Summer nights are fun out on the patio although there seems to be fights more often than expected. After 10:00 PM, the bar goes down hill. Some nights it's just the wrong crowd and other nights it seems to be that some are simply over served. With that being said, I still feel very safe at this bar. The location is great being close the the fire department and main road intersection. Parking is easy to find considering the bank next door usually allows the bar to use it. Bathrooms are clean but need to be fixed up. Food is served quickly but I'm usually there for drinks. The DJ is WAYYYY too loud. You can't even hear yourself think. I'm all for loud music, but I'd like to be able to order my beverage without writing it down for the bartenders. The entire building seems to shake when the DJ is there. Music is a must, but turn it down a little. Bar is laid back allowing us to have large groups attend and even move tables for a safer dance floor. If you're trying to go out and hang out with your friends, maybe this bar isn't best for you. But if you like the downtown scene and don't want to you downtown prices, tradesman is a nice spot.
