McCoy's Barrelhouse & Grill — Restaurant in Erie

I came with a group of people and as we were handing the bouncers our IDs, when they got to mine, they stopped checking IDs and told us to have a good night. We were all confused as to what was happening because were all of age (I’m 24 and the oldest of the group).

Unfortunately we may have visited McCoy’s on an off night because the vibes were just not there. This seems like a cool spot when it’s busy, but it was dead when we went. We were also told that there was a dress code, so I specifically wore jeans here to adhere to that, but there were people wearing sweatpants and slides so idk if the dress code is real or not. They did have a dart machine which was cool, but it was positioned in an awkward spot where we always felt in the way. Would love to give this place another chance but yeah it was an...
