the place is dirty. It seems that it would be safer to eat food off the floor in an operating room in a hospital. I'd probably stick to bottled beer if I had to. The men's washrooms were disgusting the two or three times I went. My favorite time was when The urinals were covered in what looked like a mixture of vomit and salmon chunks. The bar is filled with scruffy, greasy haired, rambling patrons that stagger in and out of the bar with their gravel toned chain smoking voices, The only thing good I can say about the food was how good the nachos were. the area is horrible, lots of homeless people and drug addicts you'll encounter if you keep your car at home and just want to get drunk. Don't be surprised to be asked for spare change multiple times within minutes. The homeless walk up and down the streets asking the same people over and over again for spare change.
the management / employees are very rude and stuck up, i did not feel welcomed, none of the employees seemed they enjoyed their jobs. The staff needs to understand that you have to be nice to the people to get them to come back. i went there to check out some local bands and the shows played there are very hit and miss, one show i went to went off without a hitch. The second one they had trouble assembling one guys drum kit. I asked my friends in bands seeing if they would play there again and they refused to how unprofessional they were treated. Some bands struggle to get shows once a month let alone once a week and for them to refuse says something. I'll agree with another person in the comments saying that the sound guy(s) are terrible how they mixed the instruments it all sounded like sludge. The velvet underground , rockpile and a bunch of other places do a much better job. Maybe they are new for all I know at doing live shows as I've never heard of the sisters place people are mentioning but if the crew assembling the gear and all cannot do their jobs either fire them and get new people who will probably want more money (oh no) or turn it into a karaoke bar or something.
all in all I'm never going again unless some friend in a band begs me to go and i've got absolutely no better plans
ways to improve
clean the place regularly
treat the customers / bands better
fire the sound guys and the ones helping assembling / mixing the instruments if more people comment on this
