Absolutely love Pekers! The vibe here is always on point – a perfect mix of energy and laid-back comfort. The people are friendly, and it feels like everyone is just there to have a great time together. The staff is amazing – always attentive, welcoming, and fun. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick drink or hanging out for the night, Pekers never disappoints. Highly recommend!

It shows they close at 2am. Showed up at 1:20 and they were already closed. Staff was unapologetic. 2 other customers tried to get in but closed. This is the third time this has happened to me. If they want to close early they should close at 1. Wasted time.

I'm more than happy to change to a 5 star review if the service and professionalism improves here, but I go mostly for the karaoke nights alone as people I met there like the more unique songs I do, and while I'm sitting in the corner alone, none of the servers come and ask me if I'd like to order anything the way they do others, but instead make passive aggressive remarks behind my back about me coming in never ordering anything, which is not true, I have ordered drinks before on slower nights, but it seems that when it's really busy, it seems the bartenders want a little more bang for their buck than someone who when ordering 2 drinks for himself, a 15% tip would be barely over a dollar, so if the owner wants to come outside and yell at me for not buying any drinks, I told him that was fine, I'd buy one, but I didn't leave a tip when being told that way when I was never approached in there by any of the servers coming by giving drinks to other people asking how they could help, so it seemed just one guy taking up a small unused corner table in between performances in which participating in itself and entertaining others is part of what keeps them coming back and buying drinks was not all that important. If the expectation is that I have to walk to the bar to get my drinks when they're being delivered to other tables, it wasn't made clear. However, I'm a very reasonable person that wants to support a business that provides this extra service, so I'm happy to change my review with an improvement next visit, but it was kind of rude the way I was asked.

We really had a great time here last Saturday night! The karaoke DJ was a lot of fun and the drinks were fantastic. I had my first pickle back shot which was surprisingly tasty. The bartenders were very friendly and fast.

This place is only getting one start so that I can write this review. Racial slurs are used freely here. If you are a person of color this is not a safe space. My sister and I went and were made to feel very uncomfortable by the regulars, and the DJ due to the heavy use of racial slurs.

This is in response to the review about racial slurs being used. I’m Tayler’s sister. We went for the first time on May 10th around 10:30. To clarify, the racial slur was used in the lyrics to a song a regular patron chose to sing. When we asked another regular we’d been talking to before and the person about the use of the word it seemed to be a problem only because we said we were uncomfortable, while also using dismissive language to explain things away. The MC also noted (aggressively I might add) that he’s tired of people having a problem with someone singing a song as it’s written and if we are upset we should write a letter to who wrote it. There were other patrons who sung songs with slurs in the lyrics and chose to skip over them. As Black women we are very uncomfortable going to a place where these types of words are used so freely and will not be back because of this.

Someone calling himself the "property manager" having a beer at the patio of PEKERS Bar tried stopping me from parking in the lot. I was going to the Domino's next door. I don't like the harassment and language that they are trying to keep the lot clean. Excuse me

The bartenders and owners are very friendly. Same with both the Karaoke DJ's. Awesome crowd. Haven't had any issues since I started going. You want a place that is laid back, go to Peker's. You won't be disappointed.
