| - After years of by-passing this place, I finally ventured into last night, and to say the least I was disappointed. Yes, its been there forever, and yes it has a lot of history and has been known to host some famous bands in the past but that's all it really has or had going for it.
It was not overly busy when we got there (10pm on a Saturday night) but it took what seemed forever to get a drink. There were two older guys behind the bar that were slower than snails and they did their best not to notice me waiting. What irked me even more was that two people that came after to me were served first. (A good bartender always knows who is at the bar first)
I finally got served and wanted to pay by debit and then glared at me and said cash only. I could have sworn I saw someone else at the end of the bar pay by debit.
He then pointed at the ATM behind me and said he would give me my drinks when I used the machine (in which the bar makes a service fee on)
Aside from the attitude the bartender, the crowd was pretty lame, the band was just average, beer selection was limited, and this truly is a 'dive' bar.
If you want to experience an old bar with live music and history, check out the Rex which is just down the street from here, and if you have been thinking about hitting this place, don't bother, its not worth the time.
Thank you Mr Old Guy Crap Bartender for giving me crap service, I have received much better service from people that work at 7/11 :(
