Rude to Customers. My wife and I, from San Diego, stopped in to have a drink and listen to some live music as part of our 25th anniversary. We arrived 2 hours early to get some bar seats close to the band. The bar tenders were all made aware of our intentions. Ten minutes after the band started with food and drink still on the bar, we were rudely removed from our seats. After speaking to the manager to plead our case, he threatened to call the police and throw us out. We’re both urban professionals and we were very polite, but this is the attitude they took towards us. We closed our bill for over $70 and went to much better bar not more than 10 yards away. This place gives Boston a bad name and should be closed down.

Staff gives rudeness a bad name. Not a bad place but the staff is REALLY RUDE. This is NOT a good service for $8 beers. I mean where did they get those characters. Bartender (Heather?), one of the security fellas (Michael), the manager (Jeff?) will probably score the top 3 of "the rudest staff in Boston" competition. My advice is to check this place out but not after 6PM - otherwise you may be in for quite an unpleasant experience. DO NOT GO THERE WITH A DATE, at all.

Best Karaoke Tuesdays!. Drinks are always on point! Usually a decent amount of people who love to come out on Tuesdays and hang out at this great bar to hear people belt out some tunes! Not your average Karaoke bar where the older drunk people love to go sing...you have a young fresh crowd who definitely love to have a good time. The DJ is awesome always giving everyone a fair chance to show off on stage. Great on weekends too! LOVE THIS PLACE!
