Very disturbing experience at this bar. My girlfriend and I went here, and at first had a very pleasant experience having a few drinks at the bar and talking to everybody. However, at closing at 2am, one of the bartenders got very nasty with us for not leaving the bar quick enough. He physically pushed me out of the bar and then sucker punched me in the face. Then when my girlfriend yelled at him he pushed her to the ground. Police were called. Would love to talk to the owner about this experience. Totally unprofessional

We came by on a Monday and we re surprised to see it was karaoke night! We ended up getting up there and having fun. What a surprise for a first date. It was fun and definitely broke the ice. The drinks were good and we had some green tea shots.

If youre a fan of live music this is the bar for you! I came in for the first time to see a friends band play and immediately dug the vibe of this place. Its just a really chill place for locals (youll find NO tourists here)....almost hole in the wallish. I came in with my friends a little after 7 and the place was pretty empty but it didnt take long for it to fill-up as the evening progressed. By the time 11 pm rolled around it was a packed house in there. The bartenders were all awesome and super friendly and the drink specials are on point. Happy hour until 8pm on Saturdays? Ill take that! The band I came to see (Black Market Club) and their subsequent opening acts were awesome! The place is kinda small so it really makes the show feel more intimate. Ill definitely be back (live show or no) to spend a Saturday evening at 502 Club again.

I use to go to this bar quite a bit when I was younger. So it was very cool to revisit it again as Im now older. The bartender was friendly. They normally have quite a beer selection. Though this time I went they were out of 3 different beers I wanted. Regularly in the evenings this place host live music and or a dj. Unfortunately I went too early for any of that. They do have darts hidden away in the back if you like playing. When you walk in the front I love that there is booth seating for a more intimate feel. Thats if they arent full when you go. Ill have to go back in the evening to see how the nights are here now

Super fun Sunday night open mic night. The bands were enjoyable and entertaining. The bar had a great selection of beers but I prefer seltzers and they had both White Claw and Topo Chico seltzer options, in many flavors! I like the seltzer choices. The bar was quaint and wasnt overcrowded but there was a good number of people, some were dancing in front of the stage and most others were sitting down. Basically, you can do whatever you want. It was my first time there but I would definitely return again.

I am bummed that the five dollar drink and shot special is not available anymore but the bartenders are super friendly and the drinks are really good. They have a really wide selection of beer too.

We came here after a company Christmas party and were shocked to see them playing cartoons on the giants screens inside instead of playing music. EVERYONE inside (including the staff) was completely enthralled by what was on the screens and we were all completely thrown off. Other than that, the drinks were really good and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Maybe we just went on the wrong day? I would definitely go back as long as its on a day that no cartoons are playing.

Loved this little gem! Walked in and immediately heard Nine inch nails followed by Gorillaz and friendly welcomes! The bartender had a large party but got to us within 5 minutes of waiting and she was extremely helpful as well. We were worried it was going to be pricey since it is very nice and the bar is cute and classy, but the signature cocktails were $6.50 and strong yet yummy. Will be coming back more often!
