Good staff, great atmosphere, would have loved to have the stage in a different location so more people could enjoy the event

The venue could use a ventilation system for the "kitchen". If they have an exhaust system, it needs to be cleaned or repaired. It was very "greasy" smelling. I used the ladies restroom and the only stall available did not have a toilet seat. As someone who has had 3 knee surgeries, it can be difficult to squat. I managed, but really, buy a freaking seat! Out of 5 bartenders, only one was friendly. Beer selection is eh. I asked for a glass for my can beer, but after seeing how dirty it was, opted to keep the can. Dive bar status has been earned. 😆 Went for the music, but will likely try to see bands at another venue. On a positive note, the patrons were friendly and polite. Door staff were friendly.

This place is the worst, I am a bartender and a musician, I wanted to love it. The people behind the bar are the absolute worst examples of the trade. Whoever owns this place needs a real wake up call.

So, they advertise free and then try to charge cover at the door, anyone else run into this deceitful behavior?

Patrick Huyghe | Sep 18, 2021
Paul Jennings | Sep 18, 2021

When a live band is playing, there has always been a cover charge. The bands don't play for free and the cover, $5-$10 only pays for 1/2 the band fees. Overhead, bouncers, sound guy, insurance, taxes, etc are on all the bar profits. Where else can you go for so cheap to listen to some good regional bands? NOWHERE!
