This is a review based on my experience over a 6 month time span so that I'd not judge unfairly on just 1 visit. Please note that the owner/management is the same as Whiskey River in Statke FL, & this review applies for both establishments since they use the same "bartenders" (unprofessional, unskilled, poorly dressed, uncouth behavior, except for 1- Allana; women only, never a man) who are interchanged between each bar, & serve the same products. The "bartenders" show no professional and/or self-respect (except Allana) in speech, behavior or dress; as I had to listen to talk of vaginal labial protrusion (aka "cameltoe") & attempts to physically display the same in a stripper/prostitute like manner in front of lecherous men, & have same "bartender" openly admitting that they are (illegally!) vaping cannibis while working (no wonder that they cannot remember prices! See below). Staff dress is often strip joint level, but I have seen enough breasts in my time that when going out I need not see more; especially when they are not as attractive as their owner might think. The patronage etiquette is no better, as in 1 visit a man shouts past many other patrons (myself stuck between) to a woman (a barfly) about penis size, vaginal ejaculation, et al. instead of going over to talk to her; & I've had my drink pushed aside many times while another takes my seat (you cannot even use the restroom w/o that happening). During one visit there was a large group there with a reserved table, but that did not stop them from taking over an entire end of the bar (5-6 seats) and pushing me aside so as to place stacks of pizza boxes directly on the bar; and later for my drink again to be pushed aside after moving as far away as possible when that same party that decided to do whatever they wanted with disregard to others enjoyment. They don't have any draft beer, nor food items of any sort (not even a bag of chips!). There is apparently no set price for their items, as I ordered the same thing & would often be charged a different price from day to day for the same item to the degree that at 1 point when I asked what a price was I received 3 different #s on the same visit from 2 "bartenders" as they guessed at what they thought the price was (prices also vary between the 2 bars for the same product!). Pricing for some items is 33%-45% higher than it is at other places (e.g. beer priced $8 a bottle, compared to others charging $5.5-$6 for the same beer!). The bar did not even have some basic inexpensive equipment (e.g. blender) to properly make drinks at the time. On multiple visits I had a drink (full beers), as well as my own food removed by staff while I was still there only a mere 20 ft away when conversing with another patron. At one time some drunken disrespectful patron squirted (perhaps a vaginal discharge!?) at Allana whose back was turned; I left immediately so as not to tear that woman off her stool by the hair and drag her outside.
There are no hours posted so you have no idea what days or hours they are open & they close for private parties or other reasons without notification so even if you go there during "operating hours" you may be out of luck (for me it's a 12 mile trip 1 way) so be prepared to waste your time & $ if you assume they are open (call first!!). The majority daily patronage are local "barflies" so do not expect much if you are trying to meet new people. I also witnessed "pivileged treatment" to a guest who brought in their dog. I was told that it was not allowed, but he was "important" and apparently did not need to be concerned with others dislike, fear of, and/or allergic issues regarding his pet!
It would seem, given the name and interior decor that there might be some deference given to military active duty/veterans via a minor cost reduction; but no. If you want that then you merely need travel 1.5 miles to where those serving or who have served their country can receive a free draft beer (Downtown Grill; which has decent food and none of the aforementioned issues of this bar).
My last visit (and I feel sorry for Allana since she was tending) ended up with me not getting anything since the beer they had in stock was on the floor and not in the cooler due to the previous night's "bartender" having not put any in the cooler (did I mention unprofessional?); a task taking less than 5 minutes.
In summary, it is an amateur and unprofessional dive bar that is suitable for those who do not care about quality of service, consistent pricing, warm beer, stoned staff, or common respect. read more
