Sean KeenMarch 16, 2013If you get the chance to go upstairs during a show, keep in mind that the acoustics are best in front of the stage. The view is great upstairs, but the sound is muffled.
Lauren MacJuly 28, 2015Fun if you like loud music and dancing! Check out the Shot Bar at the back, if you can squeeze your way through
Karen FewellMarch 17, 2013Where else do you see a guitar off in the street? Visited here during #sxsw - brilliant live music, drinks reasonable price, will go back.
- Colleen CarpenterJuly 16, 2015Great live music and open atmosphere! Definitely going again next time we are in the area
Michael OvalleJuly 4, 2014I ordered 5 "Bat Shots" and the bartender didn't even fill all of the shot glasses equally. I had to tell him to add more to the last shot. Forget this bar... But good music though.
Inexpensive bottle service, cool VIP area great music and drink specials all in all a sweet place to party.... They have "bat shots" that are $2!!
Eddy VelazquezNovember 29, 2014Bar was quiet. Went to use the restroom and when I came out it was a full blown night club. I was very confused.- Bean PowerMay 26, 2013Adam Rodgers and Chris the cello player are spectacular. They should have played all night long!
LisaJanuary 6, 2013Used to love the bat bar. Then they traded in badass GOGO DANCERS for one slutty girl in a short skirt with her ass hanging out. Bring the talent back!!
Philly CoryJuly 22, 2011Bar that's more like a small club. No covers. Dance floor by the DJ. Good music. Doesn't get going until around 11:30 - midnight
Jeremiah JimenezOctober 19, 2011This is the most awesome place to go to. go upstairs and chill. where sleeves.- Jeremiah JimenezSeptember 22, 2011the DJ is the best. there are dancers there too. and they rock. drink shots.
Sarah BrindleyAugust 25, 2013Adam Rodgers and Chris Rains play every Friday and Saturday from 7-10pm - love these guys!!
Darrin W.March 11, 2013The place is loud and be careful about the bartenders there. Twice i ordered one drink and they tried to switch well drinks and became nasty when u called them out at it. Go somewhere else!!!
Wahyu Catur SurantoMarch 29, 2011Christopher Mansfield sings with breathy earnestness and hints of sculpted rock ’n’roll . Like This :D
Loralynn WilburSeptember 21, 2011A good place for a cold beer after riding the bull at the trophy club
Carrie LouiseOctober 12, 2013Only following portable toilets, this establishment ranks second in "places I would not wear a maxi hemline." Floors are nasty.
the bathroom is NOT in the back. it's near the staircase.
