  This isn't a place for germaphobes but a great place for karaoke. The "karaoke machine" is a computer, some microphones and other equipment I can't identify but the computer means you can search for any song with lyrics without having to depend on a catalog of songs like at traditional karaoke bars. They serve food but also serve mixed drinks in empty soup cans on occasion. I've never been hungry or intoxicated enough to order food so I can't comment on it but I wouldn't risk it.  Also, if you plan to spend even a few minutes outside, bring bug spray. The mosquitos are savages.
  
  The Thursday night musicians are hella rude so if you're planning on an evening of uninterrupted karaoke, save it for another night. A word of advice to the owner; when a company offers to rent out the place for a night of karaoke, let them. We were told Thursday night wouldn't be busy and there was no mention of us being kicked off the stage to accommodate musicians who were paying literal pennies for their drinks. You could have made bank from a few coworkers wanting nothing more after a long work day than to blow off steam, buy some drinks and sing some songs. Just saying...

  This place is just dirty. We planned to dine here, but walked out 5 min later.  Still have a Local Flavor certificate which we purchased, so that was a waste of money.  There is no chance I'll visit again.

  This is a weird, funky little bar.
  The space is dark and filled with wacky decor.
  The bartender/owner is friendly.
  The drinks are decent.
  The outside space is also nutty, but a nice bonus.
  Fun place to go drink, but definitely in the dive category, in the best way.

  This place is disgusting. It's sitting on an old industrial dry cleaner. I have no idea how it passed health code. There is trash piled up and they call it art.
  
  This place will be a parking lot in under a year.
  
  The owner stiffs the few musicians that have played.
  
  Stay far away.

  I like Caleb.  Really, I do.  But, this "bar" is an embarrassment.
  
  I've been here half a dozen times, and conversations with the owner, Caleb, have been the highlight to an otherwise terrible experience.  The service and the selection are abysmal.  The second to last time I was here, the bathrooms were completely flooded.  1+ inch of standing water with floating filth to wade through.  Revolting.  
  
  Their beer selection is uninteresting.  I think Saw Works is the only local.  I can't speak to the mixed drinks because I've neither ordered one nor seen one ordered.  
  
  The last time I was here was a couple weeks ago.  We were the only patrons.  We sat at the bar and waited.  And waited.  And waited.  No bartender in sight.  The owner sat reading in a corner.  We waited some more and decided to leave.  From start to finish, about 15 to 20 minutes.  As we walked past the owner, he said, "Has she not come up to wait on you guys?"  "No" we replied.  "Well, the band's gonna be on soon." he countered.  Uhm...okay?  We don't care.  We came to a bar to get drinks, and no one can be bothered to serve us or even acknowledge we exist.  This is 9:45pm on a Friday.  
  
  I'd like to say this lack of attention was an isolated event, but I've experienced this each time I come here.  I arrive at peak hours only to be greeted by an empty bar that offers no service and dirty surroundings.  If you are lucky enough to be served, you get the distinct feeling your presence is a nuisance.  
  
  In closing, be prepared to wait 5-10 minutes between drinks while the bartenders ignore you from spitting distance.  Be prepared for your bartender to be annoyed with having to converse with you.  Be prepared for bland and overpriced beer.
  
  This was my last date with you, Marley.  We're over.
