It was good until I tried to order a drink. I get there and waited to be served. The bartender once he was done and charged the other customers, walks by me and then turns around to have a conversation with the people he just finished with. The other bartender came from his side of the bar and got me the drink I ordered. I've always felt at times the Iron bear (some people there) are kind of racist but that's just me. Besides that issue, the drink was awesome and the atmosphere pretty chill. I only went because my friend had never been there but at least next time he knows where it is so he can go on his own because I sure won't.

Been to a couple of events and tried the food. Am pleasantly surprised at the taste of the entrees offered at this grungy bar. Getting a burger whenever possible is a must. It's the right amount of fresh and simple. The greasy patty cannot be argued with. Events are lackluster, and meant for the target audience. Messy Bear: chili, queso, onions, & pickles (I had tomatoes added and there was a mess from eating this burger)

Fun spot to hangout with friendly bartenders. On Sundays, highly recommend getting a Bloody Maria with Tequila. The bartender made one of the best ones I’ve had to date.

I work in the area and happened to see the flashing light open, i love burgers and decided to try a burger from here. I ordered a double patty burger and mozzarella sticks to go. I received my food and left to eat it at work, i opened up the mozzarella sticks that looked great until i started eating them and half were cooked to long and lost the cheese from inside. Now the burger is a different story, first appearance was WOW factor meaning looked delicious until i looked at the patty and saw that it wasn't cooked enough, i ordered the burger medium but this was definitely a rare cooked burger. I didn't have time to go back so i just took the patties off and cooked them in the microwave for 2 minutes which cooked them perfectly to medium temp. Very disappointing because i love burgers and they will not see me again based on this. Good luck with your business and I wish you the best. NOTE: The staff that waited on me was ...

I just have to say that the younger Hispanic dude that served me today was so nice and inviting but also made the best drink I’ve had in the 3 years I’ve been coming here. It’s sucks when the night time bartenders come because they all have attitudes and treat you like trash. And they’re all the white ones who apparently are all in a relationship together. It’s really draining and saddening how the atmosphere changes once one of them come in. Nothing but attitude and dirty looks till they see I’m a good tipper. They really need to hire new guys that aren’t in that polyamorous relationship who can actually be nice fun and have a good vibe. This is 3 years of coming here and dealing with these guys over and over again. The iron bear needs to do better. These guys are making your business look bad to the community!!!! Please...

Friendliest gay bar in the area that gives the best vibes. People just seem happy here, and that's because all are welcomed and nobody thinks they are better than anyone else. Wings on Monday are phenomenally, as is the Queso. Good, strong drinks for a great price. They have pool and a TouchTunes where you can pick your own music. This has become one of our new go tos. If you need the run down on the gay clubs downtown. Iron Bear- absolutely. OCH- great place to watch drag race queens Highland- great or horrible depending on the night Rain- absolutely awful, Judgmental gays that work there and horrible prices Cheer up Charlie's- amazing Halcyon- not a gay bar, but extremely gay friendly with awesome vibes

If you want a fun night out with friends, I def recommend starting and ending your night at Iron Bear, you...
