No food. Bartender Rob was drunk and tried to use bullwhip on me and my friends and refused to stop or put it away 🤮 The owner, Floyd refuses to take action despite multiple complaints over the years from other patrons. Queer bars should be a safe space; this isn’t and won’t get another dime from me.

I have to say, be not deceived by the looks or the size of this hole in the wall.. The Owner is one of the kindest persons I've ever met! Every Friday the have their Steak Special. I'm assuming the owner is the Chief! The Steak came with your choice of salad ,baked potato or fries! All under $30.00 bucks. They even have Taco days too. Although they don't provide Taco Sauce, if you ask the owner to bring some prior, he will accommodate!
Get atmosphere and great service too. All the staff are pretty laid-back and friendly!
Although I'm not a smoker, the back patio is small but also a nice get away and it's always fun chatting it up with the smokers! They provide a pool table,karaoke and name that tune bingo!
Everyone is treated equally. As a Blk man, I've never felt unwelcomed! I highly recommend stopping in. And I drive from Everett to stop in!!!

I've been going to this establishment on/off for the past 25 years. 2 bartenders on separate visits made me feel welcome, one of them being the owner. My 3rd time attending the bartender was only focused on the regulars playing pull-tabs and seemed annoyed by having a customer he was unfamiliar with. I drank the one drink and decided not to attend the bar while that particular individual is behind the bar.

Steak night and pull tabs, 10/10. Food far surpassed expectations.

Not a place for whack or insecure energy—take that to the Octopus Bar XD People are HELLA cool about pronouns here, as an lgbtq lad—just be yourself and don’t make a big “deelieo” or worry, I was worried too, but nobody gave a shit and were just like “oh cool—do you wanna go play pool dude?”. Went here for the first time just to check out the scene, just met the Bartender Robert, he was kind and chill. FINALLY MODEST DRINK PRICES, was a great time!

This was, without question, one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at a bar. I visited for the first time with three friends who are regulars and know the bartenders well. I was expecting a fun night, but instead, I was met with an infuriating and degrading experience.

After ordering a drink and having my ID checked by the bartender, Robert—who commented "wow" when he saw it—I joined my friends on the back patio. About 30 minutes later, a man with brown hair and a black beard, who I believe was named Arthur, approached me aggressively, demanding to see my ID again. He claimed I looked more like 15 than someone of legal drinking age. I refused because I didn’t know who he was, and his confrontational approach was completely uncalled for.

It turns out Arthur was an off-duty cook who decided to act like a bouncer because the bar had been caught in a sting operation the week before. Even after checking my ID, he continued to harass me, arrogantly sneering that I "don’t look 27." For the record, I’m 26, with my birthday still a few months away, so it was obvious he was trying to catch me in a lie. When I confirmed my birthday, he had the nerve to ask if I had it "memorized," as if I was trying to fake my age. To top it off, he had the audacity to say, "I know what a 27-year-old looks like because I’ve <blanked> them before," which was beyond inappropriate and egotistical.

Eventually, another bartender came out, used a hologram to verify my ID, and offered a half-hearted apology on behalf of this arrogant and unprofessional cook. But did I get any apology from Arthur, the person who humiliated and disrespected me in front of my friends? Absolutely not. Instead, this egotistical cook had the gall to say he will refuse to serve my friends in the future, despite them defending me throughout this entire nightmare.

This experience was beyond humiliating and infuriating. I’ve never been treated so poorly at any establishment. I didn’t leave a tip and walked out immediately. I expected so much better from a place my friends raved about. Instead, I got harassment, grossly inappropriate comments, and zero accountability. I will never return to this bar, and I strongly urge others to avoid it if you value being treated with basic human decency.
