Kind workers and awesome atmosphere! Love going here with friends to play some pool and listen to music. Have NOT tried the food but it looks great!

An overall good bar with a good beer selection. Had the daughter of one of the bartenders take my seat, so I waited behind them for a while, until they asked how to unlock my phone. Then they stole my drink claiming it was theres.... Then complained to other patrons that I was messing/stealing with her drink (which wasn't hers as she had a standard pint glass all night vs a 2 pint mug....) I was told I was abrashive for calling them out, which I did politely and in a low calm volume as I recognized they were inebriated. I spent over 600$ the past week at that location but the Nepotism makes it a hard pass. The do no wrong mentality of an obviously drunk party due to ties with a worker, paired with the defense of the bartender who cut them off after is too much. I tabbed out after getting a replacement drink, but was hoping it would be a local bar I could frequent. I shall not be returning, as it was clear that night that I wasn't welcome.

They put a $40 hold on your card for an unknown amount of time with no warning. My tab was $6.. they made sure to take that out immediately. I'm still waiting for the $40 to be put back on my card. Thanks.

Rob wasn't cool for treating patrons as if they're a bother. Walk in there and see. He gets upset as if money is an issue, yet he relies on addicts to fund his success. Enabler. He isn't friendly. You can run a business, but your racism is no excuse to treat Haskell students bad bc you're overworked. Don't open A bar, boy.

The new diamond tables are great! I only took 2 stars off the atmosphere because the food announcements are REALLY bad. Hard to hear what is said and upstairs it is sooooo loud.

Put a 40 dollar hold on my card without giving any notice. When I decided to pay cash instead, the hold persisted for 3 weeks. I know it's just 40 bucks, but some warning before they insist on starting a tab would be nice.
