Visiting town and stopped by the bar! Looked smaller and decent from the outside but I found quite the opposite. I was disappointed to find a dirty bar with a tipsy bartender and she was talking trash... (yes, drinking on the clock) who was really just not nice. The drink was decent but seemed like staff was too comfortable to are about hospitality and customer service. The environment is typical small bar and not bad at all, sturdy stools etc.Also, I was in the bathroom and heard 3 girls talking about how their fake IDs worked easily. YIKES..Decided we will go to other bars for the remainder of our trip.. I would be careful in here. Not sure I felt comfortable with both of those things.. yikes!

My friend and I were there. A worker was drinking, had to of been on the clock, was yelling and harassing us at the bar. They even included some of their friends that were there to harass us the entire night. I say on the clock because they started helping make drinks at the end of the night and cash people out, pretty sure that’s illegal to be drinking and working. Anyways, go to zubs, rays, or barmacy they have a way better atmosphere.

What a great dive bar. Service was a little slow with only one bar tender. It was a little to busy for 1 person but had great drinks and amazing prices. ? we did not eat but there were a lot of pick up orders going out.

This bar has come a long way! It seem not so long ago to be such a humble bar and to see how much it has grown Under New Management. it's literally a night and day difference. This is the one bar where all is welcome all is treated with dignity and respect and everyone comes to have fun and listen to good music. Thank you guys for making such a awesome bar greater than it ever was.

And the clown running the place just further proves his unprofessionalism with "hIT tHe rOaD jAcK.".Nice to see they took a break from leaving negative reviews for other businesses in Highland Square to respond with such an original response. An area that is still considered unsafe no matter how much they try.Oh....and they never did respond to the FACT they are having people leave negative reviews for other businesses. No wonder you're in Highland Square. lol

What’s the point in having a TouchTunes system if the bartender is just going to change it?
