This review is gonna be really long, so the short version is this: There's rad music, groovy games, a kitchen, and a baller cocktail menu. If you're browsing the mobile app and you're nearby, you need to drop in. Like, now. Still with me? OK, here are the details... There is no place in Phoenix I will defend as much as Valley Bar. Seriously, it's my litmus test for whether or not I'm going to like your reviews--give this gem less than five stars, and I'll take everything you write with a grain of salt. It's just that good. It's an eclectic establishment with the quintessential Phoenix vibe--artsy and unassuming, attracting clientele from gruff hipsters looking for indie shows, to the all dolled-up in five inch heels treating this like a club, to businessmen and politicians coming in wearing full suits. I met Congressman Ruben Gallego while drinking a Kate + Ruben. He didn't seem amused when I said "Hey there's a drink named after you amirite?" On another evening, I shook hands with mayor Greg Stanton while drinking a Stanton. Groovy, right? I keep ordering my favorite cocktail--The McCain--but the old 'Maverick' is yet to show up! Bummer, but at least I can revel in the sweet, smoky, spicy goodness of mezcal, citrus, and a mouthwatering bite from an ancho chili liquor. At $8 a pop, these craft cocktails really are a steal, and the Rose Room, the lounge they're served in, is so comfortable and dimly lit you'll feel you've stumbled into a much more expensive environment. If you're hungry, take advantage of the kitchen run by Short Leash hot dogs, and have a seat in one of the booths. Like every other table here, it's illuminated by real candles, lending an intimate feel. We haven't invented a love potion quite yet, but let me tell you right now that having a chat and playing one of their many board games over a glass of wine will certainly suffice. Just down the hall will be a cool game room with pool tables, ski-ball, and a couple of awesome arcade games. It's important to remember that above all, this is a music venue! Emphasis on medium-sized indie shows, but they have stellar DJ sets. My favorite is Blunt Club, the hip hop night that brings the best Thursday night fun I've had in the valley. Some of the local bands are especially great, and tons of fun. This is up there with my favorite spots in Phoenix, but of course there will be some growing pains. This place is just so gosh darn popular, it's near impossible to get in during prime time. I have waited 20 minutes for this, something I won't do for any other establishment. It can get terribly busy on Saturday--I've heard of hour-long lines close to midnight! Be prepared for standing room only! Also, keep in mind some shows/sets that used to be free now carry a charge, and this will be the rare time I hope entry gets more expensive so as to thin down the line a bit. I can easily spend several hours here without getting bored. It's fun, affordable, hip...I just do not have enough good words. GET IN read more

This place reminds me of some of the dives/hangouts/pubs I used to frequent in my formative adult years. The waiters are cool and friendly, which makes a huge difference especially when the bar is new and unusual and has a story to tell. Angel, our waiter, was really helpful and attentive. There are about four distinct areas in this establishment and each one exudes a different vibe. The bar: pretty standard but many tables and booths for getting friendly with your latest amour. The game room: cool games and fun space. The reading room: interesting space. Lots of opportunity for a variety of activities behind closed doors. Whips and chains? Check the schedule on the clipboard for a list of events. The live music bar: you pay a cover charge for some awesome music. Every time you come here expect a different experience. read more

Valley Bar - Where is this place? - Music Venues Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Guys with man buns sporting beards, the ladies wearing plaids and overalls. The DJ is playing mashup genre from the 40's, 50's, 60's coexist with current top 40 music. And wait there's more, a music room for bands to play indie reggae with electronic beat. Where am I? This is not a bar in Scottsdale. It's located in downtown Phoenix. X marks the spot. Curiosity sparked my interest to find this place. Follow the crowd of people going into a alley. It's scary at first but the part of the unknown and yet to come. It's a good indicator you are close to the bar. The bar/lounge have the ambience of combination of artsy, hipster and indie crowd. No fancy decorations but fun old school games. I like the most about this bar is the music venue and anvangarde of authenticity. read more

Literally an amazing experience. I have scissors so standing for a concert was going to be a difficult tasks but all the way from the bouncer to bar staff everyone was so nice and accommodating. They sat me right next to the stage so o could see the concert then a young man had me take an elevator that opened up to the opposite side of the venue making it easy to catch a ride home. Truly am amazing bar and venue 10/10 read more

Another placeholder so my pictures link. I'll update with details later, but the 5 star rating holds true. read more

Pretty cool vibe with a very interesting bar decor. Love the board games, live event/music, pool and other table games. Staff was nice and the prices were good. Over all a cool vibe. Kinda hard to find the entrance so make sure to go thru the alley to find this in the back. read more

I came to Valley Bar for the first time on a first date with someone, and I'm not gonna lie... for a brief moment, I wondered if he was taking me down a dark alley to off me. I have never been so glad to see a bouncer in my life. LOL From what I hear, the fact that it's "hidden" is part of the allure, but... yeah... no... not for me. Anyway, I'm including an image of the area from Google Maps to help guide others in. Even after going there a couple times, I still get turned around and it breaks my brain. My main tips are: 1) Know where the heck you're going and know where the heck you're going to park in advance. 2) Bring your ID. They card. Every. Single. Time. Even if you're 50. You won't get in without ID. 3) Don't arrive drunk or bring contraband. I came after dinner once and had leftovers in my purse. It was a no-go. I threw them out and was let in. No big deal. I've seen lots of people denied entry and have heard stories about friends who have not been let in because they'd already been drinking. This is a really cool bar overall. It's one I would want to bring my out-of-state/ out-of-town friends to for the pure novelty of it. I love the décor and the themed drinks. It is pretty cool that it's underground, and, yeah... now that I'm "in the know," and did not die on my first visit there, I do kind of like that it's hidden. I've gone a few times just for the bar. Their cocktails are pretty awesome. I'm not personally a fan of their food. I ordered garlic fries on my last visit and they were ice cold when I got them, but you don't go to this kind of place for the food anyway. I haven't attended a game night or trivia night, but I want to. I prefer weeknights because it's not so crowded and you can get a seat. Don't count on sitting on the weekend. I've also attended a few concerts here. The music areas are very tiny and you get to be close to the performers. After my most recent one, we went to Cornish Pasty after and had a bite to eat... the band actually came in to eat as well. We let them be, but I still got a little star struck. I would also like to give a word of caution to women traveling alone. I met up with a friend for a concert here and we travelled separately. I parked in one of the nearby garages and then walked to Valley Bar. However, right after I left, I was approached by a man who then attempted to follow me to my car. It was one of the most frightening events of my life- I could not shake him and he wouldn't go away. I ended up sitting with a lot attendant at a different garage until the guy left. From now on, I'll probably take a Lyft to my car or won't walk alone, even if it's just a block or two. This is not a safe area to be in alone at night. That's not Valley Bar's fault by any means, but I'm spreading the word so you other ladies out there stay safe! This isn't a place I work into my normal routine, but it's nice when a good band is playing or I need a little novelty. I'm not sure why others have had issues with "age discrimination" and such. I've met up with people in their 40s and 50s there and they had no issue getting in. I'm also in my 30s and would describe myself as a BBW. They've never once made any kind of remark about my age, appearance, or weight. I've had to spend five minutes digging for my ID and been flustered at the door because I forgot to have it ready. I've never had an issue getting in and never had an issue with the staff. It certainly has a hipster vibe and attracts a younger crowd. I tend to be more drawn to the artsy dives versus this, but it's a good place from my personal experiences- you just have to know what you're getting into first. read more

Valley Bar - Here's how to get into Valley Bar. #Map #Directions - Music Venues Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This was a fun spot. I really loved the atmosphere and the drinks. The food is good, I personally wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Finding this bar can be a little tricky as it's entrance is in an alley, but it's so worth it! This is definitely one of the most unique bars I've been to. First, it's underground. It has an artsy vibe with antique style decor, cool art displays and paintings, and very dim lighting. Plenty of seating at the bar, as well as individual tables and booths. There's also games in the back of the bar, including darts, ski-ball, and pool tables. Drinks were good. Staff were friendly. Great spot for date night or larger groups! read more

Nice enough really. Not sure I will return however. There is nothing wrong with the place, just not really my thing. The drinks are great the taquitos are fantastic. The elote however was simple corn with some cheese and way way way to much spicy crap. We had two bits each and left the rest. read more

Came here with friends on her birthday, drinks were so watered down and had bad after tastes in every one. Not to mention the person helping us was very condescending and weird lol would not recommend "valley bar" read more

This was such a cool place to hang out. They have an area with a dance floor that's more of like a club scene and they also have an area where you can just sit down and hang out. I can't wait to go back! read more

What a fun bar in the heart of downtown Phoenix! For starters, this place is very difficult to find. It's literally down an alley behind an inconspicuous door that looks like it might as well be a freight entrance to a corporate building. And the bar itself is in the basement of the building, making it even more challenging to find. Fortunately, my wife and I had some expert guides when we visited this place, as my cousins had been here many times before and knew exactly where to park and where to go. When you do end up finding your way downstairs to the bar, you'll be impressed by the comfortable ambiance and the unexpectedly large size of this place (there are several rooms, including a retro arcade, which I highly recommend checking out!). The bar is dimly lit and includes an assortment of high-top tables, bar seating and sofa chairs and couches with coffee tables. That being said, the night we visited was quite busy, so a table is not always guaranteed. The occasion for this particular visit was Seinfeld trivia night. Unfortunately, both my wife and I know hardly anything about Seinfeld, but my cousins and their friends (who are big fans of the sitcom), gave the other teams a run for their money (side note: if you are a Seinfeld fan, this trivia night is incredibly specific and ridiculously difficult according to my cousins who are very knowledgeable about this show, so if you're looking for a fun challenge, I'd recommend giving this a shot... just don't be disappointed by the serious competition). As my cousins were answering trivia questions, my wife and I were enjoying some fine food and drink. In particular, we ordered a Castro Margarita, Dos Cabezas red blend, Arizona salad and Caprese flatbread. My wife thought the Castro Margarita was "ok" and the Arizona salad was "too spicy" (it does have a bit of a kick from the Chipotle dressing, but if you like spice, you'll really enjoy this salad... the ingredients were really fresh). Meanwhile, I thought the Dos Cabezas red blend was a good glass of wine (not great though) and the Caprese flatbread was DELICIOUS (this is coming from a New Yorker). Don't be fooled, though, the menu at this place is EXTENSIVE. There are a LOT of options for drinks and quite a few options for food (all of which I am told is quite tasty). Service here is also terrific! Despite the very crowded Seinfeld trivia night, our waitress stopped by our table often to check in and was both friendly and efficient. She also asked on a few occasions if we needed new drinks but never was pushy. What I also found useful was the fact that there were barrels of water at the bar (self-serve style) so we didn't need to wait for our waitress to come back for water refills (important in the desert). Overall, we really enjoyed Valley Bar. The food was delicious, the drink options plentiful, the ambiance fun and spacious, and the service terrific. 5 stars. read more

Cool spot! I totally would have missed it if one of my friends didn't warn me it's in an alley. Monday is free game night and we played skee ball. They have pool tables and a video game and even an area with board games. Nice lounge area hidden in the back as well. There actually was a band there tonight. I would definitely come back. Hip, cool hidden gem in the city. LOVED the Greek fries! read more

Five stars for the originality of this place. Its decor is playful and kitschy. Mobiles hanging with light behind it for shadow play. The place has multiple areas like a house. There's a bar, then restaurant, bathroom, game room, and stage for live music. There's tons of board games but unfortunately some pieces are missing. I'd imagine that would be the case since people are drinking when they play them. There is a shuffleboard table and some dart boards, you just have to ask for the pieces at the bar. I accidentally came across this place one Saturday night adventuring downtown with a date. The game room was too crowded to enjoy and that night there was a DJ instead of live music. I would suggest coming here for dinner and games on a week night or maybe for a show to be able to best enjoy it. They have a schedule online, Hang the DJ does New Wave nights every six weeks. Also, the Sausage and Tomatillos flatbread is delicious and $10. read more

Valley bar is a cool little basement bar/venue. We came here Friday night for a show to see The Spill Canvas. The only issue i would say is the staff here needs to chill and not be such dicks with the attitude. Like the guy kept looking at my ID and me dude it's me. Idk if they have issues with under age kids but Chill out please. As for the venue is small. Best part the AC works wonders no smelling sweaty people bumping into u. I like that they had bar stools all over the venue to sit which was great for me being that I'm 32 weeks pregnant and standing for a long time kinda sucks.( no judgement that I'm still going to concerts being pregnant) haha Omg my husband and I would so come back to this venue tho if any other bands we like ever play here. read more

Horrible customer service. The manager hung up on me and was completely rude to me and my family. We needed extra room for a friend to get in with a wheel chair and made it seem like it was the end of the world. Would never recommend this bar to anyone read more

Fun, good drinks, music is great. Check calendar for specific days as the music genre changes.

It's a cool location in an alley. It's downstairs which makes it even more fun. Weekdays the bars only open. Friday Saturday the dance area is open. It's maybe a little to dark but then again, it's supposed to be a speak easy. Here's why I give 3 stars. It was really hard to get a drink and when we got one, a Tito's cranberry was 8.50$ and the cranberry couldn't have been darker in the glass. The pour was so soft I thought I was in a Catholic Church being frowned upon for wanting more than the sip of communal wine offered. The flip side of you order one of their offered specialty drinks the prices are reasonable for a signature cocktail. Plus I think the menu and signature cocktails are very creative. The beer is canned or bottled but they have a fun selection. Happy hour is everyday I think most of the night. Probably why on the odd days they need to spike the cost to make up for other happy hour nights. We will be back but isn't going to be our go to place. The bar is almost better then good but is shy of being great. Oh the bathrooms were disgusting. I know it was Saturday but omg... we left because we had to piss. read more

Not quite my scene, and the "crafty" cocktails were not quite "up my alley" (Ha, get it? Because this place is LITERALLY down an alleyway.) Down the steps is a cool dive club... one room has great seating options when available, with some unique decor and a good size bar that should service a good amount of people at a time, they need it, as this spot gets quite busy late night. Another room has more seating and board games, pool and darts, as well as a few vintage arcade games. Last room has a DJ and reminds me of some underground clubs in Germany... the music, nor the crowd was quite my style. Really nothing to knock on the place, bar tenders seemed pretty hard working and efficient. Prices were reasonable, although the craft margarita was a little underwhelming. Good local nightlife spot for those who like the atmosphere. Everyone should try it once... or maybe twice like I did... and maybe we will be back for a third visit soon. read more

Smelly. Hard to find. Located in a basement that you can only access through a dark alley way with no signs pointing you in the right direction. Absolutely creepy location. The poor lighting inside and outside the bar is a major deterrent from ever going back. read more

Absolutely horrible experience. My friend was giddy and happy that we finally made it after walking for some time and being lost. As soon as we walked up to the door, this security guard (bald, tattoos on face, white) just told my friend immediately she can not come in, she was sweating...we were confused, and then he said you are swaying and I'm not letting you in. So we asked for a higher manager than him, and he initially denied us. I then pursued it, and he called someone else out. This individual came out (after waiting for 15 mins) said I'm sorry, can't let you in. You cursed and were acting drunk. This never happened. Was looking forward to an amazing night dancing, and then this strange stuff happened. Never patronizing this place again. read more

1/31/2022 at 8:20pm. Was Extremely excited to take my Girlfriend to her first bar tonight. Play games, and see Live Music. Some thing she hasn't done before. However, when we Arrived to the Door. The security guard Refused to let us in. Without even Checking our ID. Dude, saying she was too Drunk. At 8:20pm on a Sunday Night. I didn't want to make a big deal out of it so we just Turned around and left. I'm not one to Leave Reviews Like this because I support Local Business. But this was such a huge Let down in our night. read more

This bar definitely has the speakeasy vibe to it. As with a lot of speakeasy's, finding the place is half the battle. The Valley Bar is located in an alley in Downtown Phoenix. Follow the smell of urine to get there LOL. Once inside, it's a pretty cool spot. The bar is divided into two sections. One is a bar with very cool art on display. There are ample seats and games such as shuffleboard, pool, and darts available. As with speakeasy's, the place is dim with an underground feel. We got beers and a few shots. All the drinks were well made and affordable for a bar. The people were chill too, but there were lots of sugar daddies with their sugar babies there that night lol. Not sure if this is a common occurrance here. We actually came here for a small Indie concert for a band called The Cave Singers. Tickers were $12/each so it was very cheap. The concert is located next to the bar but you have to go through a door to get there. The concert venue itself is basically a stage with an empty area to stand. It is not the biggest place it can feel cramped with a lot of people. The concert venue does present a more intimate feel so you can get up close to your favorite bands. I would recommend the Valley Bar if you want a nice low-key night in Downtown or checking out a smaller Indie band. read more

Decent underground bar. Pretty hot in there and it smells like asphalt after rain but they try covering up the smell with a lot of incense. Don't know if they're going for that grimy look but all the framing and plumbing are visible. Pool tables look like they were sunbathed. They at least have a lot of little booths that fit 2 or 4 people depending on the booth. read more

Valley Bar - Pool table - Music Venues Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I am incredibly disappointed in my overall first experience at Valley Bar. As a native New Yorker, I had high hopes as i entered a back door, from a back alley, then stepping down into an elusive basement venue which reminded me very much of the Village back home. There are two rooms, one for music, one for bar and games. I checked the roster for live music prior to arriving only to get there andfind out that the person working the register could tell me little to nothing about the performers that night. I was advised to "listen through the door and if i liked them, come back to the front to buy wristbands." I bought wristbands and regretted it short after. The website advertised a Taylor something. BUT It was a taylor something else (elyse). A genre of music i don't enjoy as i felt ambushed by a wave of religious folk music, expecting to hear a Taylor something else play indie rock. Staff is rude, doesn't say corner, and nearly plowed into me. No heads up when shuffling through the doors. Nearly gotten taken out twice, once by a busboy and once by a tray of nachos . This is a disservice to the bands that play. The non education about the performers to the consumers of local music is ridiculous. The woman at the register interrupted me as i put my drink down to pay her, telling me i cant leave it there. Um, ok would you like me to dig out my credit card with my teeth? Horrible first impression for what could be an amazing return visit. PS i had to google. AGAIN, the opener, since no one else could tell me who he was. read more

Everytime I come here I meet the best people lol. I come all the way From gilbert/qc area. The bouncers and the male staff are sooo nice the women staff could use some extra work tho ! read more

Still much better options in downtown phx.. don't wast you time or money the drink are week stafff rude

Loved loved this bar!! It gives you a different vibe than your average bar in Phoenix. They have really artsy decorations and the energy there was awesome! The drinks are very reasonably priced and they also had food, but I'll try that next time. The staff was beyond awesome! Usually you go to a bar and have to fight to get a drink, but not here they were very attentive and even after we found an area to sit at. There was a waitress that came up to us right away and grabbed us more drinks and gave us suggestions depending on our tastes. I will for sure be coming back here and highly recommend anyone that is from Phoenix or comes down to visit to make a stop here. read more

Is a fun bar has a few games to play but gave my ID to them to play some cards against humanity and brought back the cards against humanity and they could not find my ID behind the bar they seem like a good place but they are really unorganized. read more

Me and my boyfriend went there for a date night on a sunday to drink and play pool. We liked the vibe of the bar generally.. but the drinks were so disappointing. They were super weak, you could barely even tell there was liquor in it. They made our Whiskey sours differently each time, and each time it got weaker in liquor and sweeter in taste, cause they added more simple syrup than before. The Mojito I got was straight up just sweet water. When I looked at the price they charged 6$ for the liquor. But WHERE was the liquor that we paid for? Afterwards we went to a different bar right around the corner. The drinks there is how they should've been down there in the Valley Bar. Overall, very disappointing. read more

I stopped coming here for a bit because of the rude bouncers, but I came back for a show (JVB & Brae shoutout) and the bouncers were the nicest people ever!!! Super fun show, and as always even though the venue is small it's still a fun place to dance on the weekends. read more

Went here for the first time with a client friend to listen to a performance by my drummer dude pal Joe Costello of the The Joe Costello Syndicate. If you want to listen to some great jazz sounds, do a Google for him, and he's always on the calendar either for a public or private event. He is very personable -- making an effort to stop by and say "HI!" -- and is very talented. He puts together some great groups. Joe had advertised that he was performing there May 10, and the group was spotlighting the music of Chet Baker and Gerry Mulligan. Okay. I don't know whether I should admit this or not, but I had never heard of them. I told my client friend about it, and he jumped at the opportunity of listening to the group. In fact, he told me hehas a ton of Chet and Gerry's CDs. Okay. I guess I better get with it. ... We went. In order to get into the Valley Bar, one has to walk up an alley. UGHHHH! Smelled. ... VB is set up in two parts: the room where the group was performing as well as the other side where a bunch of the younger crowd (20 somethings) were hanging. I was not impressed with the red wine I got. I don't know if there is more than one red wine, but the one I received was almost undrinkable. The acoustics were good as well as the venue. There was plenty of seating whether tables set up in front of the stage and could be reserved, or hightops in the back or folding chairs in between. I would definitely go again, making sure I hold my nose when I walk in the alley. ... read more

Went to see a concert but it's so much more ! It's down an alley on the left side - you'll see dumpsters, a bike rack and a glowing red neon sign . If you think it'll be difficult to find I put up pics from several angles . You have to go down a flight of stairs - then it's like being in a hideaway speakeasy spot . To the left is the bar/food area . I didn't stay on that side too long but what a chill , cool vibe . High tops and booths were available. Cool drink menu -exactly what you'd expect for a place like this . Above the bar had this giant shade that was lit with shadows circling around- I'm wasn't tripping out , I swear . I'd definitely come back just to chill on that side . Couches and other areas to hang too . The concert area - good size ,low ceilings. Lowly lit . Bar area for drinks with high tops in the back . Felt like it could've jammed in about 300 people . The stage was a decent size . No bad views . The sound was great . You can get up close to the performance, no barricade. I highly suggest checking this place out . Bar staff and security were all cool . Left about 11:45 on a Wednesday and the bar side was busy and there was a good amount of people wanting in . Don't wait , just go . read more

We popped into the Valley Bar, while exploring phx celebrating our friends 1 year anniversary from her divorce... This place was probably the coolest spot we encountered while in downtown phoenix - I mean it's in a basement ... literally underground! It felt like the kinda spot you may find in a big city like NY or LA. It was a very chill vibe - there was no cover charge and its a bit hard to find if you don't know where you are going because the entrance is in the back of the building, they had a little game room area (was bummed that the pin ball machine wasn't working though), an area with a DJ spinning tunes and people bustin' moves on the dance floor, then there was a big bar lounges area were we found a table to sit at - we just relaxed and people watched for the most part. The music was cool. The scene was cool ... Alright crowd. The drinks seemed reasonably priced and seemed to be of quality ingredients - tasted good. It was so unique and SOOO super cool that I rated it a solid four stars - I've never seen anything quite like this place in a looooong time. It was fun to just lounge and hang out here ... If I find myself downtown again I would return, but at the same time I won't go out of my way to come here. read more

This was the second time I had made it here, the first night it was kinda a practice run if you will because after finding the entrance in the alley and heading down we found the crowd to be none existent and very chill. We looked around and decided we wanted a more busier place so we left. Now knowing the lay of the land we gave it another go this time on a Saturday night and I will say wow their staff probably appreciated the slow night of our first visit because it was packed last night. I originally came to hear the dj which was playing and dance a bit. I found the dance floor area to be incredibly dark and so crowded. The dance floor light show was poor and unimpressive. We decided to leave that area and head over to the lounge which was equally overcrowded. While waiting in the line to order, a cocktail waitress asked if she could get our order for us which we promptly took advantage of. While waiting for our drinks a booth became available where we sat and were able to listen to the dj as well as converse. Our service was great the entire night despite how crowded it was and our drinks were good. One note about our drinks was we first ordered Tito's and it was an up charge. Our drink cran and Tito's came out and we could instantly see that it was a light pour and our tab was high because of the up charge. The next drink we ordered off of their cocktail menu since we now had one while sitting at the booth. The menu was pretty in depth and offered lots of choices beer, wine and spirits. The prices were also significantly less than what I paid for my previous light pour top shelf liquor. Our new drinks came and were definitely better values and tasted great! I'd pass on any upgrade in the future and just stick with their curated craft cocktails everyone enjoyed them. The worse thing I saw was the bathrooms were in serious need of attention and anyone who needed to spend more time than a in and out wouldn't have been able to due to cleanliness issues. They need to focus more efforts on this area in the future. I would have had to leave or find another place. My final thoughts of the place was that they need a lot more dance lights on their dance floor it was rather underwhelming and frankly amateur. The lounge was great even though it was incredibly crowded. If your not good with crowds and being bumped into a lot don't brave the dance floor, find a spot in a booth like us or a place out of the walk flow and chill it's a nice place with lots to watch and drink, plus, the staff was attentive and friendly. I'll be back for sure knowing what to expect. read more

It's happened twice now. Both times I went - was completely ignored by the bartender (completely). But you know, the 10 other people after me.. they all got drinks. both times it was like having your ex as your bartender.. just dissing you for no reason whatsoever. No explanation. I only had one beer (wasn't drunk). It's literally like she decided (both times I went) that I wasn't attractive enough to serve a fucking beer too. The gal who thinks she's all that with the tattoos on the back of her legs- you are not all that! read more

There was a bartender wearing a bad ass beetle juice style shirt. Very authentic and amazing service! Thank you for good laugh! Hope to get back soon read more

This is an interesting place first of all the entrance is in the back of the alley when you come in you go downstairs from the kitchen which is fine to a basement one side has a concert area well the other side has the bar and a reading room. It's a very interesting place very cool and promising did you give away free show tickets which is a nice touch. Overall was a pleasant experience not sure if was really my scene though but was good all the same. read more
