Karaoke was super fun! Dive bar drinks
These guys are weirdos about their water. Came for Karaoke in November for my bday, asked for just regular tap since we were already multiple pitchers and shots deep and I was thirsty. They told me they only have bottled water and it’s a dollar. Then thr female bartender said I can have one for free. Yippee! Then when my fiance tried to get water they told him it was two bucks. Another person got told three bucks. When we asked the bouncer how much water usually costs you he said it’s free. Mind you were all paying patrons! And they refuse to give you water in a cup and instead wanna charge you for bottled (when it’s literally illegal to withhold/charge for water). Anyway most of us resorted to filling our empty beer cups in their gross bathrooms lol. My friend literally went to the chevron to go to the bathroom bc they’re so nasty but at least the sink was ok lol. I mean I’m used to gross and it’s a dive bar and even then he went to a GAS STATION instead. That should tell u how bad it was. This is also not the first or last time this whole water thing happened!!! Also it’s so loud you can’t hear the person sitting right next to you but at the same time the karaoke audio is so shitty u can barely make out the words. Just a huge mess of a bar lol. Needless to say I won’t be returning 🫨
It’s a decently fun bar, but after hearing about a friend’s recent experience there I feel like I have to share a similar experience. When I was last there about a month ago I was with a group and we bought pitchers of beer. I asked for water and was charged $3. Thought that was kind of wild, but whatever, I needed to stay hydrated. I went to my group and told them how much I was charged for water, and found out we were all charged differently for water. I had a friend who was charged $2, a friend who was charged $1, and two friends who got their water for free. The bartenders also seemed like they were in a bad mood and generally didn’t give a shit. It’s kind of a small thing, but it’s unprofessional and it’s sad to see the owner defending this behavior.
We came in here with a big group and ordered a couple pitchers of beer. They gave some folks water for free and then asked for $2 when another person ordered it. We assumed it was because our DD was sober when she asked for water and they didn’t know our group had already ordered multiple pitchers. When she walked up and grabbed another water (after they’d already told others in the group it was free), they accused her of stealing and kicked us out. Felt really unnecessary, we were just starting our night out and are generally a respectful crew!
This is a locals dive bar with a Lotta character. The bartenders do heavy pours! It’s kind of hidden upstairs which is nice. Lots of space and a great bar top to drink out. Definitely older style ambience. Has a lot of oak panel siding and trim. This is great for day drinking or if you come past 1030 you can hit the night crowd and it gets a little wild music and dancing. The bar staff is really nice so don’t be rude to them or anyone in the bar!
