My Favorite Bar
What's not to love. A neighborhood bar feel with added features like the Mine Shaft for theme nights. Huge dance floor out back. The owner is constantly improving the place. Great for casual, leather, gear, drag. Also, pool, darts, karaoke. This place feels like a home away from home.
New Management New Bar
The new owner and management have turned this bar around. There are regular events in the "Mine Shaft" basement bar, regular events in the back room dance floor and stage including Drag Shows, and Dance events. The main bar has that neighborhood bar feel. I knew the bar with the previous owner and it never really got off the ground. The new owner has done amazing things with the space.
Disappointing
Was very disappointed in a trip this month - January 2012. I like the style of the bar. Rather a retro old feel. That was cool. The time I popped in for a drink was Saturday night. 8pm. Met by the bartender who wasn't really interested or so I thought. No energy about that gal at all. Then another customer came in and asked her: 1. How are you? response: same old. Second question: how were your holidays? responses: so , so. Some other question the patron asked met by a one word response. The thing is the bartender did have any energy or personality and wasnt interested in her customers. That night a the bar they were watching some TV Show! On a saturday night? Place was quiet and dead when you walked through the door. Should have been a red light. Stayed for one beer and left.. Not worth the walk up the hill. Later the same bartender was at the Saloon! Tells yah a lot.
Not
Definitely NOT
Could be worse
Actually, the bar itself isn't bad and they have draft beer. Granted, I went in the early evening and there were only a few other people in the bar at the time, but it's definitely not the seediest bar I've ever been to - not by a long shot. However, someone at another bar in town said the upstairs and downstairs is where it's really bad. Didn't get to see those parts. * * *
