I came to check this spot out, AND 1 thing to find out for myself what’s really going on. And I haven’t been here like in 15years, and am just amazed of the improvement meaning how it looks and the selection of stuff to drink. Amazing selection to choose to drink from. And this place don’t even look the same
Recently, was there and the atmosphere was great, and I really miss, this is how it ustull be back in the day. Where you can have a drink and enjoy your self. Like back in the day type of atmosphere. I would really recommend this spot.
Not accommodating to people in wheel chairs. Overheard the owner saying she didn't want her floors scratched.....
Went there last sat for a show and I watched the staff tell a person in a wheelchair that’s he can’t bring the wheelchair in . It may scratch the floor !!!!!! What kind of place is this ? Never come here again !!!!!
Upon leaving a music event the owner came up to me and my group of friends questioning how I knew the band or not when I was directly invited, then went on some random rant about how they want this to be a safe space when the entire time me and my friend group sat in the corner not interacting with anybody. Felt very random and almost intimidating for no reason, will not be returning and neither should you if your not a "regular" not welcoming!
This is one of the best places in Rockford to find underground original shows from local bands and touring underground bands as well!
went for free music event/ were invited from a mutual friend on fb and was sitting in the corner just enjoying music w my friends and upon leaving the bar attended/ maybe owner was definitely intimidating my friends group saying how shes worked real hard at cleaning this place up and how shes "weeded out" the bad people and how she has never seen us before and made it apparent that we were first timers. it turned very uncomfortable very fast with her questioning but it was just random and unnerving as we purchased drinks beforehand and was again just enjoying the music.
