I had an unusual and concerning experience here recently. On Friday morning, after having two Bloody Marys with food, I began experiencing symptoms that were consistent with being drugged, including loss of motor control and incoherence. Having worked as a bartender and bar back in the past, I know what that feels like, and I do not use drugs.
To be clear, I do not believe the bar or staff were at fault. Based on the level of effect, I believe it was residual contamination from a glass that had previously been tampered with, rather than anything intentional directed at me. That said, it may be worth ensuring glasses are cleaned thoroughly to prevent something like this from happening again.
My concern is not with this establishment, but with whoever thought it was acceptable to drug someone in the first place. I hope they spend the rest of their life in federal prison with a very friendly cell-mate, and I also hope they were not successful with whoever they originally tried to drug.
I do want to say, that the food was amazing, and up until I started feeling the effects of whatever substance that was lingering in my drink... I...

I've been to this establishment on multiple occasions throughout multiple times of the year and it seems quite consistent which for a business is worth at least something (if not just acknowledgment).
The alcohol is affordable and the service is quite quick and polite as they seem to know who is willing to have a chat, and who'd rather be left alone. Regulars seem to get great treatment but not at the expense of those just popping in for the first time like myself.
Overall the atmosphere is friendly and you can have a seat and discuss college football with another patron or watch 10 grown men trying to open a stuck olive jar for the cute bartender.
Weekends at night can get a bit packed but that's good for business so I won't complain. Only blemish is that I've been there enough times and still have no idea if they're serving food at that...
Read moreApparently this establishment discriminates against handicapped individuals. I tried going here with my brother, who is disabled, but the man working the door, who is supposedly the manager, claimed my brother "stumbled" which he clearly did not as I was right there witnessing and denied him entry, but he was clearly able to have a perfectly sober conversation. The "manager" stared at my I.D. for an uncomfortably long time, then instead of permitting me entry, stared at me creepily and claimed he knew me before he finally gave me a bracelet. I'm not sure what kind of people this bar employs but if you guys are going for the absolute creep and discriminatory vibe, you guys nailed it. There are better bars in Morris, that won't bully people and just let incels flex their small dick by pretending to be...
