The Terminal Bar
From the Leather Bar offers a laid-back, no-frills experience that blends rustic charm with a lively atmosphere. Known for its karaoke sessions and open mic nights, the venue caters well to groups, especially on quieter evenings. The space is ideal for gatherings, though service consistency can vary—some patrons report occasional miscommunications with staff.
The bar’s diver vibe and community feel shine during off-peak hours, where engaging conversations and a relaxed setting take center stage. However, past incidents suggest uneven treatment, particularly regarding access policies and drink service fairness. Overall, it’s a spot with potential for fun, but attentiveness to guest experience remains an area for improvement.

Customer Reviews
The Terminal Bar has a rating of 4.2 out of 5 based on over 293 reviews on Google
Got short changed by the bartender. I bought a Hamms Tall Boy for $5 and paid with a $20 and got $8 back. That's the most expensive Hamms Tall Boy I've ever bought. It was somewhat empty on a busy Saturday night after Halloween so it's great for big groups. There was karaoke. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
My friend group and I were bar hopping and came across the terminal. Such a gem if you’re looking for a dive bar with a community feel. We were the only people in there and had the pleasure of talking to Laurel. Great stories and conversation. Thanks for a great experience!
There's one bartender working here that won't even let you in the establishment if there arent women in your group. Been here three times and the same guy has been extremely weird and creepy based on the perceived gender of patrons (literally ignored the men in my group on multiple occasions while giving free drinks to women). Weird and creepy. One instance of arriving before bar close to find the door locked, and the guy made a big show of "letting us in" (retrospect, extremely red flag behavior). One instance of making free drinks for my gal friends and snapping at me when I was like "hey why don't I get one?". One instance of not even taking my order. I feel like three strikes deserves a one star review.
Best Karaoke in the city. The stage and sound system beats any other bar. Monday open mic night is another good night to stop in.
Stopped in yesterday for a quick pre-dinner drink and really appreciated the bartender and atmosphere. Relaxed vibe and an underappreciated gem in northeast.
One of the only dives in this area and always one of my favorites. Has karaoke and live music on the weekends and is always an experience.
Great St Anthony spot for local shows, cold beer and warm smiles.
