more pinball tables. This place will probably always be here, has that forever feel about it.
