    I am 33 years old and as far as I can remember I have gone out of my way to write a bad review a total of maybe only 3 times. I say that just to inform anyone who may be reading this that I generally don’t feel compelled to complain. Only when something really upsets me and I honestly hope that this review negatively impacts this place in some way. I just got done telling my future wife that I’ve never been to a venue that seemed to have absolutely no consideration for the paying guest like this place. A few months ago I purchased tickets through Songkick to see one of my favorite bands here. My girlfriend had to work the next day so her ticket ended up going to a friend of mine who I was later embarrassed to have invited because of the time and money we wasted going to this place. He and I also had to work early the next day but he was down to trade sleep to see a band that I had been telling him was really good. Tickets said doors open at 8:30, band goes on at 9:30. Got to this hole in the wall bar at 8:30 to find the door locked and people waiting outside. We stood on the sidewalk until 9:20 when the door was finally opened. Got inside to find the bathrooms locked. They had portapotties out back through a door that said emergency exit only so I went out the front door and around to the back where I met a bouncer guarding the crappers. I showed him the stamp on my hand and he told me I needed to go through the bar even though doing so brought me through the “emergency exit only” door and back to the very same spot where the bouncer had turned me away. Anyways... I go to buy a drink and the drinks are over priced. Mind you this is not some classy bar/club...like I said it was some hole in the wall bar with nothing special about it. So now my friend and I are waiting for the band I paid to see. Some shi**y opener band goes on playing god awful music that didn’t end until about 1045 when my friend and I said f*#k this and we left without seeing the band that I so wanted to see. I understand that 1045 is not that late for a majority of people who are out to enjoy the nightlife on a Saturday. But, for those of us who have to work the next day and are just trying to seize the opportunity to see one of their favorite bands maybe you should not misinform paying guests by telling them doors open at 830 band goes on at 930 and then make those paying guests stand on the sidewalk for almost an hour. Maybe you should let people know the band they’re paying to see won’t be going on until 11pm or whatever time they finally went on after we left. Maybe you shouldn’t have bouncers who are a-holes towards a guest who had clearly paid. Maybe you shouldn’t charge ridiculous prices for drinks when your bar sucks. Thanks for nothing except to know that I will never again waste money on tickets to see a band at your bar...

    Stick with beer their mix drinks are terrible concoctions of cheap liquor. The bar is alright though, people are nice and the service good. It's a nice hang out place, but please stay away from non-canned beer everything else will make you sick; not because you had a lot to drink, but because it is cheap and bad.

    This place smells like piss. The beer tastes like piss. The floor is always sticky and so are the seats. Seriously, dive bar would be a compliment. Hay on the floor would be more sanitary. do not go here if you have even a shred of respect for yourself.

    Saw Slapshot for their 35 years of hardcore tour. It was great. They played along with Tuning and Jumped In.

    Chill place. Lively enough. Free pool table games. Bartenders are chill, professional and kind. Is definitely not a full bar. But loved it either way. A hole in the wall place. Outside area and about 7 parking spaces in the back. Juke Box has great options. $1 for 3 songs.

    Bar was super chill! I went for the Pocari Sweat event and had a great time! Great themed drinks, awesome visuals, and the music kept the night going! Looking forward to the event on the future!

    I actually love this place, have seen a lot of great bands here and the drinks selection is excellent. They made a lot of improvements to the stage and the floor, she there's alot more psace than when it used to be Hideout. Plus, they host all sorts of fun nights like the Eloteeia, Trivia, and Scrapbooking. Great sound too!

    Chill spot, they don't water down the drinks and have up to date selections. Imo a great spot for people in thier 30's. You'd be surprised of who has performed here. Very accepting place regardless of lifestyle. If in the area i would definitely go again.
