The pressed tin ceiling & free jukebox playing oldies create a vintage vibe at this local bar.

Definitely a small local place pub/bar but people were definitely friendly, drinks were big. A little dusty and could use a good deep clean and everytime I asked for a soda it was flat. Still overall if I lived in the area I would definitely stop by more to just have a drink and sit outside and enjoy. (Small intimate outdoor area)

A whiskey bar with no pretense and fantastic drinks. I don't really drink very often. The few times I've had whiskey drinks there, they have been immaculate. I'm a big fan of the taco truck that is outside of Hotsy Totsy. Most nights I don't even go into the bar and I just get a burrito.

I want to like the Hotsy. Cool, old school bar vibes, solid cocktails. The service, however, leaves a lot to be desired. The solo bartender is often overworked for sure, but unfortunately for me this led to my debit card getting stolen by a bar patron and then used at the Hotsy the very next night! They keep your card if you open a tab, which is a bit antiquated these days. When I closed my tab recently I forgot to pull my card out of the mobile machine they placed on the counter. That was my fault. But then the bartender left the machine on the counter for so long that a patron took my card from the machine. Then, when the thief used my card the next night, the bartender didn't check the name or signature against an ID! I did go back to the Hotsy the next night to check for my card, but nobody could find it and really didn't seem too concerned about finding, either. All of this could have been avoided if the bartender had not been trying to multitask so frantically that they couldn't just properly and fully close my tab, or check IDs to make sure patrons are using the correct debit/credit card! And this is notwithstanding Hotsy being the kind of place where patrons take advantage of customers and the overly busy bartender. Update: Interestingly, I received a call from the Hotsy after posting my initial review telling me they magically found my card. I am not sure how this is possible after they couldn't find it the next night and a stranger used the card, but it does make me even more hesitant to ever go back.

There is an incredible taco truck parked outside, but no true food here that I can give them credit for. Bartenders here are great if they’re in a good mood. Try to sit up at the bar if you can…you’ll enjoy this killer dive bar better that way.

Food in the food truck in front of the bar was good. The bar has a nice atmosphere, but the tables weren't cleaned when we sat and my 5$ draught coke had no gaz. The barman did replace it with a can, thx, but no gaz neither. Wasn't gonna come back 2 him a second time. Serve proper coke and clean the tables guys. Else it's fine 🙂

The atmosphere is a fun retro vibe. They play vintage soft core movies on the TV (but you can sit in a spot out of view if that bothers you). Bartenders really know their stuff, seasonal drinks are creative and delicious. There's a lot of regulars and the bar is a little small (and can get crowded on popular nights) but usually we can find a seat. They don't serve food but the taco truck next door is great and you can bring your tacos inside. There's a shuffleboard table and a lounge area in the back.

What an amazing place! I came here as a female alone but the vibe is great and welcoming! People are very friendly to talk to and they serve great cocktails. Can’t wait to try more on their seasonal menu! Oh and don’t forget the food truck!
