Bar 548 was quick to correct an improper balance stated on my bank card and was extremely apologetic! They do care! All issues have been fixed! Please support your local bars and bartenders!

Five stars adjusted on the sliding scale because it’s exactly what you should expect from a bar. Basic well Bloody Mary, classic rock, a hint of the old days’ smokiness and the requisite pool table and juke box. Do it.

This place used to be a solid dive, but it’s gone completely downhill. I stepped away from the bar for literally two minutes — there were only three people there besides me — and my sunglasses mysteriously disappeared. When I asked the new bartender about them, she gave a long, awkward look to a girl sitting at the bar next to the manager. There was no one else around, so make of that what you will. When I spoke up, the manager immediately started yelling and talking trash instead of handling it professionally. On top of that, they’ve raised their prices to match much nicer bars, which makes no sense. The only reason this place was ever worth going to was because it was cheap. This also wasn’t a one-time issue — people regularly steal vapes or anything they can get their hands on here. If you want to overpay while worrying about your stuff getting stolen, this is the spot. Otherwise, avoid it. Poorly managed, lost its way, and going downhill fast. We need a new bar at 548.

Walking into the Bar the first thing to enjoy is the nice cool AC. Then looking around the bar is some awesome artwork displayed for sale. Love the fact that local artists have a chance to show off their talent. Bartender was friendly and attentive to our needs. Great specials on drinks even on a weekend afternoon. Cheers.

Bartenders are generally decent, $20 minimum on card purchases. Awesome local art, for sure a late night staple known in the community. Judgment free zone. I recommend to those that like a little spice, a d adventure, along with a smorgasbord of personalities to ponder conversation with.

Excellent drinks. We had 2 of the old fashioned and Excellent espresso martini. However there seemed to be an AC issue and the temperature was uncomfortable in this beautiful bar. Hopefully that is a temporary issue

Walked into this cool dive bar early afternoon and were totally blown away. Long and narrow, balcony in the back and a wide variety of friendly folks. Artwork tastefully displayed on the walls-local artists .... and it's for sale. Took a seat at the bar and bartender Courtney greeted us promptly. Available were lots of taps including local craft beers and liquor for cocktails. We enjoyed talking to Courtney, looking at the art and reading quirky signage throughout the place. We'll be gong again soon and will certainly tell others about our pleasant experience. ParkMobile app made it easy to get a close inexpensive parking spot too.
