Nice place, friendly Bartenders and they also have happy Hour Drink My favorite bar in GR
Chill vibe dive bar, cheap drinks, R&B on the juke, faintish smell of reefer in the air. Mix of Black and white folks just hanging out and getting along. Solid neighborhood spot.
Me and my friends have been here at many times, and every time the owner treats us badly, is really rude and stand off ish- but only when the women come. When the men in our group come by themselves, they have no issues at all. Even the men said our group get treated rudely when the women come with. I don’t what his problem is, but it seems like he truly only likes his old regulars and is never in the mood for non regulars, especially women, to come in. Very inhospitable.its not wonder it’s always dead and NOT vibing when we go.
It's a local watering hole (meant in the beat way) and the cutest little dive bar. It has well poured drinks that won't break the bank and is open until 2am. It's super chill, not judgmental, and the type of place where everyone knows everyone else. There is no food but you can bring in outside food.
RUNNNNNN! It stinks, it’s dirty, it’s dark, it’s ugly and the female who was working around 2:30pm on Fri, 26 July 2024 has the nastiest disposition one who works in customer service could have. I walked in, the miserable haggard behind the bar didn’t speak despite the fact that I did several times. I asked for a margarita, she mumbled, "I guess" and some other choice, negative, surly words. I asked her to repeat herself, she repeated the, "I guess" part and honestly, that was enough for me to tell her where she could put the drink, her funky attitude and that hole in the wall that needs disappear. Florentine’s is across the street and has decent food. Go there — go to Timbuktu — go anywhere besides this place.
Nice quiet hole in the wall type. Much more enjoyable than the hubbub of the nearby more popular bar. Drink prices were great. My nerd friends n I sat in there one afternoon hammering beers and played Magic the Gathering and nobody bothered us and we felt welcome. Don't expect great food, they just offer little snack items to munch on. I'm not in love with the area either, but it id not deter us from enjoying ourselevs.
We just moved to the area couple months ago and stumbled on this place. Lori is our favorite server and we’ve gotten lucky to have her the past few times. If you’re looking for a small bar with inexpensive drinks, pool, and a great atmosphere—this is the place to be. Bob the owner is so sweet and kind, walked up to us during a game of pool to introduce himself. This is now our go to bar and we’re regulars <3
