What a great little neighborhood brewery! From the outside, this would pass as a dive bar but…read moreactually offers so much more! The inside is cozy with a large bar and tables to sit at. They have board games, darts, touchtunes, and more for entertainment. They had 9 of their own beers in tap as well as some guest beers. They also house fuse malort with flavors (11 to try)! My two friends got a beer and I got a whiskey/ginger ale. Pricing was very fair and pours were a good size. Both of my friends enjoyed their beers and I thoroughly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. Check out Lunar Brewing when in the area!

That's a good thing, but it can also become overwhelming when you're trying to decide on what to drink. I don't think I've ever eaten here, so I think they more or less offer bar snacks. I've never had bad service here. Although you may have to order your drinks at the bar if you're sitting at one of the tables. The times that I actually sat at the bar, the service was obviously better. The servers know their beer menu and can hold a good conversation if it's not too busy. It's a great place to stop in and enjoy a pint with friends and play a few rounds of darts.

There's fun things including a pool table. Even with the name of it we still think it's a pretty cool bar. It's one of the few not fancy looking places in this part of the city. There's a few parts of it with their own atmosphere and gatherings. Basically it has a couple entrances. One is where they have the pool table. It's about $5 to get a basic cocktail. We got something with whiskey. Main bar area is in the middle. The other entrance goes to another seating area full of tables. Here is where to go if not sitting at the bar. They sometimes have events such as live music. Good bar that's better than many think it would be. It's located on Highland at Grove. They're open late including both weekdays and weekends.

Finally a friend of mine yesterday asked if I wanted to check it out. I actually told her I would rather go there than the other place a couple of businesses down because it seemed cool. However, I walked in and it looked old and out dated. There's tvs on the wall and a pool table so they got that going for them but everything else looks like it hasn't changed since the 80s (which can be cool sometimes if they do it right). But I should have known this was off from that because I asked for a Pabst blue ribbon and they apparently didn't have any. So I was offered a Busch or miller lite. Second red flag. Finally I got to talking to people and enjoying myself but my friend had walked off to do her own thing. So I didn't even know where she was. I was alone playing pool with a new buddy I had met earlier that evening lol. After we finished playing the game I have three staff members walk up to me and ask if I was with the person (who was now outside on her own) and they told me that they saw her drinking her own liquor. Now I don't know if that's totally true because I hadn't been around her at all but they were making it sound as if they were trying to kick me out because of this... I had nothing to do with it!!! However I respectfully said that we would leave the establishment and we did. I have my own opinions about this area but it doesn't help when you have rude businesses and their employees setting up shop here and harassing their customers. I don't plan on coming back here again... I do want to sum this up though so you know why I don't like this place: 1) didn't have the drinks I like 2) seemed old and out dated. 3)unfriendly staff That's all.

We were in town recently and decided to check out R Place after it changed ownership (formerly…read moreChances R). Upon arrival, we were greeted by a security guard at the door--no issues there. A woman seated near the entrance informed us there was a $10 cover charge for males. My friend and I paid, while our wives were allowed in for free. Not even ten feet inside, the same security guard stopped us and said the cover was actually $20 per person. I pushed back on this, and he ultimately let it go. Once inside, we realized we were the only customers in the entire bar. The music was extremely loud--so loud that we couldn't hear each other speak--but we ordered drinks anyway. My wife later approached the security guard to ask about the inconsistent cover charge, given that the bar was completely empty. When my friend's wife went over to join her, another security guard intervened and told them they needed to relax and that they were not allowed to touch each other, even though they were simply holding hands. After witnessing this interaction, we stood up and approached the security guards to understand what the issue was. Unfortunately, the response we received was rude and disrespectful, especially toward paying customers. To avoid further confrontation, we chose to leave. Based on this experience, we will not be returning to R Place.

If you're looking for a chill "hole in the wall" to go for drinks after work, this is the place to go. You don't have to deal with the creepy drunk people, the A-holes like you see at the clubs in the city, or the crazy sports fans. Busy for them is like 20-30 people. Some people here think the husband is cranky. But I'll tell you from personal experience with him, he is a man who values respect. If you're respectful of him, he'll be a great person to chat with. If you're not, don't expect him to kiss your a**. Every time I go in, I can expect to have a random 2 hour conversation with him; it's awesome! The wife is super nice, though I've only met her once. When I'm looking for a quiet place to relax with a few friends after a long day at work, this is the place I go. The prices are reasonable. They don't serve food (other than popcorn). They have a digital jukebox on the wall, and a row of several digital slot machines and three TVs that are all tuned to the same channel. You can request they change the channel but it changes it for all the TVs. This place is not everyone's cup o Java but if you like chill bars, and locally owned businesses, try it out! I absolutely recommend this place!
