Take it from somebody who LIVED HERE.
The owner, Grace, and her mother, Harriet, are abusive and threatening. They harassed me every single day for no reason, even going so far as to corner and threaten me behind a closed door with a group of men on the other side. This is not just unprofessional, it’s dangerous. Do not support this bar!!!
Then their staff had the nerve to ask me to deal with their mice problems behind the counter not once, but TWICE! Not only is there harassment, the place is a health hazard. This bar is unsafe, unsanitary, and flat-out disrespectful. Do yourself a favor and stay far away!! Between the dirty facilities and lack of hygiene, this place is not somewhere I’d recommend to ANYONE, don’t bring your children here either unless you want them eating cigarette butts off the ground or finding a random baggie on the ground from the residents who live upstairs or maybe even finding a mouse to befriend!!
If Grace & Harriet don’t like you, you can also experience their wickedness FOR FREE! I will never forget how these “people” treated me. Cant even call you people at this point what you do at this bar is UNHUMAN.
I hope more people speak up about your business here because you deserve it!
