The Fat Toad Pub

The “dress code” is only in place to exclude a very specific demographic. Also, the bouncer can be bought, but apparently the bartenders have authority to enforce dress code and not serve patrons after the fact of being let into the bar by security. This place is a complete joke and filled with minors with fake IDs. Not a bar I’d ever be caught dead in, especially now after seeing how my fiancé was treated after entering the establishment.

I wish I can do zero because they are really racist, we came in at 10:57pm, they only charged to Asian people $5/person, I have asked all white people that came right after me or 30’ before us, they didn’t charge anybody beside us, they made excuse that other people come back but actually they not because I asked them about that too.

So I was treated horribly wrong tonight . Please address me the policy why I can’t have my necklace on when I go in your bar.

Bartender stole $5 from me after I had already paid for my drink. Bathrooms are foul. Woverall very trashy atmosphere. Would not recommend under any circumstances.

The security staff is the worst. For my fist visit, the venue is decent, music was alright. An undistinguished member of security was forcing his way through the crowded dance floor and instigated a confrontation when he had difficulty traveling behind me and another group of customers. Without disclosing he was a member of staff he invited me outside, to which I refused, after I refused he grabbed me in a headlock ripping my piercing. I was dragged out of the establishment confused, bleeding, and calling for help. To my knowledge this man was an agressive stranger. This is the worst experience I've had in any establishment and will never visit here again. Reading other comments it is clear that they have a consistent issue with security staff. Do better for others safety.

I've been here many times in the past several years ago. Always a great time and memory. The bar is fairly small but there is also a upstairs area. Great music options, and very diverse crowd. Rarely got any bad or weird vibes. Overall it is a great spot for a fun night of dancing!

Drinks are usually decent and fairly priced. Not great for conversation--the music is loud. A little more like a club than a bar. The dance floor is on the first level and there is a more chilled out area with more seating upstairs. The atmosphere can be fun if you're in a partying mood but it can be a bit much, especially if that's not really you're scene. Younger, college/20s aged crowd for sure.

The DJ plays pretty basic, standard issue, status quo tunes. Better music and dancing can be had on the other side of the street. Always a fun crowd, however. The bartenders are very likeable. Never have had a bad time. Thursday nights are my favorite: not too crowded, but not too quiet either.
