The Bar

Great little place. Wasn't expecting much but had fun. Bartender was great and was super attentive

This is a dive bar with friendly staff and the bartender will hook you up if she's in the right mood. My bf wanted a few beers tonight but we didn't want to stray too far from home. There is ample parking and once inside you will see pool tables, electric darts, and a juke box. Patio is a good size too. They also have karaoke here, tonight they didn't sadly and I cannot remember which day in the week they have it, definitely call and ask if interested. The last time we came it was so entertaining lol The crowd is diverse which I like, you will see people of all ages and backgrounds and most people that come through are really friendly, it is easy to make friends here! Also, there is a tall gentleman that usually mans the bar I wish I remembered his name but he's very accommodating, he will walk around the entire bar and make sure to ask everyone if they're doing ok or if they need anything, the hospitable gesture is much appreciated. So since I live in the vicinity I do have a few dive bars to choose from and if I had to choose. I would definitely pick THE BAR there is a much better vibe here.

I do not recommend the bar because management cannot recognize a good hardworking honest worker that was recently terminated due to no fault of their own. What a shame to not have the brain power wasted on not valuing a diamond in the rough being a asset to an industry not worthy of supporting true character in a not real environment. Do not support this location or management for any type of profit.

I previously patronized The Bar at 4542 North 1st Street because my favorite professional bartender was employed there. My favorite bartender remembers my usual drink and the way I like it mixed. She always calls me by name, so she's more personal and friendly. She provides the highest standard of customer service and I never have to wait to be served. The Bar is very clean when she's on duty too. Her personality and demeanor are always upbeat which seems to be a positive influence and transforms my depressed moods to a more cheerful state of mind. However, I was very disappointed when she was recently laid off. Therefore, I can't recommend The Bar to potential customers, and I will follow my favorite professional bartender wherever she's employed.

Do not come to this place on a Thursday, it's karaoke and the karaoke guy only play two people's songs. He thinks he's Moby but clearly is not. Idiota. He wants to suck off everyone's music he playsJust don't come here on a Thursday

My wife and I were in today, we had 5 cocktails, price was around 44.50 including tip, we were in before and nowhere close to this price starting around 4pm, don't know if the bartender Norma lost track or was trying to make her own tip, we won't be back as no way 5 cocktails should be almost 45 dollars

Was here a few days ago, The roaches I guess was having a shot with me. They was literally at the bar with me. Siiickkkkkkk

Terrible service. Watered down drinks pretty sure the manger was doing cocaine inbetween drink orders while I was there the cops showed up and it was just a mess I do not recommend this place so many other respectable places to get a drink plus my cup was extremely dirty and I could smell the black mold in the building this is not the place to go for any reason plus the service was terrible everyone was rude just don't waste your time or money here try and get them on the phone you'll see for yourself pathetic

I had my iPhone completely by a security guard Donavan , than kicked me out while my first n only drink waited for me inside for wanting answers and compensation. They 86d me for a day till I told them exactly what happened they checked the computers seen everything that transpired and said they'd get back to me and never did. Things were fine for a few weeks I'd come back pretend like nothing happened, and have been targeted by staff both security and a bartender named John. From giving security false information to find a way to kick me out, to blatantly not serving me a drink even when me and a handful of other people were even tryna pay for me. The last time I came back I rolled a blunt was gonna smoke in the patio have a drink n leave, like people were already doing in the back when security said I had drug paraphernalia making me sound like an addict saying I can't even come in the bar on John's directions. I'd like to talk to the main person about compensation for the broken phone and for this incredibly stupid and completely avoidable situation I've found myself in. I'll delete my review after being contacted.

The bar tender Name John was so unprofessional he had would ignore certain people at the bar and had me and others waiting for about 15 minutes and never asked if we needed a drink while we were standing there. And he would never want to make the same drink twice. I don't understand why they hire bartenders like this. Looks like he did it like his job.
