However, the quality of service can be inconsistent, with some patrons reporting attentive and friendly staff, while others have encountered rude and disorganized behavior.

The overall experience can vary greatly depending on the visit. Some patrons have reported pleasant and memorable experiences, especially during special occasions.

Young hoe

Miller was rude to me when my friend made a Mistake which getting the drinks, and instead of trying to get my order the just wanted to argue. My first thought when interacting with miller was "how many shots deep are they/what did they smoke" I had to repeat myself multiple times not because it was loud but because they kept forgetting our order. At one point they tried to give me another persons order… Mind you this was the first time coming to this bar and will probably be my last because if how incompetent/inebriated and rude miller was… cant imagine how the rest of them are. TLDR: Miller was lucky my friend was paying because if I was, they would not get a tip.

A friend that lives nearby this bar invited me out and we walked here rather than paying for an Uber in town. It was quiet, but it was early and we were greeted by the bartender nicely. She asked to see our ID's, which we complied to. She took them and was holding them under the dim refrigerator light and seemed to get excited, exclaiming they were fakes? She rattled off some information like our expiration date and birthdate aren't the same. We quickly tried to show her they were the same. Then, she slammed our ID's down and said "even if they are real, you aren't getting served here". The other patrons over hearing this got involved and my friend and I sat through a public embarrassment about having fake ID's. (Mind you we are both 25 and extremely confused as to why we just got kicked out of this bar) We will not be returning. This occurred 10/11/25 @ 10:30pm...

The Bar’s name says it all. Mandy is a literal lifesaver. I have known her to turn people back from the grave literally come as you are the most welcoming bar I’ve been to in Ohio.
