The western aesthetic is charming and quaint so I can imagine a lot of good times had there. Docked one star for a particular flag that was super prominently displayed in the front lobby that wasn't the most welcoming for some of the patrons. Things like that should be put away when things like weddings are happening in my opinion.

This year we got the usual great lineup but instead of the DIY style show in a parking lot, Professor Vic moved it to the Cathedral. Located right off Garey, The Cathedral is tough to miss. There's plenty of street parking on Center St and there's also a small parking lot across the street. This used to be a YMCA but it looks like an old church with dark wood flooring, high ceilings and stained glass windows. A very cool venue. How did it sound? Loud. Extremely loud. They also had a huge video board which gave each band a little extra hot sauce. There were a couple of bars in the back and you could also order food. It's air conditioned in there but between the heat (100+ outside at the time) and the amount of bodies inside, it was at least bearable. Mosh for Youth was great as always and while I loved the DIY ethos in the past this felt like a leap forward. The sound, look and venue made this feel big time. I hope future MFY shows take place here...until they maybe outgrow this place too, which would mean more scholarships for the kids. Highly recommended!

By far one of the best and most comfortable places to be. Among all the other bars in Apple Valley, these owners know how to run a business. The ones whom find things unfair are the ones who have a guilty mind set. I have been going here for over 7 years and have had met so many wonderful people. I could not ask for a better place to call home away from home. Prices are wonderful, they always have great bands and the bartenders are by far the best and most respectful to there customers as well as classy. I Love Joy's Spirit, always up beat and wonderful to her customers. I do have to say that I also Loved Daryn, I sure miss her smiley face and sweet personality. I recommend Frogee's 100% read more

I have been a Frogee's customer for years. It is one of the last standing bars that supports the local music scene. Their prices are very reasonable. The place is always clean (clean bathrooms especially) and the bartenders are always very friendly. They also have karaoke twice a week. Honestly, I can say Frogee's is a real friendly place, I would not mind going there as a woman, just by myself. The owners are doing their best to keep the environment safe and enjoyable for their customers. They have been running this place for over a decade now.

Tracey or Lacey whatever that girls name is, I have been in there 3 times thinking maybe I was wrong but I will not go in on an off night EVER AGAIN! She only caters to her friends and from what I see she does not even charge them a lot of the time. She has a huge attitude problem!!!!!! This place is going to go down the drain and fast if they don't nip this in the bud! As long as I have known Joy I am shocked she till works there. Worst bartender ever and my friends and I will stick to out nights with Joy and Day time Tiffany. They get 5 stars, This new girl gets No stars read more

First, I must say I Love this Bar! So many great people and such loving personalities. However, after last night I will not be back on a Sunday, Monday or what ever days this new girl is working. The new girl hired is not what Frogies is about. Frogies is about honesty,compassion, fun and she does not have it. Beware, she will over charge you on your card and pocket the tips. She is all about Hustling. I hope she gets caught before she turns every one away from one of the best bars in town. 4 Stars for the original Frogies crew! read more

They also have great food and drink specials and are always mixing it up to keep things fun. It is a home away from home and highly recommend it to anyone! read more

Yea, it was cozy in a sense but also wicked small (with a mirror that created the illusion of space).

The bartender, Amanda, seemed pretty busy taking care of the regulars, which is fair. The TouchTunes jukebox was on, and I went ahead and paid a little extra to jump the line. What happened next was a fascinating display of customer loyalty. The regulars, with a little encouragement from Amanda, started skipping the songs I'd just paid for. It's a bold move, really. I get that the "asshole button" exists for a reason, but it's not usually the bartender's job to press it for sport. Honestly, I don't expect much from a dive bar. But I did expect the simple courtesy of having my music play after I paid for it. It's a small detail, sure, but it's a bit rude to not give your customers a fair shake, no matter who they are. I've always liked this bar, but this time was a bit different. They certainly know how to make new customers feel right at home.

You can squeeze lemon or lime in the cocktail or add hot sauce. Three fresh oysters were included. I love those but they could have been colder. Served with a beautifully ripe avocado on top and professionally cut cucumber, onion and cilantro, Yum!! The shrimp were good size and good texture (not mushy). My friend ordered cheese enchiladas. She orders them without sauce but the cook did a great job preparing them and she said they were perfect. The enchiladas came with beans and rice and we ordered salads that were extra. It was all tasty with fresh lettuce and good salad dressing (we had italian and ranch). Service was so so. We were there midday and it seems many restaurants are this way at this time of day. Not sure if it's because they send servers home and there are not as many to wait on customers or they have side duties that take them away from serving, but it's typical and frustrating. I will say the first bus boy was not good seemed very unhappy and never smiled but then a second bus boy showed up and he was smiling, helpful, friendly and saved the day!!
