Im sure this is a fun spot for locals and regulars. My review is in no way a reflection on what this place is like for a local dive bar. I'm sure the regulars love it and that's fine. We went there to see a music act called bad santa, which was to play fun parody style christmas songs. The warm up acts started late, and the sound was really bad. I think the warm up band was speaking english but you couldn't understand a word they were saying. They spent so much time doing sound checks to make sure the audio was good on the stage for the band but failed to walk off stage and actually validate what it sounded like for those in attendance. We didn't even stay for the band that we were over charged for by buying tickets in advance. When we arrived we found out that we could have just paid a "Donation" at the door. While waiting for the main band which apparently wasnt going to start until midnight (instead of 930) we were confronted by multiple patrons who were super drunk, super high, or just unstable or possibly all 3. Maybe the vibes are great for the locals, or people who enjoy getting wasted and making drunk friends, but I wouldn't recommend this place if you run across it like me and my family did on a list of "Things/events to do" while on vacation...
Ā Ā Ā Read morePhoned an order in ..(you know the old fashioned way) So, was met with a guy on the other end of the line that had no idea really if a) he could do that (take an order from a customer who's coming by to pick up something from your kitchen. I'm sorry but are you in the business of making money at this establishment?)-- okay next: b.) Where a pen is & c.) told me it would be ready in about 10 minutes . I really don't have issue except with (c) it was more like a 30-minute wait for a cheeseburger to go out of their kitchen cooked perfectly, nicely presented I might change one thing that I didn't care for and that was eating mac and cheese that was like shells and cheese. I would go a step further and make it a little more homemade or something??? I don't know but for the price of $11 the burger was fine to go maybe have a different option for a side other than mac and cheese young lady at the bar very efficient took my money made sure I got my order later never saw her again until my order was ready-all good- you know I expect such a high level of customer service and then when I don't get it..I'm so disappointed even in a bar. P.S.-I'm harder on folks i guess because I'm in C.S. (customer...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWent in for lunch with my husband and 13 year old while travelling and was treated poorly by a rude bartender. After we ordered a beverage and sat down to play an arcade game, he pointed my son out and shamed "I am OK with him being in here as long as you watch him." Mind you, this place advertises FULL MENU & has ageless novelty games and pinball. Upon ordering a second beverage, he hollered at me to NOT put them on the table. At this point, I did not think it was worth mentioning the poorly poured margirita and bloody Mary that declined in quality over the first round. We decided we were unwelcome and left, swiftly. It's a shame - we were hoping to have lunch. Overall poor experience despite cool atmosphere and being recommended by a local record shop in the same neighborhood. If washed up day time too cool for school sorry punk rock bartenders are your thing - it will be a great fit. Otherwise, I would say skip...
