Pen & Pencil Club

Got a membership here. I’ve come a few times but everyone is rude at the door. Maybe racist but definitely unprofessional. Each time they’ve acted like I was lying about my membership or try to make me jump through hoops just to get in or bring in guest. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this place.

Everyone here is so mean and nasty! It really killed all the vibes. I hope I never find myself in here again. 👎🏼

We were invited in by a member and it was a lively atmosphere. We were told that we were very privileged to get in. Well we had a good time.

Came here as a guest of a member. Bartender charged my card for drinks I personally didn't order. I politely asked him who ordered these drinks (keep in mind the room here is small and there was only about 10 people there). He told me he can take them off the card but will have to kick me out. I told him it was fine - I'll pay, I just wanted to know who got the drinks. Bartender then through a hissy fit and made a HUGE scene for something that wasn't really an issue in the first place. Made me and other standbys very uneasy, even when I was giving him a card to pay with, still he yelled to have me and my friend(member) kicked out instead of asking us to leave or answering my question. I tended bar for years and never saw such rude display of character to a harmless question. The guy obviously doesn't know how to tend bar, let alone tend to people or keep tabs.. Save your 40 bucks and dignity, go to another after hours bar. Theres much better ones in the city that aren't nearly as expensive and have an actually decent staff.

The poetry show was great, but the bartender that was hard of hearing is probably not the best person to put on that shift. He yelled at multiple people because he couldn't hear them & interrupted the poets.

Hell of a place, I come from a small town in Florida and we don't have many speak easies. I absolutely love this place

Rude door guy. Place is Not industry anymore. Apparently you have to be a member. Probably the reason there are only ever three people in there before 2am.

For a member only venue the bouncer has no information and is always pushing for a fight. This used to welcome restaurant industry people, but now only a member can bring you. You’ll end up chain smoking and drinking cheap beer, the show at the door is unnecessary.
