This bar used to be so cool. It felt very old-school. I loved the previous aesthetic. I think it was a big appeal for me, as well as my friends. Also, not to forget, there was always free pool, which you never get anymore.
We went there recently and they updated the whole bar, apparently because of new ownership. It definitely took away that special aesthetic. I think a-lot of the new updates could have gone without. Now it just feels like a random bar, and the crowd there was never that great to begin with. Don’t think we’ll be coming back.
I originally rated this place a 5, and it was the only bar I went to (frequent at least twice a week typically) because of the diverse patrons. Under new ownership, it seems they are actively trying to eliminate black patrons. They have the touch-tunes app jukebox, I just tried to play some of my normal music like artists such as snoop, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kid Cudi, etc. Basically all rap music, regardless of the content. For anyone wondering, I'm white. I love my bartenders here (Mel and Nicole are the only 2 I know) but due to ownership changes, I will not be coming back. They apparently have an ideal crowd, and I'm not for the racist shenanigans.
Atmosphere: 1
How can I start? First it's absolutely breathtaking inside and out. History, charm, warmth permeate this well kept establishment. I was blown away by the decor through out this bar. I felt like I was back in a time of high class . But, the warmth and charm of another country. Maybe England or, Ireland. Just really beautiful decor inside and out. The bartenders, people, Vibe are excellent!
I didn't pick up the bartenders name but was very friendly. We spit talk about the decor for a quick second and I will probably go in to find out more. Very good looking establishment an atmosphere I find comfortable.
My favorite bar of all time. Please don’t ever remodel. The vintage inside gives me all the feels. My parents and their friends used to drink here and now I go every time I’m in town. Even with my dad once. Holds a special place in my ❤️
This place has been here since the 80's - between the plush bar cushion and the plush chairs all the way down to the large dart area and pool tables - this place has thrived for a reason! Nice litlle hole in the wall place with plenty of parking up front or out back.
Will be back. Bartenders are awesome!
I love this bar. Great pours! Prices have gone up a bit but still a good deal. Bartenders are friendly and a good crowd that is welcoming and accepting to everyone (well most people are.. there's one annoying short guy with dark hair that sits towards the end of the bar where the zebra is and gets drunk and mouthy sometimes but he doesn't represent the rest of the people) I do wish they'd take Amex
Very chill atmosphere with a dive bar feel. The drinks are super strong, maybe the best liquor ratio in town. Great beer prices all the time. Darts and pool help make it a very fun vibe.
West End is my favorite bar to attend. I love their strong Islands! I love playing darts with my wife!!! If I stay sober long enough we'll get a couple games of pool in as well!! Overall like I said it's my favorite bar and my wife and I have the best times there!!!👍👍👍
