It was brisk winter afternoon as I longed for a sub-ambient tempered beverage to distract myself from my labor induced woes. Was greeted by the perfect shade of purple plastered on the side of what some people would see as a mere building but others 4 corners of salvation. The air was fitting as my ears were graced by pure 2006 teenage nostalgia in the form of in what i can only describe as the perfectly curated string of musical examples. My vision gleefully drawn to their digital entertainment in that of Street Fighter 2 and the more analog Indiana Jones pinball, but ah what is this...a utmost glorious vending machine offering the finest of what was one of the original cash crops that help build this fine country, Tobacco. The bartender lovely and optimistic asking in which form i wish to cure my woeful ailment, deep down she already knows and need not ask but the gesture of interpersonal conversation in always appreciated. As i consume my masterfully crafted elixir sitting under the conveniently hung holiday lights strung on the ceiling I take in the beauty of old and new friends conversing about the black and white movie on the ironic colored TV, a man with his canine companion enjoying a game of billiards, a young woman bashfully reading a piece of hard covered literature in a booth. An upmost unique and exuberant scene one could never plan only to fall into place genuinely. In time I was whisked away from the confines of reality and the outside world and found the place of comfort in my own diversion of self thought in which i longed for from the start of this journey. All in all the mediocre pain that is Tuesday was once again dissolved, I must say I don't Know who Lil Danny is but i would one day like to shake his hand and perhaps share the indulgence of...
Read moreOne of the WORST customer service experiences I have encountered in a long time. If they have cameras at this bar, the owner needs to replay his tapes and re-train staff.
The bartender refused me service after I had the right to ask him why I was having to show my ID a second time after showing it to the bouncer. My friend initially took the ID to the bartender for me because I was at the jukebox giving the establishment business, and the bartender made my friend pull me to the bar to personally show my ID to him. The bartender was only proud and full of ego with his responses. When I asked to speak to the owner the bartender lied and claimed it was him (later I was told by other employees he was not). The bartender refused me service for asking legitimate questions in a cordial manner. I wanted to know why I was being ID'd a second time was all. On top of that, all of the locals who frequent the bar ganged up on me and took the bartender's side whilst telling me to leave for absolutely no legitimate reason. I asked another employee for the owner's contact and he responded with "It's a dive bar no one is going to help you" which shows how much this establishment cares about new patrons. I DO NOT recommend this establishment. It's run down, staff is pretentious, and the area...
Read moreTerrible experience. Predominantly white atmosphere. I take note of it only because my friends and I were waiting in line to play pool. These Caucasian men came and cut and said we play after them. When we didn't stand for it and were not gonna get punked over that so we told them no and when the bartender showed up he said we better come down or both parties are going out. So my friends and I calmed down and when one of the men in the opposing party continues to get in my friends face they throw us out the bar and not the white people. So never going back to...
