The Critic
I love when bars offer food service. When you’re ordering bar food you’d expect it to hot. Everything I got was mid-cold almost like warm. I would recommend just drinking here. The atmosphere is cool? Bartenders are decent? Food ehh?
Good luck tho! New management should be able to swiftly fix the issue.

I am explicitly calling out the owner, Erin, and the bartender, Connor, for their behavior.
I was waiting for friends and briefly fell asleep at the bar. Instead of checking on me or showing even minimal concern for my safety — while my phone was dead and I had no way home — I was pushed out with no attempt to listen, help, or treat me with basic dignity.
As a person of color, this did not feel neutral. It felt discriminatory, and it confirmed a pattern I have experienced at this bar more than once. Erin and Connor showed zero empathy, zero accountability, and zero regard for my safety.
This is not a safe bar. This is not a welcoming bar. And if you are not white, you should understand that based on my experiences, you are unlikely to be treated with care or respect here.
I do not recommend this place under any circumstances. GO AT YOUR OWN RISK! Trust it is not worth it.

Duffy’s is an iconic bar with great staff that makes you feel right at home. Food quality is improving and the pool table is always busy.
Fun place, great prices and great mix of people.

This bar used to be fun, but the staff has completely ruined the experience. Aside from Becky (who is genuinely kind), the bartenders are rude and disrespectful, and the owner is no better.
I was made to feel uncomfortable and unsafe, and staff handled the situation aggressively instead of respectfully. There’s no professionalism here — just hostility.
I won’t be returning and don’t recommend this place to anyone. If you go, don’t expect respect.

Bartender is always in a bad mood from what I’ve noticed. You could be the nicest to him and he will still act like you did something wrong with an attitude. Making faces and being passive aggressive all night towards me. It’s sad that he’s the only one that has acted this way towards me, the other bartenders are polite and kind. Never had any issue with them.

The place is surprisingly large once you get inside. There’s a main bar area in addition to a large second bar area with plenty of tables and an outdoor section. There are TVs everywhere with some sort of sports on them. The whole place has this old school nostalgic feel to it. There are pictures on the walls of local sports teams celebrities old street signs, etc. I had the three alarm burger and it was absolutely phenomenal. I love the dirty fries that come with the meal. The bartending staff is very friendly!

I want to be absolutely clear that this behavior is a pattern, not a one-time issue.
On a previous visit, the owner, Erin, repeatedly harassed me and my friends by demanding multiple forms of identification after our IDs had already been checked and approved at the door by the barback. This is standard procedure, and there was no legitimate reason for additional verification.
Despite our names and photos clearly matching our IDs, Erin continued to question us and demand different cards. The interaction was excessive, intimidating, and completely unnecessary. It did not feel like policy enforcement — it felt like targeting.
Two weeks later, I personally witnessed Erin repeat this same behavior toward my friend under nearly identical circumstances. Seeing the exact same treatment happen again confirmed that this is how certain patrons are treated at this bar.
When this pattern of harassment is combined with my most recent experience of being removed with no concern for my safety, it paints a very clear picture: this bar does not treat all customers equally and does not provide a safe or respectful environment.
Based on multiple experiences, I strongly warn others — especially people of color — to approach this place with caution.

I called in for my order 3 cheeseburgers with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and ketchup. When I picked up my order I went home. There was no lettuce, no catchup no tomatoes no onions just a plain burger. I was very disappointed. And the bread was stale The bun was falling apartI should’ve checked it before I left. I assumed I didn’t have to
