Sandy Hut

Amazing Dive bar. Great location. Cheap drinks, good snacks. Good music playing. Locals are there getting loose. Amazing decor. I am obsessed with the painting but Al Hirchfeld on the wall. Its an original!

Seems like it gets lots of business so of course the bartender's are too cool. Busy talking about side work or bar gossip or just general complaining before they look up and smile, "what can I getcha?". Who cares though. It's spacious. The crowd was mixed ages. Despite the 'grandmas house' vibe, it has a lot to offer. This would be good for a group but also good for an individual who likes sitting at long bars and talking to strangers.

Awesome staff! Try everything on the menu! Prime rib night is Wednesday $26- worth it! ALSO good happy hour (and brunch is apparently Sat & Sun 11:30 - 3:00 PM, but I haven't tried that yet.)

Stopped in for a refreshing drink as we were in the area. Not a lot of places were open on Fourth of July, but Sandy Hut was. Cute little bar with small outdoor seating area. It’s dark inside with minimal lighting. We ordered at the bar and took our drinks outside since it was a sunny day. We each ordered a green tea shot. Which was way more tart than we’ve ever had at any other place. Went back to try their coconut mezcalita but they didn’t have coconut, so I asked if they could make a spicy margarita and he said no. We ended up closing the tab after the green tea shot and went to a different bar. The bartender was nice. It’s a nice spot for a sunny day so we will probably be back since summer is here.

The sandy hit is definitely a staple in the area. Been around since I can't remember. The atmosphere is buzzing on the weekends. It has pool tables and lottery. Karaoke on the weekends I think. The security are always friendly and willing to give you a laugh when you enter, and a laugh when you leave. Nice group of guys. It's pretty busy there, but the bar tenders are on their game for sure. I highly recommend it. Haven't eaten there so can't really comment on the food. They also have two outside areas that you can take and enjoy your drinks or food at. You should check it out.

In anticipation of a 100th Anniversary event, we dropped in for a preview on a day that would be less busy. WOW! Delicious, hearty food in great portions, and solid drinks. For our specific visit, compliments to the brunch chef (Aimee) and our bartender (Jordan).

This is a really cool hole-in-the-wall bar. It's got a 70s kinda vibe. I normally just go in for a drink but decided to try some food. It's cheap and good. Large servings. I had the sausage fried rice.

If you were in bar. Security guy checked your ID immediately and he puts the stamp on your wrist. When you got a stamp on your wrist they didn’t check your ID anymore that night. music sounds so loud. Very crowded place because they opened the bar at late night. Only few places opened at midnight. This place is a very popular. Beers were cold enough and fresh. Order some foods are difficult and tough because bar staffs were so busy and crowded. They seemed like a super busy.

It's a shitty dive bar but I mean that as a compliment and I had a wonderful time and a yummmy pretzel

Old school dive bar to wet your whistle. Belly up to the bar or go play pool. The dive bar charm is still very much alive here, just how us dive bar connoisseurs like it. Creaky stools, stiff drinks, grumpy counter neighbors (and nice neighbors too!) Prices have caught up a bit here so the day of the cheap beer is gone but a cheap beer is a rarity now unless you like sitting at home. Which I don't, so cheers! Drink up!

I only come here for the events they put on... But if they don't start following city rules for community events, they'll soon be denied permits to do so. Whoever is in charge of their IG page doesn't like it when a woman informs them how they're violating rules with their events... They act like they own the streets and discriminate against the general public on who can attend. Very disappointing. If the management is looking for someone to run their events, let me know ... They clearly need someone more competent

Horrible service. My friend and I came in to play pool one night and we waited about 10 minutes to get drinks. It wasn't busy but the bartender decided to ask all the regulars if they needed a drink and do a bunch of dishes and other stuff before serving my friend and I. I still left them a tip but they added more to it before charging me, which is illegal. It was only a couple bucks so I didn't report it, but still, it's obviously a very poorly run place.

Reminds me of some of my favorite bars I've patronized over the years. Dark and cool inside but not too dark.

One of the oldest places in Portland, this is a pretty standard dive bar though they sometimes have a DJ. Not much to say, it's okay overall.

This was my favorite and best little dive bar we were able to visit while in PDX after seeing a sold-out show out at the Pioneer Square. We showed up around 11pm and it was bumping with so many patrons and folks drinking and eating the night away. I was surprised to see how large this spot was after and also how cool and retro feeling The Sandy Hut made us feel right as we walked in. We had a really easy time, despite the late-night crowd, ordering our drinks at the bar as well as food. I was happy to see they had tallboy beers so I opted for a tried-and-true Lonestar tallboy (Hey! I am from Texas!) and a shot of wells whiskey. My guy ended up having a nice Old-Fashion which was deliciously made and tasty! Due to the crowd we sat outside on the small benches right off of the street side. It was such a nice night to not be outside so we were happy out there. DJ was spinning some classic tunes and people were really enjoying their time at the pool tables, conversations with one another, and some were dancing. It was a really great vibe altogether. This place is a true gem! Never change The Shady Hut! I love you exactly as you are!

My friends and I came here for the first time last night, and we enjoyed the atmosphere and drinks. We liked the dive bar feel and played some pool! Only thing we did not appreciate was one of the bartenders with a buzz cut was just a jerk ): we had only one round of drinks at that point, so it's not like we were being drunk idiots. Probably had the worst personality of a bartender we've ever met! I'll still come back but someone needs to give that dude a hug

Whoever the bartender was that opened Friday afternoon 7/12/24 after their kitchen fire was so stuck up and rude from the second they opened. I totally understand it's been a rough morning but there is no reason to take it out on customers that have nothing to do with it. I haven't even received this type of service here so I was super taken back. I frequent this spot multiple times a week and hardly ever have any issues. I was super sad and honestly made me not want to return.

Pre-Pandemic, I was coming to Sandy Hut, regularly, I went again a couple days ago during the snow storm 2023--- I always get the skinny burger. If you are looking for cheap (filling) eats, 10/10 highly recommend. the staff was super friendly, always. to drink, I had an IPA--- perfect combo with a burger. cheers queers.

Great service. Food was delicious, but a little small and basic for what you pay for.

How do you even review a place like this. The bartender was not even interested in being friendly or polite. She didn't insult my mom or anything, but all she did was ask what we wanted, made it, and literally put them on the counter and walked off without saying anything. The drink was fine. The decor is...retro. It worked as a stop-off for a drink on our walk to another spot.

First time here last weekend and wow love me a good retro looking dive bar. Driving down Sandy I always saw a crowd outside and I can see why after this first visit. Friday night here was a crowd and was surprised that they even had a DJ! It was a unique experience to see the retro ambiance, DJ/makeshift dance floor in the middle of the place, and a pool table on the side. Come early because both the inside and outdoor tables get packed! Drinks are standard and a mix of what's on tap, cider, and even jello shots. Say whaaat!? Also they also have pretty solid burgers! Never expected this place to serve food but their burgers have a nice crisp and char on the patty and the bun holds up well. Nice thin and crispy fries to pair with their side sauce. Make it a nice for food, drinks, and games. Great Portland bar to check out as a local or if you're visiting!

Came here for the good reviews and it is across the street from voodoo doughnuts. I was very impressed. Its a typical dive bar inside and out but the food and prices were unbeatable. I got eggs, hash browns, toast AND a mimosa for just over $10. All had great flavor. You can tell it's popular as there are many regulars. They have good space inside for eating and a decent bar size. There is also some off street parking which is impressive. If I ever make it back to Portland I would definitely come back.

If you can't handle banter, that's your problem. The bartender is funny and kind. Had breakfast and drinks and it was a glorious time.

This place has the rudest bartenders I've ever encountered. Older lady with long hair seems to not be able to handle being busy and will take it out on customers. Came here to pick up my debit card I had forgotten and she literally snatched my ID from my hand and told me it's not convenient that I come when it's busy? Not sure if she's racist or not because after reading other reviews, she seems to be hostile towards latinos. I feel like writing a review for this place is going to fall on deaf ears because there is obviously nothing being done about the behavior.

I've been here several times since my original review... It just keeps getting worse. Bartenders act like they have100 people in line when there are 2. Everything is rushed and customer service (or manners) don't exist. They also play their own "ironic" hipster music and get ANGRY when you PAY for songs on the jukebox and then skip them. Like why even have a jukebox if you aren't hip enough to use it? The food menu also changed and it's more expensive with less options. I won't avoid the place, I just won't seek it out.

RUDE bartenders. We brought our friend here for his birthday (party of 8) we each ordered drinks and during second round they began to cut us off. Not taking account that we are 8 people drinking. Also was told I "don't know how seasons work" when I asked if they can make a mojito. Never coming here again. Unfriendly, unprofessional bartenders. Don't waste your money here.

come here if you feel like being verbally abused by the female bartender with tats and long brown hair. Literally our first time ever coming and we ordered dinner (spent over $100 on drinks and food,) my brother politely asked her for ketchup and she literally yelled "i'm not a f*cking server, get it your f*cking self" and then stormed off. As a bartender myself, i know it may be hard for her little pea brain to believe but it is in fact part of your JOB. But also how hard would it have been to say there's a self serve section for water and condiments? lmao The bar was literally packed and we were unable to see the self serve area until after a different bartender brought what we had asked for & let us know.

One of Portland's great dives, Belly up to the bar for some stiff drinks and great bar food to observe a cross-section of Portland at its finest.

Be careful what you wish for. I insisted on going here as they hit their hundred-year anniversary. Both attempts were epic fails. Our first attempt we went for breakfast only to find out that their online hours were incorrect, as they opened an hour later than listed. We brushed this off as a post covid normality and redirected our efforts for that day. Determined to regroup we showed up for Sunday lunch a few weeks later. In a party of 5 I was the last to order only to not have my food show up. I went up to the bar to get another drink. On seeing me the bartender told me my food was coming out, this was after all my friends were served and at that point done eating. It had been over an hour wait from when I ordered my food. I told the bartender that at this point I didn't want my food but another drink. She informed that the food was coming out right now as the cook had a plate in hand and was looking for the table. I said fine, got my drink and headed back to my table. The plate was delivered. It was not what I ordered. The manager then came over and asked me if I was a vegetarian, I said I was not, but he informed the sandwich had meat in it and he took it away. Neither manager nor bartender offered an alternative or a discount on my drink bill. After a hundred years of being there they must still be dialing it in. I suggest the public wait another hundred years before being exposed to this buffoonery.

Okay I love dive bars. It's just my thing. I'd rather drink in a dingy, low lit place that's a little grungy than some fancy place any day. This place does not disappoint! I really enjoyed the atmosphere even as a tourist I felt like I belonged. The bartenders are kind of jerks though. Which is what it is, I suppose. Maybe it's part of the charm. I could've went for a bit more friendliness but at the same time the overall feel of the bar made up for it!

Nothing to write home about. Am a little sour that our second round of drinks took legitimately 30mins to order...

I don't see how this place even has 3 stars. I'm guilty of only writing bad reviews, but I only write them when a place deserves it. And boy does this place deserve it. This place is shit. Literally DO NOT come here. I don't see how they managed to collect the worst/angriest most inattentive staff in the same place. I felt like I was gonna get kicked out for even ordering.this space would be better if it were bulldozed over and all the staff died.

As a gay Latino I do not feel safe coming here at all and I wanna warn anyone to not go here. I was already outside sitting on the bench, yes intoxicated, and asked to leave. Then when asked why they couldn't really give me an answer just saying that it's their right to kick people out. I was then attacked, and taken down by the bartenders/security. I ended up taking the ambulance to the hospital for all the scrapes and damages to both my face and body from being thrown around and also ended with my prescription glasses being broken. as someone who is in a vulnerable position rather than having staff act with empathy and support. I was handled as nuance, dehumanized. This included physical and emotional abuse from staff who should have been trained to de-escalate and consider people safety above anything else.I feel like I was targeted more and beaten for being a gay Latino and not "fitting in" to their target population.

I wanted to write a review for the country music/country DJ's that play Sundays! I believe it's called Country Co-Op and it is a blast. Regardless of how you feel about country, I'd recommend it to anyone. The bar also serves some great drinks with an awesome vibe. If you can make it out on a Sunday night, go honky tonk down to Sandy Hut for some country music and fun!

Don't get fooled by the goldfish on the Mac. Best part of the Mac was the goldfish. Tastes like cum with goldfish sprinkles. I need therapy.

Well, I have been coming off and on for 6 or so years. Was great about four years ago. Have been coming less as the staff seems to be increasingly stressed out or nonchalant. I enjoy bars. I enjoy going out to them as sometimes as an autistic individual it's hard for me to find places where I can just... unwind and be weird. This used to be a place like that. So assuming that it would just be a normal dead bar after Christmas, I went today. I was going to meet a group of friends - three of them. I was to arrive beforehand and secure a table. It wasn't even 4:30pm yet. I get there, and the typical pre-night time scene abounds. A couple playing pool, individuals sipping drinks at the bar. A couple of groups. Perfect! I saunter to the drink ordering side of the bar, intent on placing an order for food - oops, no menu. I glance and the kitchen is indeed inhabited. I wander to an open partition of the bar where a slimy menu was slapped down. Ok, typical disorganized Sandy hut. Kind of weird how much grease was on the menu.. whatever - still optimistic! I decide on the grilled cheese and tomato soup - always a staple here. I place my wallet down and take out my card and look at the bartender. He looks at me, then picks up his phone and checks his notifications. Then he slowly starts polishing a glass and continues his talking with his friends opposite of him. That's okay! Wonderful that his buddies are visiting him! I wait. He checks his phone again. His friends continue talking and lapse into silence. One friends looks at me, as I expectantly holding my card and wallet. "Sup dude?" The friend says. I smile and look at the bartender. The bartender does nothing. I stand there, waiting. The bartender says nothing. Continues to stare at his phone then goes back to talking to his friends. Well, okay. I leave to another venue.

The perfect little dive doing everything in their power to NOT offer anything Irish on 3/17. Loving that vibe. The bartenders are just snarky enough for my liking.

One of the last remaining dive bars in the central core of east side. I will admit that I was very worried when it was purchased by the new owners a few years ago. However, that transformation was mostly for the better. They significantly improved the food without taking away any of the dingy charm that made that gave the Sandy Hut its nicknames. They were able to add a significant amount of outdoor seating to accommodate the new realty that we are in. In fact, I think they could add even more given the low utilization of the side streets that the bar sits on. They could definitely build into the parking lots to set up more tables. We're going to need somewhere to safety drink during this winter. I haven't had their brunch since the pandemic started, but before, it was a well kept secret. The food was delicious, the service was quick, and unlike everywhere else in this city, THERE WAS NEVER A LINE.

The old Portland is almost all but gone. However, some of its old haunts still stand. Sandy is an institution, a place to drink some pretty stiff drinks, play some tabletops if you snag a spot, listen to some loud music, and PRIME RIB WEDNESDAYS (cut of meat is huge and delicious)!!!!! They have a pretty decent hangover brunch too! Never thought I would say that about the hut. The bartenders, the atmosphere (I do miss the old ceiling and the punk crowd),and the people are what makes the place. Stop by, have a bite, have a drink, tip well, be a nice human, and you sooner or later you will become a regular.

Rude people at every turn decent food mean strangers used to recommend but not after most recent experience

GOD TIER ESTABLISHMENT!!! never had a bad time here. this place is so swag... strong drinks good vibes xoxoxoxox

If you love a divey bar with good food, zero pretensions, and genuine, friendly service, Sandy Hut is where it's at! The Skinny Man burger is my favorite burger in town and though it isn't anything fancy, the outdoor picnic table seating outside is the perfect place for an afternoon beer in the sunshine. Thanks for being a breath of fresh air Sandy Hut! I always enjoy my visits!

The Sandy Hut. Located way off of like 14th and Sandy in Portland, on the east side of river. We went on a Friday night, and oh boy it was packed. They have a lot of seating and we were able to find a table. Kind of a small food menu, They have bombbb cheeseburgers - MUST TRY! Pretty fun environment - dark, loud; good place to hang out and meet some friends. Bartenders are great.

not a bad place. very funky and I do mean 'funk' - as in, like, Rick James after a long, live set at the Memorial Aud in Buffalo. my lunch date thought it smelled like someone's basement. she said it in a condescending manner but for me, many special things happened in someone's basement, so I didn't mind the smell. after much internal dialogue, I thought I could detect a little wet leather, the toasted scent of Camel cigarette, maybe a single shake of Old Spice and a whiff of Charlie. She thought the pole in the middle of the east end was a former stripper pole but I assured her it was the wrong diameter and incorrect material. (actually I didn't tell her that, I advised her it appears to be a structural support of some sort.) it's dark inside, even in the daytime, so if you are bringing your Dostoyevsky, the down-and-out vibe of the place may match your Winter in Khabarovsk mood but the lighting may not allow you to make out the words. bring a headlamp and order vodka. first off I asked for a menu and we were directed to the chalkboard. (see photos, sorry, one pic is out of focus) friday was allegedly happy hour 2-7 so I don't know if Happy Hour has been discontinued or what. it was not presented as an option. so don't assume there's a happy hour. second - I check out reviews and menus online, and I'm always disappointed when these online menus don't mesh well with reality. online, you will clearly see a varied and interesting menu which includes fried ursters ('oysters' for you west coasters) and promising entrees like fish and chips, short ribs, skewers and summer squash ravioli. please don't get your hopes up. I don't know why they aren't on the menu - 'lettuce' assume some ingredients are out-of-season or covid unavailable or because of cost-cutbacks or supply chain or whatever. you will NOT find these items, at least when I strode in late January. You WILL find good solid pub fare: appetizers and entrees including some promising items like chicken sandwiches, grilled cheese (can add bacon, tomato or jalapeno) and mac-n-cheese. (I'm not saying mgmt has control over all these Crab Louis-listing online menus but certainly they could at least tailor the Yelp menu to reflect most commonly available items.) feel free to look at my chalkboard photos (Jan2022) but I assume the menu will vary grately. yes that was a cheese joke there. was the food good? all I can say is the Skinny Man cheeseburger was awesome and the fries were great, esp since they were not salted to death. (ring any bells, Five Guys?) the chef really knows what she is doing. the patty was cooked to perfection, the burger was carefully assembled and you carnivores will not regret that first huge bite as long as you remove that giant wooden stake before you indulge. it's quite possible that this whole review is moot if the average person simply comes into Sandy Hut to get slapped with a powerful Mai Tai, and chases it with trio of Miller High Life brews. It's the Champagne of Beers. Party on, Wayne. what's Fred Flintstone doing in a place like this? check out my photo and if you bring quarters, you can come in and find out what he's up to. and you will enjoy the music, it was pretty spectacular. Lou Reed, Ramones, Bowie, no runs, no drips, no errors. Somebody knows their tuneage. Cheers! DZ

I love the big hairy bartender. He has so much knowledge of cocktails it's insane. Big hairy bartender should definitely be promoted.

They will skip your songs on the juke if they don't like it. That happens. But...I hope you play what they want. Because this is their place. No decedent. Fall in line. No jazz or other music. If I play rock they're sometimes fine with it. But do what you want Portland. You're diverse? Right? Have fun kids.

I love the look of the place. It has so much potential, which is why it kills me to write a less than good review. It's a dive bar with cocktail bar prices. The food I've ordered there for the price was not worth it. I can accept paying cheap prices for shitty food. Bartenders (some, maybe not all are like this)... The egos have gotta go. Christ, it's a dive bar. Get over yourselves. Go be hipster snobs at one of the many breweries or hip clubs downtown on the westside. You are selling Rainers haha. The drink prices are about average for the neighborhood. You would think by the egos that you were going to be getting a mixologist from San Francisco and a $14 cocktail placed in front of you. If that were the case, I might accept the egos. I want to love this place. It's close. It's convenient. It looks groovy. Please, be the dive bar you were meant to be. Thank you. For people looking for a good dive bar in this neighborhood, check out the Standard. Hopefully, I can update this review someday and give more stars and am awesome review.

My experience today was subpar. The cherry on top was having the songs I selected on the jukebox turned off simply because the bartender at the time (Jordan) didn't care for my music. $40 for 2 beers, 2 shots, and a grilled cheese is a little steep for the kind of place this is. Experience is definitely dependent on who is working at the time.

We didn't eat, but this was a great bar with pin ball tables in a space that looks like a scene outta CASINO, or even Saturday Night Fever, not goofy Portland. Excellent Bloody's in snifters, garnishes were good, not obnoxious. They have Stumptown coffee too, shocker. There's a pool table there too, they were playing the Bee Gees and other disco while we were there and it was perfect.

To be fair, I give it a 2 star 'Meh' because hey... it really ain't all that yo. I'll explain: The atmosphere is dive, but has been remodeled. Yes? From what you ask? Was it like a porta-poddy in an abandoned homeless camp before this? Because it ain't all that great now. Drinks are cheap (easy on the wallet), food is about going rate priced, but if you're a foodie you're not going to be climbing over the hipster zombies at the food trucks to get back to Sandy Hut. Let's face it, the food isn't all that, despite what 500 drunk reviewers have posted. Maybe they were used to microwaved Top Ramen? A steak here or a burger isn't going to make you want to kiss the chef. A salad or whatever is going to be standard / decent. Think somewhat upgraded Burger King meets Dennys. It will make you full, but 4 Stars? Definitely No. Unless you've hit up a Dispensary before coming here and the line at Voodoo Doughnut was too long. The waitstaff was cool, yeah, but hey if you're workin' tips baby, that's just part of the gig. A lot of Portland bars just haven't figured that out yet! There's a lot of 'New York residual attitude' being slung from many bar staffers around Rip City, so hopefully they'll figure out that kindness = $$. Aside from this being Portland, bar staff here was attentive, generally positive, just average good but not spectacularly mentionable. I didn't feel like I was being treated like Obama visiting in Portland or a kid sitting on Santa Claus' lap or anything. Come for the drinks and the entertainment, the exceptional food is elsewhere.

Kate is amazing. Always acknowledges us and has a smile on her face during busy brunch service. I'm happy there's a great brunch option out there in a sea of garbage!

The Sandy Hut is not what it once was. It once had great brunch, interesting old characters, a nice mix of punks and hipsters. The music was good and the bartenders friendly. No more. It has slowly changed into what feels like a frat party. Obnoxious and blazingly drunk college guys and their midwestern girlfriends. They appear to have just moved here and reside in the mega warehouse apartments that now surround the neighborhood. Aside from that sad reality...the staff has changed too. Last Friday night (Feb. 18th), my friend and I stopped in for a drink and it was a freaking circus with all tables filled inside and outside. We found a corner to sit and I stood in line for our drinks. On a busy Friday night, they had one...yes one woman bartender working. I got in line anyway and hoped for the best. We all waited patiently and it took a full 30 minutes to get up to the bar. I almost gave up twice thinking this is insane, but decided I'd already stood in line so long I would just see it through. I finally get up to the bar, I'm standing face to face with the bartender about to order and she leans over and asks the tall guy behind me what he'll have. I blink in disbelief. Pretty damn stunned. As she gets his drinks, I turned to him and said "why did she help you before me"? I'm standing right here in front of you. Why didn't you tell her she should take my order first? He just shrugged. When she came back with his drink's I asked her "why did you take his order first and not mine"? She purposefully disregarded me. She said because she's seen him standing in line for 30 minutes and I said "yes, and I've been standing in line in front of him for 35 minutes". She then said she's the only bartender having to deal with this line and if I didn't like it I could go drink somewhere else. The exchange made me feel so horrible and hurt and angry at the same time. I had been standing there the whole time having empathy for her situation and to be treated like I didn't matter after waiting so long...I was confused and in disbelief. Then I got mad. I wasn't going anywhere and stood my ground until she finally decided to serve me. I took my drinks, left no tip, went back and told my friend about the exchange. He had waited so long for me to return he was getting concerned. As much as I feel sorry for her plight...that is the worst bartender interaction I've ever had...ever! No longer are there great bartenders at this place. On the obvious note...if a bar owner can't schedule more than one bartender on a busy Friday night, then he should close down until he can staff up fully, but money grubbing owners don't care. They will work their staff into the ground to keep the money flowing in. And on another obvious note...if it was me, and I showed up for my shift on a Friday night and was told "hey you're the only bartender tonight", I'd walk! You can't allow yourself to be abused that way and there are many other bars in town that will hire you now. I will never go back to Sandy Hut. I've loved it for all of my 15 years in Portland but the good old days are gone and it's a shadow of what it once was. Maybe it's time to shutter the place until someone can properly run it, or maybe it will meet the fate of the Tonic Lounge...a place I dearly miss. To that woman bartender, I'll never forget how you made me feel. Maybe you hate other women or something. Maybe you thought the tall guy was cute so you gave preference to him. Not sure what your problem was. I had a terribly stressful week at work myself and just wanted a drink on a Friday night but I will never spend money at the Sandy Hut again thanks to you.

I've heard nothing but good things about this classic Portland dive bar from all of my clients who live in the area. It did not disappoint! My fiance and I recently moved about two blocks away (from this and other central bars we're trying to explore) but this is top of the favorites list. We've gone multiple times now and gotten really strong (in a good way) drinks every time; I've now tried a couple things on the menu which have been pretty good (I love the fries), and the bartenders are pretty quick considering how busy the place can get. And, best of all, they're pretty cheap!

Fried chicken sandwich was way over done. Bartender and person who ran the food was rude if you ask for two flavor of wings. Also, you'll get a snide attitude if you ask for both bleu cheese and ranch. Chili verde wings were disgusting.

Bartender was kind of an ass, overall was a great little dive bar though. And please repair the slushy machine:(

Usually this place is good but I just had a pretty crappy experience with the bartender. I had been there for while, ordered some beers, went up and ordered some food and forgot my order number but went right back up and got it. After my friend left, I went back up to the bar to order another beer. I stood there almost 10 minutes while the bartender helped pretty much everyone else at the bar but ignored me. She was standing right in front of me making drinks but never once asked if I needed anything. I finally gave up and sat back down. A girl went up and stood exactly where I was standing and got service in under a minute. I went up about 5 min later to close my tab, got ignored for another 2 minutes and finally cashed out. I don't think there was anything I did to warrant this. I'm very attentive to servers the majority of the time and tip well always but this was just aggravating.

Never in my life have I received such rude service. A few of us were drinking our drink a few feet back from the bar while we were waiting to get up the line to get served and we were YELLED at by the bartenders "All right get the fuck out of here you have to have your fucking mask on we're not putting up with your shit." For reference, we had not been talked to a single to about it and we are all liberal, vaccinated people that have no problem wearing our masks. I then said - "you don't need to be so rude about it" - and the bartender snatched the drinks out of our hands and spilled part of my friends drink on her. I have never been treated like this at a bar before and especially so unprovoked. If he had just said "hey guys make sure you keep your mask on by the bar" we would have all apologized and complied. Just because your serving during the pandemic doesn't give you the right to give such horrible service.
