Phone Booth

Was forced to tip $5 on a $7 beer… don’t come here

Came here to meet friends - reluctantly, I may add, due to the cold rain. But friends are friends. I was minding my own business, sticking to my own friend group, not bothering or interacting with anyone else. I was not yelling, performing any antics, or doing anything that might otherwise bring unwarranted attention my way. My second beer into the night, the bartender gives me the boot. No explanation other than I am "too animated". I wasn't in and out of the bathroom. I wasn't sniffing around egregiously, sopping up my snot between every word in the conversation. In fact, other than the two beers I had, I was basically sober. I certainly wasn't on any weird sketchy uppers. (Unlike about 60-80% of the people in their bathrooms on any given Saturday evening.) I get it, bartending a bar is a tough job. You make calls, sometimes they are right, and sometimes they are wrong. Well, you made the call. But it was a baseless call, made solely on a hunch. And, again, considering the usual bathroom behavior by your regular clientele, completely and utterly hypocritical. And now you have a nasty one star review that I hope will make people think twice about frequenting this stuck up, low rent dump - lest their night is also randomly ruined by their idiotic (lack of) judgment. And my unyielding, lifelong enmity. Not like you care, but hey - a customer is a customer. And, might I add, one who has hung out at this place for well over a decade now, and remembers when the management didn't care if you smoked indoors. Best bar in the neighborhood!!

I should’ve read the previous reviews more closely. We signed up for the pay per play pool table. Waited for over an hour and a half. When it’s finally our turn, the man who I assume is the owner jumps in to play, claiming that the rule in any bar is that you play the last winner (it’s not? I’ve been to plenty bars where this is not the rule and I paid for the game). Then him and his buddy start listing off rules for why our shots are illegal after the fact. Bouncer then throws in a comment about “this is why you don’t play last minute games”. Come on guys, my friend and I just wanted to play a bit of pool after waiting for forever and buying several drinks. This is not how you keep customers.

Unique vibe and amazing music!

A friend recommended this spot to me and the bar itself itself is super cute. But the angry old lady behind the bar made me never want to come back here.

Cash only and pretty tucked in, but a good pool table and a Great jukebox!

The woman that works Monday nights is a terrible bartender. I asked for a well mezcal shot and she said they didnt hav one. So i then asked for a shot of her cheapest mezcal and i got a loud sigh, a dramatic eye roll and a dirty look as she looked thru a few bottles. If you dont want my money, just say that. I finished my drink as quickly as possible and i left promptly

Just left this bar, my fiancé and I thought it was so cute from the outside since we are visiting from out of town and don’t know the area well. Because we looked online ahead of time we knew it was cash only so we made sure to get some but we have never been to a cash bar before. We were planning on tipping a larger sum at the end of the night, as we were planning on ordering multiple drinks, but we did leave a couple dollar tip for our first drinks when we put the money down, not thinking much of it as we had just gotten there. A couple minutes into our drinks the bartender, a short, older person with tattoos made a comment, loudly, to us about how “bartenders deserve to make a livable wage and that tipping is standard everywhere and that we should expect to experience that everywhere”. Implying that we were terrible people for not tipping (which was not going to be true) We were literally barely even 3 sips into our drinks and we were getting harassed by the staff. To make it better they then chatted with the couple directly next to us about “bad tipping” for the next 5 min. I know that my fiancé and I are young, but I’m sorry that is no reason to be blatantly rude to us as staff. If he said that to get a better tip, it didn’t work and he actually made less money as we left and did not order more drinks or tip more. 100% would not recommend this place to anyone unless you want to get verbally assaulted for being a patron.
