    Puke on the toilet and handle and floor and sink.. which smelled and was everywhere which was being ignored on purpose.
    Jeff B.

    Tell me why I tell the Hispanic security guard about throw up in the bathroom and he says "it's there for the night because it's not my job Its a busy night." and I asked if he's serious and he said he can give ME a towel to clean it but that's the most he can do.. and also tell 20 minutes later my brother in-law and I walk out to the car to get the ladies coats and I thought someone was peeing by the dumpster being drunk.. and and tell me WHY its that same long haired security guard with some other guy with Their faces in.. I'll just say what looked to be a lightish substance.. I mean to each his own... But at work.. on a busy night.. it's dangerous.. NO SHAME! On the way back from the car jackets in tow we walk past the security guard the other guy was gone now but the guard stood VERY alert like he could see EVEERYTHING haha my brother in-law even said "pretty busy huh?" And the guy just staired at us breathing heavily and didnt say a WORD! I want to say I've been here maybe 50 times in my life and the place is usually a fun time it has gotten a little wild lately.. I'll probably review it again next time because I don't mean to hurt the business but I'm not sure how else to let the local owners what is going on if they are unaware.. if they are well.. then pour houses days are numbered.. like what if a big fight happened and someone got injurded or the security guy in His state used the big knife he has on his hip! pour house being shut down would be a damn shame.. I don't want another firewater type incident.. On a side note my wife ate here last week on the patio and she says the food menu is very good the the waitress who is always there was all smiles..

    It's a dive bar. Not a bad thing but this house is a bit poor. Tables are dirty, drinks are sloppy and the bartenders favor the regulars. I've been here many times and there always seems to be a funky smell in the air. Most recently, I stood at the bar, waiting for acknowledgement, while the bartender was leaning on the bar and chatting with a customer. The eye contact said that they would get to me when they were good and ready. There were three of us and we all got tired of waiting, so we left. On the plus side, the are open late, and they do have live music several nights a week. I like that, I just wish it wasn't so hard to order a drink (and maybe they could tidy up once in a while).

    Great place for Drinks a Music was there a few weeks before this visit to see the Plug Uglies it was soo much fun I figured I'd Ck it again

    Fun spot. They always have had live music when we visit. Food is pretty good as well. And the bartender double checks on you when you drink is going low. Great environment.

    Fish tacos, surprisingly good.

    My favorite dive bar. I've been here at various times of the day (still need to check out the weekend brunch menu soon!) and night, and have enjoyed everything from bringing Cali to eat on the patio to listening to live music in crowds. The food is really good and reasonably priced. They've gradually whittled down the options, and now have a simple menu that features Taco Tuesday and Wing Wednesday. There's even a kid menu here! I've had truffle fries, the fish tacos, and the giant pretzel with the beer cheese. I look forward to working my way down the menu. Hilariously, I always over-dress and look way out of place when I come here. No matter the time of day, a lot of hipster and rough-looking people hang out... Anyway, this is a usual spot for my friends and coworkers, so I'll be back! Pros: - dog-friendly during the daytime - decent menu - live music at night - open late (like 2 am) - outdoor area is nice Cons: - parking in the area sucks

    Ate here for lunch today with the wife. We ordered the Fish & Chips and Bacon Blue Burger and a couple of beers. The bar was full of people around 2:30pm but emptied out before we could finish our meals. The place feels like a hole-in-the-wall bar but the food seems to be on the higher-end. My burger was $16 and was excellent. Very tasty. The fries were seasoned almost too well (a bit salty) but the flavor was good. The burger was a tiny bit on the small size compared to other burgers around town. My wife's fish & chips had the same fries, but the fish portions were the smallest I have ever seen at any restaurant in my life. The fish was good, but these seriously were nugget-sized, and for $15 I think this is way overpriced. The staff was very friendly. This is definitely a smoker's bar and there is lots of seating outside on two separate patio areas which is great (I smoke occasionally). Beers were cold and tasty. They had a good assortment of beers on tap too. Our biggest issue, if any, was the timing. We ordered and waited forever to get our food. I had finished my whole pint and ordered another before our food came. No one else was eating in the bar, so although things were tasty it's hard to want to come back for food. Otherwise, if you're looking for cold drinks and an easy place to smoke, this is the one.

The happy hour was house cocktails only, but they do them really well. Their original cocktails are fun, delicious, and one of a kind. I tried a few and you can't go wrong. Lastly, the bartenders and servers are exceptional. They are kind and fun and definitely help to make the experience and environment a lot more enjoyable. I really enjoy this place and look forward to coming many more times and bringing more friends and family in to enjoy as well!

My husband and I stopped in to Frankie's on a recent Saturday at 5pm. Our kiddo had a performance down the street at 6pm so we had a little time to kill beforehand. The neighboring spots looked busy so we decided to go with Frankie's, seeing as they were less inundated at the time and we had a time constraint. Another allure was the sandwich board at the front door advertising discounted cocktails - sold!! Inside there were a handful of patrons at the bar, another table with two additional patrons and maybe a couple on the patio so it was fairly quiet and slow, so it looked promising. We headed up to the bar and hung out behind two empty barstools, the single female bartender greeted us and said she'd be right with us, but then continued chatting up the seated patrons, serving them and their friends that had just joined (AFTER we'd arrived). We moved a little further down to the handoff area where she was making drinks to save her having to come back to us again, and stood there for probably 10 minutes while she took orders and made all the drinks. We commented that she looked like she could definitely use a hand, and she said they were still adjusting into summer hours and determining whether more coverage was needed at this time - I figured 5pm on a Saturday should be primetime, so I'm not sure in what universe having a single bartender makes any sense. Finally we placed our cocktail orders, waited while they were made, and then put our card down for the tab. After we'd paid, I noticed the cocktails were more expensive than advertised on the sandwich board out front - I couldn't find a disclaimer anywhere that said only certain cocktails were included, so while it was a bummer I wasn't about to wait another 10-15 minutes to catch her attention and ask for clarification. Just a heads up to beware of whatever is advertised that might summon you in from the sidewalk, and make sure you ask before you make your selection. Drinks were very subpar, nothing special to write home about. While I can appreciate the Gatsby-esque vibe they're trying to uphold at Frankie's, they really should increase their staffing especially during prime weekend and evening hours, and be more transparent about their specials and what's included and what's not. Hindsight is 20/20, and the low volume of patrons when everything else around it was going off was probably a sign, so we'll skip Frankie's our next go around.

It's far too small to dance unless you're slow or maybe 2 stepping in the corner. The ambiance is dim, relaxed, fun.
