Wow what an impressive new back yard these folks threw together it's definitely a cool spot to hang and meet people. I'm sober but meet friends here and come to activities as well. They are always generous with the non alcoholic drinks knowing I'm a designated driver it helps when bars support you in your sobriety. I do wish there were more mock tails but sooner or later they'll catch on. Great space to meet up and meet cool folks.

Bartender on Wednesday night was a complete dick. Had 2 customers and myself. He ignored me. Had to yell to get his attention. Got mad because he said I was interrupting him. I've been in this business, the guy didn't want to be there. Felt like I was at any homophobic straight bar. That is how bad this dude was, owners would be wise to terminate him.

The worst possible thing a bar can be is forgettable. This place was completely forgettable. They set up a party with great DJs. I have seen them play other venues and came for them. But they were on a patio that looked like it was designed by Target and their music was SO quiet. Turns out it was management making them stay silent.The bar staff is awesome. But everything else about this place is completely unremarkable. I'll be checking out Dry Heat at other venues. The Tool Shed seems to be named for the tool of a manager.

The staff can be a bit rude at times, but Brad stood out as a genuinely nice and attentive bartender.One thing to note about the Tool Shed is that they do not serve food. However, they do regularly bring in a food truck or vendor, so you'll still have options for a bite to eat while enjoying your drinks.One downside of the Tool Shed is that it is cash only, which can be inconvenient. They do have an ATM on site, so you can easily withdraw cash if needed.The highlight of the Tool Shed is undoubtedly the patio. It offers a fantastic atmosphere, perfect for relaxing and enjoying your drinks. However, it's worth mentioning that the inside of the bar is small and can get cramped, especially during Thursday underwear nights.

We have been regulars for almost 2 yrs. In that time, we have seen a lot of changes and out of this world changes and behavior allowed by the bar owner. NYE 2023, our group of 6 - 3 of us were physically assaulted by one of bartenders. We think his name is Tony. And his fellow bartender - Chris (who is very unfriendly, clearly favors Anglos) continued the aggression. We went to leave and the security guard (super sweet man, white beard) said to ignore it and go back inside. Said it's NYE, I'll talk to them. We go back in. Decided not to press assault charges. Went back two nights ago. Same security guard - super awesome. My husband went to Todd and asked for 2 cocktails. Todd is a a total sweetheart. He clearly felt horrible delivering the dirty message (from Chris and Tony) that he was not allowed to serve us. Wow. Chris and Tony assaulted 3 of us physically and we are on a no-serve list. Super nutty. And Robert Cole - the owner turns a blind eye to it. And Larry the bar back singling us out to another security while we were chatting with two other friends is insane. This is not a high-end joint. It used to be a nice place to meet friends. However, Robert, the owner has lost control of reality and is allowing bar tenders that are a legal liability put him and his bar at risk. While I am not currently pursuing to press charges for the assault, two others are not as lenient. The inmates run the gig and emasculated the bar owner.. Better, chill sexy bartenders happy to you as Dick's, Blacbook, Steer Bar, hunters and the barracks. 10 us (and more boycotting) will never go back to Toolshed. There are other places where low-brow bartenders and bar backs are not tuning their lies into issues for members of the gay communities that are the lifeline of their business.

Very Friendly bar, great drinks and surprisingly serves the best food in town! Especially late night! Came to pick up a friend but then saw their food truck so I ended up ordering food and staying for drinks. What an amazing soul the cook is! Made my order quick and got me some extras. Will definitely come again for those sliders and tots!

My favorite “dive bar” since they opened in the early 90’s. There almost every evening for my usual beverages. The staff are the best, and unlike most bars, this one has very little (if any) attitude. As Zelda Rubenstein said it best, “All are welcome. All are welcome.”Parking: On event nights, parking can be a bit of a challenge, so get there early.

My old home away from home som 24 odd years ago. Still great place, but oh the things I used to do here!!!
Really like used to go here until after tonight I get it was underwear night and I was really excited to go but when I got there, it was crazy and that’s fine but when I got to the bar and I asked for a margarita, he told me he couldn’t serve it to me because it was too busy but all other bartenders were giving mixed drinks like that to all the other people. The older guy with the white beard literally told me I couldn’t have a margarita and give it to me later. The problem with that is I didn’t want it I came to get that and it’s a bar. If it’s gonna be busy and you can’t handle that then you should not be in this industry. I don’t know who the owner is, but I came out here for pride, and they already started off with a great bad review for you guys

Wasn't given great friendly service and was overcharged on a bud lite draft beer during happy hour. Went outside to car park beer garden and the atmosphere was cold and clicky. Maybe I didn't have my gay vibe on enough!!
