19 Bar

Been in there a dozen or so times before and after the fire. Loved the atmosphere. But then one night I came in with some new friends after a speed dating event I was going to hang out for 20 minutes before going to a friends for a thanksgiving. I asked for a glass of water they declined to give me one. Then the creepy stocky drunk guy who is apparently a manager was super rude and said I needed to buy a drink or get out. Someone offered to buy me a drink but that is just a horrible policy and i needed to go somewhereelse. Maybe if I was just sitting in the corner staring at people for two hours I'd understand but I was with atleast ten people all planning to drink. Three like myself live in the neighborhood and left with me. I left a ten dollar tip a few weeks ago after spending less than $50 on drinks and a pizza. I'm likely never stepping in there again the aditude and lack of respect is disgusting. What if I were sober and not just needing to go to another event after, what if I were the sober driver.

Was my favorite bar before it was rebuilt now its 1 drink minimum and the staff can be hostile about it. The bouncer just cares about IDs not protecting the patrons, as a lesbian woman I've gotten grabbed and touched by more cis men here than anywhere else in my daily life and I go to other queer bars. They used to have a self serve water station but now if you want more than 1 glass a night they want you to pay $2 each for a water bottle. I understand they gotta make money but I feel way less safe here than it used to be. The vibe is amazing or horrible, roll the dice.

Their food is just cute frozen pizzas nothing fancy. Cash establishment. I do love this bar and so glad it reopened. Pool tables, darts, and meeting new folks are right there!

Used to be a an incredible queer hangout space, but has drastically declined since being rebuilt. Staff is consistently rude. Bouncer doesn't protect patrons, and is just there to harass people for their IDs. Water is no longer free, and staff get annoyed at patrons when they ask. (used to be an ok space for sober queer people, definitely not the case now.) However, the bar is very popular, so the 19 can get away with whatever. Still, it could be worse.

19 is a place where younger, local LGBTQ members gather to socialize, play pool, darts and find a sense of community. Everyone is accepted. The bartenders are friendly and fast. The bar offers small frozen pizzas and chips to go with your drinks. There is a smoking area in the back of the bar but most people stay inside. It's not fancy, but it is a place where a marginalized group can congregate safely. There are really nice young people there who just want to go out and decompress.

Classic Gay bar with ultra diverse crowd who are there for cheap drinks and competitive pool. Bring cash and tip hard. It feels good.

Cheap cash bar with 3 pool tables, darts, and a patio. Pretty low key during the week (excluding Thursdays.)
