Every time we go to Esquire we have a great experience. The food is amazing and inexpensive for its quality but the service staff is top quality. Friendly, thorough and efficient! Cudos to the Esquire Management and staff! Well done

I had a great tasting pizza for lunch. My co-worker and I were able to carry on a conversation because it was loud. And the wait staff were fantastic!

Reliably good bar food. Dishonest ownership and downright bad staff. They will encourage you to drive after drinking too much(2022); they will leave you bleeding outside in the bushes while they look on drinking, smoking, and laughing (2 times in 2023, their own cook); they will give you cement mixers and bar shots (spills collected from the bar mat) once you are too inebriated (- 2022, ongoing). As a worker, if you don't drink on the job, refuse to steal change as "tips" from the customers, and endeavor to offer genuine service they will quickly ostracize and scapegoat you; then when workers quit, the management slanders and spreads rumors of drug use or similar nonsense to cover their own abuses (bartenders 22, 33, and 39, the last of which was a single mother.) It's like Cheers, if the bartenders only wanted your money and didn't care anything about you or the community (except when you're giving them money, of course!).

There is literally no one in here. We went to play Steve Holy, Nelly, and Bruno Mars. There were 3 white people and 1 black woman so before yall start to say it was racially biased in the music: we literally loaded $50 on the TouchTunes and we suddenly got skipped for 314 songs even after we paid for fast play see pic below. When mentioned to the staff they got disrespectful and shrugged their shoulders

Great selections of pizza and cheap beers - a perfect combination for a local bar. It is a small town bar but it was hard to believe how much cheaper everything was compared to even other places nearby. Nothing fancy and great place to hang out with people.
