Went a few weeks ago with a couple friends at 11 pm on a Sunday night. The bar was not packed at all however the red headed bartender seemed very irritated that paying customers had shown up and she had to leave her group of friends and put her shot down to come ask us what we wanted. We asked for a couple of drinks off the drink specials that were displayed. She told us those were yesterdays drink specials that she hadnt had time to take down and couldnt honor those ( again this is at 11 at night, dont know why there wasnt any time to erase a dry erase board?) So we asked about a couple prices on drinks and placed our orders. When she came back with out drinks, she told us the price had changed, we immediately objected and she reluctantly said she would honor the price (which she had just given us 3 minutes earlier) for this one drink only. She seemed really annoyed and little drunk at this point. She let one of my friends know that backwards hats were not allowed, he was completely fine with that and took his hat all the way off right away. She then went back over to her group of friends. Some of them were wearing backwards hats and we asked why it was ok for them to wear it, she told us it was none of our business. We dont mention it again and continue our conversation and finish our drinks. SHe never once came back to us to see if we would like another drink so we decided we werent welcome there, only her friends were. We left to go across the street to Pirates Tavern. When we were leaving a man was coming up to the bar and asked us who was bartending, we told him some red headed lady. He said "OH NO" and turned right around and went across the street to pirates tavern with us who seemed very welcoming to paying customers when we came in. Guess that bartender is not known for her "stellar service". This bar used to be fun years ago, but that bartender was so unnecessarily rude that i dont ever see me going back. Since then I have talked to several people who have said the same things about this certain bartender.

After ordering decent level whiskey drinks and beer on tap, tab would have constituted a really good tip, especially since Ive been in the service industry and know how valuable they are. Angie hung out and talked to her girlfriend at the bar ignoring us walking up to the bar. We sat there for ten minutes in an empty bar(save Angies gf). If this business wants more business I know where they should look. Hire and fire. Terrible service. Bartender looked right at us and went on talking to friend about guy trouble. Finally had to ask someone who walked in if they knew her name since she didnt answer when I said miss? Excuse me? We wanted a makers mark and an old fashioned. They rudely explained how they had nothing to create either. They also couldnt make the special bull blaster of the night. Bartender was outside smoking more than working!

Its barely alright.........ice cold beer, but heavily controlled by the regulars. I put music (paid) on the jukebox, but a regular turned the t.v. up louder. I asked the bar tender to turn the t.v. down because I paid for music, but she was vetoed by the owner. First customer there gets to control the remote...usually someone that has no business with it in their hand.

Anytime you have to provide an Id to hold along with your credit card count me out I have no problem showing my ID. for them to check but anytime someplace wants you to give them your ID to and credit to hold either someone is on a power trip or something wrong is taking place.

The golden tee game cancels your play if you use the bathroom. They need to get rid of the timer. Will not come back until they do.

Bartenders lack basic skills to make drinks properly, but are friendly. For beer and shots its cool.
