Be careful with your drinks. Few creepers around here that dont take no for an answer. Like everywhere, but this places weird, dated, creeper vibes didnt help out either.

This a biker bar. If you are not white, you are not welcome. Terrible, uncomfortable situation last weekend when my boyfriend and I stopped by for a drink. We left after about 5 minutes.

Was having a great time until the BarBack with a newsboy hat threw away my drink with a smile . Carded me after I left the smoking area , and gave me the crazy eyes while cackling until I left. A bad apple among the rest of the employees , good drinks , good music .

AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE. Safe to say I will never return to this bar ever again in my entire life, and adamantly advising that all my local Austinite friends, family members, and friends from out of town to do the same. I came here with a friend in the evening and the only bartender (tall, lanky woman) took my drink order. She was rude, overtly disrespectful (not sure if it was because the color of my skin, ethnicity, or my gender but it absolutely felt like white-privileged, unwarranted discrimination), and clearly agitated with my drink order or me. This stroke me as unusual because she had a pleasant attitude and demeanor with the other customers and she dragged her feet to make me my drink. I literally did nothing to this woman, nor did my friend, to deserve such treatment. It took like 15 minutes to get a drink when the bar barely had like 2-3 people in it to begin with. And you guessed it - the other customers ordered drinks after us and of course they got their drinks before we received ours. If you respect yourself, you will not bring your business here. To the owner of this bar - I know this isnt your fault, but do better and hire better people that are qualified to be in positions that require decent customer-service.

I went there to day drink with my friend a couple of times for their cheap drinks. Friendly people all around. We ended up playing pool with other people and the bartender was also very nice. (My friend ended up drinking too much and blessed their floors with her stomach contents. Instead of getting kicked out though, everyone came to help. Very refreshing experience.)
