But I guess that's okay because they didn't have a specific team on them? Mike you the whole theme of this place is games but if you have a sports game that's a problem. Lame. Last time I was here the bartender was pouting the whole time. I guess they are just setting a miserable vibe now. No wonder attendance here has fallen way off.

Though it's labeled as an LGBTQ+ bar the cool thing is that it's just a great bar, with or without the label. Walk in and and hang out for a few and you'll see what I mean.

Came here for an event my friends were hosting, and overall I had a great time! But I've got two…read moremajor complaints I've gotta get off my chest. First, let's start with the good stuff. The bar itself is super nice! We missed the drag show (bummer), but everyone who caught it said it was a blast. There were TVs playing games, plenty of seating, and a big open dance floor which definitely added to the fun vibe. Drinks were delicious and the bartenders were friendly. one of them even doubled as the MC and was hilarious. One thing I really appreciated was the self-serve water station. I drink a ton of water, and it's such a hassle trying to get the bartender's attention just for that, so this was a win for both guests and staff. Now... here are my two gripes: A bar that size with only one toilet in the women's restroom? Rough. The line got ridiculous. The music volume was insanely loud. I get it, it's a bar, loud music is expected. But this was next level. You couldn't even have a conversation without yelling, and several people in our group mentioned it, so I know it wasn't just me. Since this place isnt really close to home, I probably wont be back. But if your in the area and want some good drinks, check it out!

I went to the Bayview Eagles performance space, adjacent to the bar for a fabulous Cajun/Zydeco…read moreperformance by a new friend of mine, Andrew Carriere and his group of extremely talented musicians. He comes from a storied Louisiana family of Cajun and Zydeco musicians. He is versatile, sings, plays the triangle, the harmonica and the washboard. and in my little experience of watching him play with various groups, he lets everyone shine. His band's music was made for dancing and I have two left or right feet. The regular fans know what they are coming for - to dance. One of these days I'll earn without upsetting a partner. But then someone has to pay the price for teaching a newbie. A great place to visit for affordable beer and some wine. If Andre performs there, I'll be prepped to dance :)

Spoontonic is such a hidden gem! I moved to Walnut Creek a couple years ago and a neighbor said…read morethere was a bar I could walk to in 5 minutes so of course I was gonna check it out. I'm glad I did! I forget the bartenders name but she's great! Very attentive even in a full bar, very few times has she ever not really paid attention to us. Better than other bars on the same street *cough*.. Pros: Quick cheap drinks, cool dark comfy underground vibe, pretty good amount of seating, easy parking/Uber pickup and drop off. Cons: Small venue so it has the potential to be crammed Friday/Saturday nights. No drinks outside. Only activity is darts. I noticed the type of crowd is all over the place. Sometimes it's an older crowd and other times its a younger crowd. Sometimes it's mixed.

She seemed drunk/tipsy. I am Central American and Portuguese. She was beyond insulting I can see why this place has only 10 people in it on a Friday night. She scares women away by being nasty and rude , and she's not hot enough to keep a male crowd. Music was decent, ambiance was fitting.

Disclaimer: I was already slightly acquainted with Nathan through the very large swing dance…read morecommunity (of which I was a part for many many years) before we took him on for private swing dance/ lindy lessons. We had taken a couple of his group classes before at the Savannah Jazz Club, where my friend, Catrine Ljunggren, runs a regular Wednesday night dance event. Nathan is awesome. He's a great dancer and teacher, and was very patient with us as we went through our sessions prior to the wedding. He has a great eye for examining movement and demonstrating what could be done better or differently; and even drew up lists of moves for us to aid our rather shaky memories.... I highly recommend taking his group classes, or hiring him for private lessons if you wish to swing dance at your wedding. His rates are very reasonable, and he has ample room in his home for a couple so you don't have to pay for additional studio space.
