The space is pretty small with few tables, but they do have an outdoor patio as well. The drink menu has been different every time I've been in and their drinks are thoughtful, complex, and taste great! Their drinks are around $15 each and the bartenders are friendly. There is usually easy parking on the street and there are a lot of food options nearby. I love this bar and will continue coming back again and again.

A friend was playing a show at the Tip Top recently and it had been years since I'd been there. The…read morebar is cozy and people were very friendly. We paid $15 per person for the band, cash only (they do have an ATM on site). They have live music most weekends, and you can reserve tickets online ahead of time. We got a booth for our group of four and it had an okay view of the stage - there are a couple of pillars that obscure the view but the music sounded great. I was worried it might be way too loud in the small bar, but it seemed fine. Bring earplugs if you need them! I think they sell them at the bar too. We got some food to split - the fried green beans and the grilled cheese sandwich. This food is simple but tasty, and goes great with a cold beer. I especially liked the crispy fried green beans with jalapeno ranch! Tip Top definitely gives the vibe of a Nashville honky tonk, and I had a great time.

I went on a Thursday night desperate to find a place to dance at on a random weekday. They…read moreadvertised that Thursday's are their college night. I'm not sure if they meant early 00s like 2000-2010 college era but it was FANTASTIC. I grew up on that early 2000s hip hop and r&B so that was nostalgic. The crowd is exactly within that age group. It was a fantastic fun night. Drinks weren't high end and amazing but for $11 they'll taste like you'd expect. I'd recommend going with a group of friends and staying accountable for one another. The cover is $5 with college ID or $10 if you're an adult not in college. I'll be back to dance here.

This places drugs people and allows others to get drugged and turns a blind eye. The bartenders and security are all doing lines and shooting up before, during and after their shifts. Get better staff and maybe protect your paying customers from being drugged.

Stumbled upon this little speakeasy inside of a pizza place downtown. We almost walked past it but…read moresomeone directed us towards it. When you step inside it's dark, quaint and has a sexy vibe to it. Very limited seating with a small bar and back room that's beautifully decorated. We both got "my girl" and that drink was delightful and refreshing. Noise level was moderate but we could still talk. Had a nice time with my bff but I could see it being a great first date spot!

It was a Saturday around 9p and we got the last table. **Reservations are recommended** the space is very small and intimate with only 4 tables. We met the bartender who curated the menu. Each cocktail was designed with intention and he took a lot of pride in them. Would definitely go back! Granda sue was our fav!

Putt Putt's is a west side staple dive bar. I noticed their outdoor patio when driving by one day,…read moreso Nate and I stopped by for a bite to eat and a drink recently after visiting the zoo which is down the street. He used to live in this neighborhood so he was familiar with the menu and mentioned the inside has changed quite a bit since he frequented this spot. We ordered a burger on sourdough with tots and the BBQ chicken flatbread. This was great bar food! I loved the burger - it was juicy and the tots were fried and seasoned to perfection. It was a great portion too, so we were able to share (makes me think of Napoleon Dynamite - no stealing tots necessary). I love that you can order your burger on sourdough instead of a bun - it was perfectly toasted. It did get a bit messy and fell apart a little towards the end, but we had plenty of napkins. The flatbread was super tasty. I don't usually go for a BBQ chicken pizza but I saw someone else ordered it and it looked delicious. I'm so glad I copied them, because it was sweet, savory, and covered in chicken and cheese. The included side of ranch just rounded it out. Yum! Our server was quick with refills and around for us to order more drinks when needed. The outdoor space is pretty spacious and covered. Definitely will stop by again soon!

A server never came to our table, never brought us a menu (we had to look it up on our phones). Finally go up to the bar and ask for a server (after multiple attempts and having to order drinks from the bar) and she comes over and tells us they only have fried food. We buy some shots and beers (server asks for our card and we pay for them up front) and they never brought them (we had to remind the server we ordered drinks and shots). Overall it was a clusterf*** and we will never be back.

The fact I could get a marg for $10 that was decent? Sign me up! You have to order everything at the bar, and you can also reserve spots, but we didn't have any issues and everyone was super friendly! I love that they turned this space into something that I feel like I'll frequent more often as I absolutely love the area. I think they even allow you to bring in some local food from next door, which is even better. There's a huge space in back that has a pool table and other fun games, and it shares a patio with Buffalo Traders next door. Such a gem that this area really needed!

It is a very well kept and clean older bar. Full bar & kitchen (although I've never been here earlier enough to have the kitchen open lol) but fair warning they are a cash ONLY establishment and do not do tabs. They do have an atm for this reason, too. Juke box, pool tables, darts, shuffle board, and a ton of other games. Lots of seating! Clean bathrooms, too. All in all a great local dive bar with friendly service!
