Showed up a handful of times. First time, Hispanic middle aged male bartender took GREAT care of us. Checked up on us often and gave good Menu recommendations. 3rd time, this guy “Silver Dragon” made a rude misogynistic, emasculating comment over my partner paying our first round of beverages. She was offended because she also works hard to be capable and he insinuated that I was not raised right because his father “raised him that way.” He said that he would always buy for his friends and partners, no matter what. To be fair he conceded that we were in a different generation, with more equity. He then dropped the ball by having the audacity to comment that he wished he was part of the new generation; he said he would have much more money in the new generation, being very ignorant over the fact that wages haven’t kept up with the rate of inflation, let alone the difficult job market of the modern era.

A good number of TVs and a wide selection (albeit not exhaustive) of sports channels. The staff was really responsive to adjusting what's on if they have it.
Overall yes, it's an older building and the location isn't ideal but it's got solid vibes, good variety of music, a good number of TVs, excellent food, and great staff. If this place's style works for you, it's a great spot to...
