Last night there was inexcusable behavior from one of their bouncers. It was my wedding night, and my wife and I were trying to enter the bar for an after party. We had already changed out of our wedding attire, and were looking forward to spending some extra time with our friends. I made it through the bouncer with no issue, he checked my ID for a couple seconds, and let me in. However, the same cannot be said for my wife. He stopped her, asked for her ID, and looked at it for nearly 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, he asked for another form of identification. My wife gave him her credit cards which have the same exact name as the ID. The bouncer looked for another 30 seconds, using his flashlight, then started eyeing her up and down. Then, he asked her to smile--extremely inappropriate behavior, ESPECIALLY considering my wife looks exactly the same as her ID photo. After another minute of examination, I asked the bouncer what the problem was. He said "it doesn't look like her". Not sure how this is possible--eye color, hair color, smile, name on credit card all are identical. I asked if he needed me to bring up a social media account. He said "let me do my job". He continued to look at the IDs, all while at eyeing my wife up and down. We reiterated for a second time it was our wedding night, and he said "I'm just doing my job". He finally let her in. This is disgusting, piggish, and behavior that should be reprimanded by their higher up staff. This nearly ruined our night. I never want to support this establishment ever again. Get new bouncers that are not discriminatory, gross, and rude. I would LOVE to speak to the owners so they can rethink the employment of this individual. I can honestly say that this will forever be the last time I ever attend this bar, will never recommend it, and it will forever be mentioned in the same breath as this story. Please, find another bar with great people and great staff to go to--do not support this type of behavior.

If I could put zero stars I would. Not only did my partner and I go in this establishment with pure intentions of getting a drink but wished to use the bathroom first and the bartender(bouncer¿) was nothing but rude and disrespectful. We did not approach him with any hostile or malice intention but he completely disregarded this and was mean, kicked us out, and did not allow us to use the bathroom even though we intended to stay.

FYI - Guinness is $12 hahaha. That’s insane. Beer is cheaper across the street at the fancy clean places.

It’s an amazing sports bar and they have plenty of tv’s so everything you wanna watch, you can watch and request if you want. The only downside is that they do not have a kitchen but you can order food from the bar next door and bring it to here, which is lovely!

Great bar, however the bounce called ‘Evan’ was a very rude and not cooperative bouncer. Not very friendly and accused me of not buying drinks from the bar, when he was the one that ID’d time to get and. Spent almost $100 as

My husband and I went here in mid September to catch the last quarter of our football game. When I asked the brunette bartender for my tab, it was $120. I was surprised and asked for an itemized receipt, she replied they don’t have itemized receipts. We each only had one pint of beer and a few shots, there was no way it a have been that much. I know that she put other customers, her regulars, drinks on my tab. I normally don’t leave bad reviews, however, I tried to call 10+ times, I even left a message and no one answered or called me back. Don’t trust this place, they will rip you off!

If you're 21 and looking to drink for the first time. This is the place for you. Not much else worth mentioning about this place. Definitely caters to the younger crowd and has really stayed the same year after year. They are consistent. I will give them that! If you're looking for something similar, go check out Baja Sharkeez. Same deal.Parking: If you can't find street parking, pick any one of the other paid lots around.
Dwayne behind the bar was fantastic
