    Went last night with my HUSBAND, and his friend. I’m 20, so obviously I was NOT drinking I was the DD. I walked up to the bar to order a coke under my husbands tab. They asked for my ID and ofc I hand it to him. He tells me I’m under 21 and cannot be in here granted we get there at about 7. My knowledge is that most bars do the 21+ after a certain time, the bartender proceeds to tell me I need to leave. So we go outside on the patio I’m waiting for my husband to finish his beer, another guy comes out telling me to leave and I respond “ I’m waiting for my husband to finish his beer then we are leaving” he basically told me he didn’t care and told me I had to leave. First of all, you have NO SIGNS that say 21+ Second of all to my knowledge, I’m allowed to be with my HUSBAND, regardless of where we are. Probably won’t be coming back the service isn’t the best and the bartenders don’t even work they flirt with any walking thing that walks in.

    The atmosphere was dead when I walked in given it was a Sunday, I had originally went when it was lively that same night but was made a aware my license was expired. No issue bc I went to go grab my passport and returned afterwards, There was a different doorman this time which revised my passport. After the pat down I was let in with no issue I walked around for a bit and moments later the original door guy had told The second door guy who let me in (and revised my passport, plus pat down) tell me to leave, Seemed to me that it was a rude and petty power trip by the first doorman because I was let in without issue with my passport. The place was dead at the time but it seemed like to good place to buy a beer or two. Unfortunately my money was not spent there nor will it be in the foreseeable future due to the unprofessional handling of the situation with zero understanding or courtesy, considering I had to go out of my way to get my passport to comeback with valid id.

    The comment that goes with a yelp two stars stands true "Meh. I've experienced better." The music was decent and the bar area was pretty crowded. Ambience wise, I really liked the lighting and the tables by the bar. They were just wide enough to place a drink and long for many people to sit. They have an outdoor patio with a mist. There is also plenty of room for dancing in front of the DJ. The crowd is varied and I would say more of a late 20s and up crowd. (at least when I went) As for drinks, I ordered a vodka soda with lime and the lime was rotten. Limes should always be fresh at a bar. One bad lime can ruin a drink.

    Best Bar on southside W7th. Awesome bartenders and good drink prices. They have some steady regulars who aren't the young TCU crowd you see on the weekends in the area.

    Good place to dance. Great mix of people. Open out door area and the views are great. Tends to get crowded so be prepared for that. They have a few 90s arcade games inside as well which is always a plus. Worth checking out

    The bartenders have attitude like a bottle service girl but look like a chilis server

    I’ve been to this bar a few times and I have never had a bad experience. The staff is always friendly, the drinks are always strong, and the DJ rarely disappoints. Saturday night is always a sure bet for a good time.

    This place definitely feels like a local spot. Just like the name says. Close, comfortable, and a cool place. You can make this place your regular spot. I'll keep coming back.

  • 1/5 Angel Christmas J. 1 year ago on Google
    An employee by the name of Brian was very rude. The pool table took our quarters and most of the games are broken, do not recommend. The bartender however was very friendly and I loved the “hole in the wall” feel of this establishment.

    Great place to swing by for a drink

  • 5/5 Keddrick R. 6 years ago on Google
    This place has a wonderful staff and always playing great music and always have a great vibe. The drinks are always on point. And Mikey is the best Manager ever. This place is by far one of my favorite bars to come to.

    The ambiance here is always great. One of my favorite hangout spots. The bartenders are always in a good mood and drinks are affordable. It is never too crowded which in my opinion is a huge plus.

    Wonderful new restaurant in the west 7th area. Great sandwiches! And the hostess Mikey is so nice! He loves crackers. Make sure and make this a stop when you visit here. Bartender Kim is best around!

    Chill vibes and drink cost are low compare to other places on 7th. Good place to start and then move around.
