Sugar And Spice

Not worth it. Clearly inexperienced bar tender (white girl w long straight brown hair) I had about 3 sips of a dri k from anodyne before walking across the street w some friends and the bar tender refused to serve me, saying I was drunk (I've served alcohol for 6 years and was very obviously not even slightly intoxicated) but continued to serve the clearly other drunk people around me. Ive never had this happen before anywhere, even when i actually was drunk lol. Even her co worker wanted to serve me (she told me so) and knew i was sober but couldn't because the other girl had already falsely accused me lol. And if i was too drunk to be served, they also shouldn't have watched me leave w my keys in my hands. Lots of better places around town w better service and more experience. Home girl didnt even put ice in the adioses she served so willingly to my drunk friends, they had to ask her for ice lol. If you can't tell a socially anxious sober woman from a beligerently drunk dude next to her you probably should find a new job. Cause you're not good at this one.

For a dive bar, it’s what you expect. Drinks and atmosphere meet expectations. However, the bar tenders are beyond unprofessional. Leaving at 2 am and the bar tender accusing me of saying things under my breath, I’m 36, I don’t have that filter. Literally trying to get the bouncers to get rough with our group because she was either intoxicated herself or strung out on something else. It’s unprofessional, puts patrons and staff at risk for child like behavior for a 20 something bar tender. First time in 15 years of social drinking I’ve had a staff member at a club/bar pretend like somehow I was causing a problem. Friend in the group said the same thing, walking toward the door and she has her hands up yelling. Look you work a rough area, and the bar scene isn’t fun, but don’t pick fights with casual customers who are leaving. I work with ppl like that in my regular job, and if this is the best you can get as an owner, you are better off closing the doors.

If I could give zero stars I would. We had a great night the six of us, spent about $500.00 if not more collectively. The night was over and a good night, we were at food truck with hotdogs in front. The bartender sent out a customer we were chatting with well in the line for alcohol, that we had an open tab. Well we didn't, we paid up front for everything and did not have a tab open. This customer was more intoxicated then we were telling us we have to pay or we going to jail. We ask the security to validate her claims of skipping on on the bill. Security would not assist we had to get APD after the customer assaulted my sister in law and slapped her in the face. Well guess what we had a receipt and showed APD who assisted after staff wouldn't. Been there many times and never had a fellow customer chase and assault us because the bartender sent them. Was glad APD was able to assist us after the customer and 3 of her friends chased us to our car... Will not return which sucks because we normally go there when we have family in town. After my sister in law got assaulted will not take any visitors to this location.

Nice place to hang out, bar tenders are friendly and drinks fairly priced, has a lot of potential hope owners do something cool With it. I would love this to be my choice on Wednesday's and fridays.... a lot of potential... 5 stars for the good bartenders.

They searched my bag and practically dumped it out on the bar, I have never had someone go through my baglike that, it was like show and tell absolutely unprofessional.

I love this distillery everything was good as far as the beer in the food

The door guy is drunk and inappropriately searching people when they arrive. I didn't even go inside after being grouped by that degenerate.

I have attempted to call for a month during business hours no answer. Wanted to see if anyone in staff has found a carbon fiber wedding ring with wood on the inside? If you could please reach back out to me by responding here that would be great. Thank you

Nice place for pool or foosball. When the windows open upstairs it's the best view of downtown.

White girl on duty likes to double charge people for drinks that are not ordered. 6 drinks were ordered, this individual believed they could charge for 9 drinks and made it clear that if a dispute was attempted, she would have security physically remove us. This serve is rude, condescending and a scammer. White girl with long, straight brown hair.

A nice place to hang out with friends. You can play pool and pingpong here.

Cole Markey

How on earth is service this slow. Place is nearly empty downstairs and it's taken me an hour to get 2 drinks, while sitting at the bar.

Harry Greene

Pretty solid dive with pool tables. Has a lot of character
