Title: Strong Pour, Stronger Spirit…read more The Running Iron pours more than just great drinks...it pours atmosphere. From the moment we stepped in, we felt the spirit of the place: real, rugged, and full of warmth. The staff was quick, the energy upbeat but never overwhelming. It's a place where locals mingle and newcomers are welcomed without question. There is something honest about this spot, like it knows who it is, and lets you be who you are. Just what we needed after Karaoke Night.

On 6/21/26.. 3 of us entered @ 4:00PM to celebrate Father's Day & my Birthday with a few drinks &…read morepool games. The female bartender had a full bar of clients. As we entered she loudly said to the bar customers..."FUCKING GOD...." I told her "thats rude!" She didn't hesitate or apologize, but defended her unprofessional comments by saying, she was a "CHRISTIAN" & it was "just a figure of speech!" I disagreed. She said I could... "stay or leave?" I said there's only one choice then. The 3 of us walked out never to return to that atmosphere again. She then wished us a very happy day. Another condescending comment! Disrespectful foul language should never be used in a public business especially by the professional communicating with the public.

3 strikes, I'm out. I wasn't expecting much based on my previous 2 dining experiences in Mariposa,…read morebut it was less than that. Asked the bartender if he could make a Michelada he said yes, he makes his own Bloody Mary mix, I said yes, must be a terrible Bloody Mary the drink was awful. Fish and chips could not be less flavorful if they tried, if white was a flavor this would be it. Hubs liked his tri tip sandwich but I couldn't get over the bitter green bell pepper. Went in expecting vibes and decent pub food. Bartender had a problem remembering things a sit was before 5pm.

Down a few steps and into it you go. Definitely a saloon. If that's your vibe, you will have a great time. But for me I was not a fan of the crowd. Hillbilly type. First Cousins married to one another maybe? We don't get any food.

Knocked off one star due to drinks. I'm not in my 20's where I can welcome any drink to get drunk…read more My pallet is a bit more refined (lol not really), but I can appreciate this bar. The bartender was nice and attentive, the people sitting at the bar were welcoming. You never know what you're going to face especially nowadays but I didn't sense danger at all here. It's a cute bar with a sense of camaraderie. I'll definitely be back to chill and I'll ask for the types of beer they have next time.

5 stars for Jackie & Michelle. This bar is a staple "dive bar" in Modesto. And I say that with all…read moredue respect as it's cool to be a dive bar:) located in Mchenry Village... it offers pool tables, a dart board, dice and a modern jukebox! I can not believe I've never had a PBR until coming here. It's my new favorite water beer. The coldest tall can w/chilled glass for only $3. Or, if you prefer, get it on tap. it's perfect for a hot day or if you want to hang out for a while & talk with the regulars. Or, have a mini Portuguese beer ice cold w/pull off top for $2.75!! cocktails you say? Yep.. just the way you order them. Also, they do have a few IPA's. I haven't tried the Chinese food next door, but it looks good. If you're hungry you can bring it in. go support this local bar and say hi to the girls working:)

You can tell the bartenders take pride in their craft, and even though the place was packed, they were pumping out drinks fast without sacrificing quality. The vibe is what sealed it for me. The DJ was spinning all the Millennial throwbacks, and the whole crowd was into it. It felt like the perfect mix of fun, stylish, and a little nostalgic all at once! 1000% loved everything about this place, from the drinks to the energy,and I'm already planning my next night out here, I'll try to save you a seat!!

There was a couple small setting areas in bar and consequently it was VERY busy. With that in mind, I think the bar staff was doing its best having to serve the party going on and also everyone at the bar. While it was a long wait, the drinks were well made and they have a variety of options. The vibe was really enjoyable and is definitely one of the good bars in Modesto which definitely needs more. Wish this place the best and hope we see more like it!
