Haven’t been there in yrs, went to the Sunday Open Jam. Love listening to live music! So many new people since I had been there, but still old familiar faces too!! So nice to see some of the past jammers still jamming along.

If there were 0 stars option I would have chosen that. After the rodeo at the fairgrounds we went there to play some pool and the owner came up to me and told me I need to leave before I could finish my beer for no reason. Guess he doesn’t like cowboys. To bad for him I’ll spend my money elsewhere. Not a friendly environment.

If there was less than 1 star I would have rated it just that. For starters, there was 1 bartender on a Friday night which would have been okay since it really wasn’t all that crowded. However, we waited at least 15 minutes for a drink each for the 2 drinks we had at this bar when there was maybe a handful of people even at the actual bar area. The people were super unfriendly. Quite a few bitter older women who made comments to the younger ladies there that were pure hateful and were looking to start a fight. It made sense of why there were not one but two security guards there as clearly it’s prone to fights as one security guard actually told me… When my friend who is 29 years old and had been to this bar on numerous occasions ordered the second drink she was asked by one of the security guards for her drivers license and escorted to outside the back of the bar. The security guard did not mention to us why we were being escorted out. When we got out there I asked if there was a problem and the security guard explained that the bartender said it was a fake ID and he needed to verify whether it was indeed a valid ID. They checked it out and obviously realized there was nothing wrong with us and let us go back inside. We were two ladies in our upper 20s just trying to have a couple drinks and enjoy the company of others. THIS IS NOT A WELCOMING CROWD….I don’t recommend you going to this bar for any kind of socialization as they are all in there own groups and are completely rude. So if you’re looking to enjoy a nice night out just enjoying life (as you should be) try some where else. I’ve never left a bar feeling so awful in my life! 0 stars here…
