It’s always disappointing when a bar does not offer free water to the DD. They will charge you $2 for water even if you have your own bottle and they will be rude about it.

Looked like a really fun place and club. They dont open until 7pm and didnt serve food so it is not kid friendly. The bar staff were so friendly and helpful. And excellent tap selections.

I used to always enjoy coming to this bar for years. But recently I got assaulted by the acting security guard as he just puts wristbands on guests but that night he decided to assault me after he poured a drink on me. Very unprofessional, the rest of the staff are decent. I hope in the future for the sake of the establishment the guy putting wristbands doesn’t assault trans women and gay men.

Disgusting behavior.

Had an event here and the management was awesome when it came to scheduling and planning. They provided us with the space we needed. Wasn’t particularly busy when we were there but the food we ordered was good and hot when it came out. Definitely good value for the price. There was a little something for everyone at this space and I can see why it would be “hopping” on a weekend. Only bummer was that we couldn’t order pitchers for the group. Highly recommend though.

Bouncers were dicks, wouldn’t even let me in because I was wearing jeans and a T-shirt. If u wanna get in make sure to wear a suit a tie, even though it’s a shitty bar

This is a loud bar after 9pm, it’s downtown so that is expected. They offer a solid selection of music, wider than most of the bars downtown that seem to be locked into single genres.

The giant beer pong is fun. They have house rules posted and everyone has fun. The regulars even jump in and help teach new people how the game works and how the table works when new players want to join in.

They have two pool tables that are well maintained and have several house sticks available or you can bring your own.

They have two traditional beer pong tables set up as well. Just talk to the bar staff and they will hook you up with water and cups if they aren’t already out.

They have a dress code which is enforced. It’s posted at the door and if you respect it, you won’t have a hard time with it.

The bar staff is friendly, helpful, and know what they are doing. They aren’t afraid to let you know when you step out of line, but they are there to make sure everyone has a good time.

The drink specials are great, and watch out when Big Lar gets into the DJ booth, it’s bound to be a party.

The DJ booth keeps the hits coming, and the dancefloor fills up.

I was so skeptical going to this place after reading the reviews. However I literally had a phenomenal time! So did all my friends and family. The food was fantastic and the drinks were made so well. The $2 drinks were honestly terrible (which they have to make money somehow). However the others at full price were great. Thank you to the staff for a wonderful time. I would definitely go again. It’s what YOU make of it.

This establishment would not let us get our girlfriends out of the District after 0130, as they are spending over $200 on drinks, they completely disregarded the one thing we wanted. I would like some clarity on this, just trying to get them home safely. I do not plan to spend any more money here.
