Came here to kill some time before our reservation at Maxie's. Hadn't been here in probably 10 years, it's in much better shape, the bartender was polite and friendly and the drinks were well priced. Would definitely stop back in.

David is the worst bartender I've even encountered. I'm a regular at the bar and when I walk in I always come with my headphones on so that I can listen to my music or be on my phone at leisure. generally when I go I mind my own business and don't bother anyone. I drink and go home always. on this particular night I went to the bar looking to unwind like any other day and David just so happened to be working. I asked for my usual pitcher of beer and I politely told David it was a lot of froth for a normal pour. He became upset and doing something he's never done, he poured my beer in my glass and refilled it with an attitude. After he poured my beer he proceeded to tell me that when I come into the bar I can not be on my headphones talking because the whole bar didn't want to hear my conversation. meanwhile there was music playing and other people in the bar who were not of color such as myself. He begins to curse me out and then gets mad at me because I asked him for a refund, he does it ; throws the money at me like I'm a dog or less than a human. After that he proceeds to curse me out some more and tell me to never come back after I told him not to throw money at me. Then after I picked my money up I was heading to the door and he picks up the phone and proceeds to call someone after I asked for the owner name and number. Which by the way he wouldn't give me, but not surprised since I'm an African American males who lives a block away. I WILL NEVER SET FOOT IN THERE AGAIN AFTER THE WAY I WAS TREATED TONIGHT. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone even after years of being a regular!

I stopped over looking to get a Gin Rickey and relax a bit before heading home. The place is a neighborhood bar with regulars that gossip about other regulars I noticed. The place had all street parking taken but as I drove around the block I found that they have parking in the rear. The bar tender was friendly with everyone and talked to the regulars. I can't tell if they have any food and I didn't notice a pizza oven but they have chips and candy. I hate to complain about service but the bar tender couldn't even make a Gin Rickey after I told him how to make one, the bar has no lime juice which amazes me because it's only happened a few times to me. This is a dive bar for sure but to not have lime juice is ridiculous.

Nice, chill...dive bar. 1 pool table with straight sticks. The bartender was nice. Overall..a good chill neighborhood bar to spend a few bucks & relax comfortably.
