This is advertised as a gay dive bar. It should be advertised just as a neighborhood bar. The crowd was mostly straight. The bartender was super friendly and drinks were reasonably priced. It has a AMI Jukebox but by the time I arrived there was no way anything I tried to play would be. The AMI selection of music was very outdated. I found only one recent song in an excessive amount of searching but my taste in music probably wasn't appropriate for the crowd.

The drinks were ok, the pool table dilapidated but we still had fun playing. What irked me about this place is that just today during a very hot afternoon, my two buddies and I popped in to have a drink and shoot some pool. The bartender immediately made us put our shirts on. We were appalled. This is a gay bar and we are gay and where did this rule come from... simulation of het values and norms? The Eagle and other gay bars do not make you put your shirt on... in fact, they give you drink specials if you are shirtless. What has become of our gay culture and traditions?! There is no "law" against being shirtless in a gay bar. What gives?! Shame on Cheers!

It hasn't changed a bit since 1989. I remember one .75 cent tequila shooter night, I had 12. I was still in my 20's at the time, so chalk one up to experience. I couldn't even look at a bottle of tequila without feeling queasy. Ah the good ole days.

Good water. The bar serves tap water that comes with ice, so it is nice and cold. The cup is plastic.

We love visiting this divey gay bar in Uni Heights. Stevan is an excellent bartender. Always nice running into other locals and playing pool. If you want to listen to music be prepared for those in front of you throwing down $20 in the juke box to take over for the night. Lots of fun times here for 17 years.

Comfort neighborhood bar with strong drinks, and friendly people. AMI jukebox adds to the mix.

Walked in with a group of friends for a drink and was treated poorly by the bartender. I didn't catch his name but this was last night 05/27/23. There was absolutely no reason for the attitude we received and the unwelcoming facial expressions.

Very unsettling experience tonight. Was with a few friends visiting from out-of-town. This was actually the second time I have seen this bartender lose it on a customer, and it's only my fourth ever visit to the bar. A guy came in, went to greet his friends and the bartender (Mike?) started screaming obscenities, pounding on the bar, even physically came out from behind the bar after the dude for a sec. The bouncer did eventually take the dude outside, but even he seemed confused about it all, and he had to spend as much time calling off the rabid bartender! The whole place went silent, how AWKWARD! I do not know these guys relationship but the bartender was way out of line in how he handled this situation. (He did later apologize to us, but too little too late) No thanks. We had a couple drinks, good prices, but not worth the stress.
Just happened to drive by, and I am so glad I went in! Anthony was delightful and they had a special on tequila for cinco de mayo. The music was all over the place but in a good way.

If you like gossip this is where you should go. The bartender Jennifer is a fat drug addict alcoholic. She will cut people off because she thinks you've had too much but she drinks a bottle of Patron per day. And she says "the day I meet the right woman to be in a relationship is the day that I will stop drinking so much." I was like you are drunk all the time woman. She probably has cirrhosis of the liver. Bad customer service.

I went here a last summer, will probably not go again, went with a small group, it was pretty small bar, and the people just seemed so weird, all of us thought the same. We just drank beer, the service was just ok.

Cheap drinks and laid back atmosphere. Love this place. Begum was the best bartender!
