Brandy Simmons

Held my class reunion here. Words can't explain how accommodating the owner and staff were. Everything was beyond my expectations, especially since I planned the event out of state. Michael (the owner) is very responsive and attentive to all of our requests. Not only that, he made sure that the bar was decorated with our school emblem and colors! Needless to say, we will be doing business with The Crest in 2024. The food was outstanding! Shout out to Glenn! And, the bar staff...friendly & superb!

Really chill place to catch up with friends. Never had a problem here. Chill and not rowdy place. Only beautiful souls come here. Bartenders are great and super nice. Only one private restroom for women/men. But I don't mind because no one ever takes long.

Amazing bar, Jose was very nice; an amazing and attentive bartender. He made us feel very welcomed and made sure everything was on point! The place is very cozy with a nice terrace where you can smoke while having your drink. I had a great time! A place I would highly recommend.

Fun Gay bar with great bartenders and interesting and friendly clientele. Even if you come on your own you’ll always find it easy to strike up a conversation with someone. Drinks and beer are not overly priced with certain nights having drink specials. They also host some fun events like Trivia Night, Drag Race Viewings and Loteria Night.

Love this place. Its very cute and the energy is always super welcoming. I have been here many time with friends, and I actually brought my mom here for her birthday and our favorite bartender Ricardo made us all his special drinks. Highly reccommend!
