They attract a lot of good bands. However, one of their bartenders should be fired. I was invited to see a friend’s and and was buying beer one at a time without tipping with the intention of tipping at the end of the night. However, on my 3rd beer after 90 minutes, he said I was cut off and just gave me the dirtiest look. I’ve never been cut off in my entire life. I was just about to buy shots for my friends too, but we all decided to go somewhere with better service.

I’ve heard other similar experiences too, so there’s really no way myself or anyone I know is coming back, including some bands. I’ve been there dozens of times over the years, but it’s never impressed me. The only cool thing about the place now is that you can leave and go to a better bar across the street where you can drink while playing video games.

If you go there for a show, know the bartenders across the street will treat you kindly with respect. See your show at Al’s but do all your drinking elsewhere.

They don’t have food. The bathrooms are dirty. The employees are awful.
