Great place. I am from Florida, was wondering from my hotel and walked into this place. So welcoming. Bar owner bought me a drink walking in to welcome me! Go here!
Love this venue for the cool vibes and the awesome shows they host! Check out Circus of Sin and other events on their calendar. Drinks are well priced and stiff. Vibe is a punk dive bar with stickers in the bathroom and kitch on the walls and ceilings. Pool table is available when a show isn't going on. Love this place!
The service here was consistently attentive, even with a lively crowd enjoying the bands, which really made for a smooth experience. The staff did a great job managing the flow, ensuring everyone was taken care of without feeling rushed. It's clear they prioritize customer satisfaction, making it a solid choice for a night out!
The staff may come off as rude; however, I think it is because of the punk culture, not necessarily who they are. The live music is okay. CASH ONLY.
Used to be a good bar ((BUT)) ever since they’ve got that one bouncer/ID Checker, short dark haired guy, it’s not even worth going. This guy acts like he’s the San Jose police, and treats you like your obliterated drunk, even if you’ve only had soda to drink. Doesn’t matter, I’m telling you this place is not even worth going after that Sad excuse for a bouncer got hired. It’s not our fault that You only make a certain amount a year or you don’t have a good life, but you don’t have to take it out on everyone else, we’re here to have a normal time, not deal with a gaslighting control freak.
A cool venue but if you order a drink it’ll taste like someone else’s drink and if you watch them wash out the cups you’ll understand they aren’t cleaned just dipped into a sink already full of water.
Great small bar, with pool table, friendly staff. Played rock and county most of the night. Reasonably priced.
