If I could leave zero stars, I would. We bought tickets well in advance for the “Men In Motion” event on Saturday. I had called on Wednesday and spoke to Patty just to double check. I asked her specifically if men were welcome to attend because I had two gay friends that wanted to come and I explained that we were coming from over 3 1/2 hours away. She said yes that everyone was welcome as long as they are over 21. I even specifically stated it says ladies night and I don’t want to waste our time and money, and she said that’s just what they call it, and they would never turn anyone away as long as they are of legal age to drink. “So definitely come on down, we can’t wait to see you!”.. Yeah. Right.

So we rented a car and headed down on Saturday ready to have a fun time. We aren’t wild, rude, weird looking or loud. When we got there, we were told before we even approached the door that we would not be allowed into the establishment. I explained that I had called ahead of time and spent four minutes talking to her on the phone where she assured me that it was fine, I showed them my call log and the call, so they went in and got Patty. She was very rude. Like an oh well, sorry now go away attitude. Apparently gay men are not allowed or welcome. I wish I would’ve been told this when I called in advance. That’s the point of calling in advance. Because we are out the car rental price as well as the gas, tolls and money that we spent. Our night was ruined because we had nothing else to do all the way down there. Our one friend is slightly mentally disabled and she was very upset being told no so rudely, while people watched, and worked herself up into an a panic so we had to take her home. So if you are mentally disabled, gay or a minority definitely don’t think you can go in to this establishment. They waste your time and money and are quite rude. You’ll be turned away.

***update: so Patty said it was the Men in Motion contract that it’s no men allowed. It’s NOT. She lied outright. It’s the bar. Apparently no gay men allowed. I know you guys read these so have the owner or supervisor reach out to me please. I want my money back and an apology.

11/7/24 GREAT! It’s been years since we came here and we will return soon. Samantha, bar attendant , was busy but took care of everyone. Beers were nice and cold snd the food was real good. Buffalo chicken cheesesteak, on a real good roll, was delicious as was the shrimp quesadilla. Had leftovers for tomorrow. ?

They allowed me to switch foods like if came with asparagus and I wanted carrots I could switch. Will definitely be back. I wanna try the mac n cheese I hear it's good.

This is a nice local spot. The bartenders are the best. Very friendly, attentive, and make you feel welcome. The food is bar food, and good. It's not really a late night food spot. It's a bit out of the way. It's not a place I'd recommend for tourists, just locals looking for a place to get away, and don't need all the frills.

Friends live down the street, stumbled onto this little local bar, decided to stop in and it was the best decision we ever made! It was burger night and we had a blast on a budget! The food was amazing and inexpensive, the drinks were all top notch, and the service was great! I'd consider driving out of my way to go here for a night out with friends... Highly recommend!
