Rawhide Lounge

Had lots of fun here. Good music, friendly people. Down side, it’s credit card only bar so you need to have plastic to drink which makes the wait time longer, specially when their card readers go down, then the wait will be longer. Staff was mostly uninterested and over it. But without all that said. The fun weighs any negatives.

Used to be such a great place, not even sure how they pay the rent anymore. was here in march and it was much the same, Walk in on a Saturday night at 11pm and there is 4 people inside, no music on, more excitement at a funeral, or maybe it was their funeral. Credit card only, which i don’t mind, but why would any bar not take cash?? Needless to say, it was a one and done visit. Sadly I think the city and covid have taken its toll on the business. But ownership could do some minor improvements to make the atmosphere a little more inviting and desirable. Hope they get it together before they become another extinct closed gay bar.

Pride weekend and your establishment was a disappointment big-time!! Service was slow and they both did not know what to hell they were doing. Evening time came by and still slow service and out of drinks when asked his words I don’t wanna go get it. You don’t tell customers that. Owners or management should have been there you know it’s pride and a busy weekend. Get some bartenders that wanna work not just collect.

This is a great bar, great service, great clientele. Great drinks. Highly recommend

My husband and I were in town for the gay Easter parade, March 31, 2024. We walked in at 3 p.m. Only a handful of patrons (6) and 2 bartenders. No big deal. Stood there 25 minutes before either of them greeted us. I ordered our drinks, a gin and tonic and bud light. The tonic was flat, so I told our bartender, Riley, manager too, I believe. His reply was "I changed that yesterday, it cannot be out". I've worked on the service industry for years myself. I ask, politely, was the line bled? He asks, "what do you mean?" Needless to say, he didn't try to bleed the line and we left without that drink. The cost of the 2 drinks was $10 and I left a $3 tip. Now we were at its sister bar, Cafe' Lafittes in Exile. Same 2 drinks were $11.50 plus a $3 tip. Much better service from Nicholas and Jason!

Great bar, cheap but strong drinks, excellent bartender! Pool table was fun, even though we suck. Maybe cleanest bathroom in Qtr.

1 am on a Thursday. No bartender to be found for a solid 15 minutes. Was unable to order a drink and left. It was pretty dead anyway (maybe 6-8 people), so not much love lost. Having someone available to make a drink is step 1 in operating a bar, unless I’m missing something.

Great place if you want to exit on a stretcher. (Reference: 12/27/23 EMT visit). Absent management. Awesome bartenders,tho. Drop / Pop / Slop / Cop / Flop That pretty much covers it. They deserve ONE star and worked hard for it
