I haven't been here in 15 yrs. As I was with a friend from out of state and waiting for my truck to be serviced. We walked in and got no welcome, the female bartender was unwelcoming and slightly hostile while she greeted what seemed to be her ( regulars). We sat at the bar and was ignored most our visit. The food was expensive for what you get. To say the least, we both ate half of what we ordered. We were not asked if we need a refill on our drinks or needed anythang else. My friend ordered a margarita and the lime inside the drink was brown with a dark spot which looked like mold. So after our horrible experience and still tipping well, I took the rotten lime out of his drink, put it on a napkin and wrote, DO BETTER! I will never return and will highly recommend NOT TO WAIST YOUR TIME OR MONEY. Two thumbs dow👎👎

Stopped by here on my vacation before heading out to meet a friend and I think I made the mistake of stopping by mid day on a week day. The bar was decently empty and the crowd seemed a little older (I'm in my mid 20's), I asked the bartender if they had a menu or something and he reminded me that this is a gay sports bar not a restaurant... Not particularly offensive but I was just curious if there were any specials or specialty drinks lol. Prices were not bad and there seemed to be a nice selection. Overall would love to stop by again and try for a better experience, it seems like a fun place to hangout.

I was having a rough night. Unprompted and without me saying a word, both the patrons and bartenders treated me with the utmost kindness and welcomed me with (literal) open arms. Places like this are a reminder of the power and impact of our community. Places like this are a light in the dark of this life. Through even the "smallest" of gestures I was reminded that we can evolved into good things and that hope exists in random places - that night it was this pub.

Was there for the first time supporting my gay friends and we got kicket out because a declined card, he kicked them out and then us! We were still at the bar and another friend was going to pay. Without letting us pay he acted like a fool, threw a fit, and took our drinks. Mananagment is not professional and extreemly rude.

I had an incredibly disappointing experience here. The manager was extremely rude and lacked any sense of customer service — it honestly ruined the night. The prices are steep for what you get, and while the younger bartenders were kind and attentive, the two older gentlemen behind the bar were just as unpleasant as the manager. Their attitude made the whole place feel unwelcoming. Definitely not coming back, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone expecting respectful service.
