I loved coming here for a good night out, but my friends phone was stolen this past weekend. His credit card was charged for thousands of dollars and his bank account drained. People pray on people here just looking to have a good time. Please be careful when you’re here, don’t be vulnerable.
My phone was stolen directly out of my pocket while I was standing at the bar. What made the situation even more upsetting was the complete lack of concern from the staff. When I immediately reported what had happened, both the bartender and the door staff dismissed the situation and acted as if I was overreacting instead of offering any help. Having a phone stolen is stressful enough, but the response from the establishment made the situation far worse. When incidents like this occur, customers deserve at minimum basic support, awareness, and a willingness to assist — especially in a crowded environment where security and awareness should be a priority. As someone who spends a lot of time visiting and recommending nightlife spots, this was extremely disappointing. I hope management takes situations like this more seriously moving forward
This bar always had troubles from the get go, outdated equipment that never worked and never took the time to get it updated. Next let’s talk about the food, at first there was no food at all and then they decided to bring in a chef by the name of Tiffany, the food was not for the bar crowd and no one ever enjoyed it, she had pictures of chicken tender and burgers on the menu and when I inquired about it, I was told that they were just stock photos. Well maybe not put them on the menu’s then. We also had issues because she did not want outside food but when asked if it was okay from the owner he said it was okay, but then it still be came an issue. Even when I let her and the "security" guard know that this was okayed by the owner I still got yelled at and nothing was ever done. Yes this is a dive bar but even dive bars should have standards. Do better.
Beware, I was here last night and got roofied from a free drink my friend had gotten from the bar. This has never happened to me before and it was absolutely terrible. I also seen a video of someone else getting spiked here yesterday as well. Came to find out that this isn’t a new thing to happen, so please be very cautious!!
Tried calling Bar X to get this sorted but will be filing a police report and showing proof of other people complaining about possibly being roofied at Bar X by the bartender. There’s a white bartender who had his shirt off and had tattoos that has been allegedly putting things in peoples drinks. It happened to my friend last night, she was unable to walk and kept throwing up which she is never like this when we go out, and only had 2 drinks prior to having her last/3rd drink at Bar X where it all went downhill. Please let’s all be careful especially at this establishment which we will never go to again. It’s a shame people are like this.
multiple people have been reported to have been roofied by the bartender. police reports have been filed. for your own safety do not visit this establishment.
Visted wirh friends, and the atmosphere was chill. The music selection was not my favorite. However, I asked the DJ to play some hiphoo, and he kindly started to spin hip-hop. I wish that gay spaces in general would cater to the different demographics. If your clientele is mostly melenated, then accommodate accordingly. After just 1 round of drinks and a couple hiphop songs the techno edm was a bit much so we left. But drinks were at a great price point and as I said it's a nice space.
