I am only posting this review so other Brown humans know..I don’t think many of the white peoples that was there that night are actually used to Black people..they were legitimately racist ..The bar was awesome..the music was top notch and all the bartenders was very attentive…and not all people were this way for the record I met some really nice genuine people.
Woefully short on waitstaff when we visited, which translated to longer than normal service times, but the food was very good and we enjoyed ourselves.To owner: we totally get it! There's no way to know for certain what will happen and you plan for the norm. Won't keep us from coming back
It got too smokey and had to leave. Further, had to quarantine my clothes in the washroom. Yikes. Normally this results in 2 star reviews...... That's how great the food was and how great of a time I had: it clawed back two stars.But wait, there's another star missing? Yeah pool tables are too expensive for how bad they are. And dumb how it's set up. Don't come here "for pool". Just don't. Well, unless you're rich. ?
First and foremost this is a place that allows smoking so keep that in mind if it bugs you. If it's a good time it's something I can tolerate and this place is a good time. Also, the food is really good. Spinach salad and salmon was cooked perfectly medium.
Omg the fried mushroom are amazing perfectly fresh. I felt very welcome. Environment was great everyone wan wonderful especially my server Avery she was the absolute best making Sorensen had everything we needed. I've been to several places in my 7 months since moving here and never felt more comfortable than here. Again if you get Avery she the best.
Absolutely love this bar. Great live band and music. Potato wedges are great and they have the best fried green tomatoes I've ever tasted ?
They had real good food and service. I also enjoyed seeing the band. A great place to spend an evening and shoot pool.
Wife and I went for a late lunch, nice friendly staff, place was a bit dark though which can be off putting to some. This is a smoking facility so be warned ahead of time. We both ordered fish and chips as well as a lobster bisque. Bisque was good, the fish and chips were a bit greasy from old oil but still good seasoning and fluffy fish. One thing that stands out a bit is the wait staff needs more training on some basics, ordered a single old fashioned and it was not correct other than makers mark and bitters. It's a simple bar standard so I would expect most people to be able to make it or ask someone for advice. The waiter did say she was new so I'm not blaming her for being new here, just a bit more training on the basic drinks needed.
Let me set the scene. A pair of 25 and 26 year old white women walk in with a pair of 27 year old black men to get some burgers. One very nice young woman told us to grab any seat we want. However, the bartender immediately asked for our IDs. She did not ask anybody else who walked in to see theirs and we were not going to be drinking, but we showed them anyway. She walked back to the kitchen to “show her manager,” yelling very loudly that “these are clearly fake!” I will let you in on a not-so-secret secret: they are all 100% valid. She came back a few moments later saying that they were fake and they can’t serve us but that she can either keep them or call the police. I told her to go ahead and call because we can’t drive anywhere without them. She walked back into the kitchen for quite a while, came back and said she wasn’t calling the police but that we can have our IDs back, however they will not serve us and we needed to leave. Once again, we never asked for alcoholic beverages. We didn’t even sit down. This was a disgusting display of racism and horrible service. Do not even waste your time thinking about coming to this sorry excuse for a social establishment.Responding to below comment:I don’t know why I’m bothering at this point but here we go. I was already informed you do not have scanners during the day and that the systems were down. The bartender literally held up her Georgia ID to check against our Tennessee IDs and then decided they were fake. Say it was not racism all you want, I truly hope not, but then please explain to me why that woman was terrible to us from the second we stepped inside, before we ever said a word, AND as we were complying with her request to check IDs with no complaints. NOW she tried to keep our driver’s licenses AND TOLD US TO LEAVE. We cannot legally drive without them so I told her to GO AHEAD AND CALL because we needed them before we could do so. SHE declined to call the police. Not us. I almost called them myself when she took longer than 5 minutes to come back the second time around. For goodness’ sake this is the most amount of unprofessional behavior I have ever seen.
Had a great time! Band was awesome and this is the only place this far north of the city that is open for food, music, and a good time. Our waitress Megan was excellent and the food was awesome. Highly recommend
