Double Standard

Always a good time at the Double Standard. Food is always decent to good, prices are great. It can get crowded and the wait for a drink can be excessive. There is no table service, all food and drinks are ordered at the bar. The Buck a Shuck east coast oysters never disappoint. Last night, my wife and I did eight dozen. This is definitely on our rotation!

I've been here a couple times for drinks when visiting town, but my visit tonight was nothing short of frustrating. I arrived around 9:50 PM after a very long work day, ordered an Old Fashioned and a burger, and opened a tab. My burger and drink arrived, but that was the last time I was acknowledged.Despite being seated at the bar and still eating my food, my drink sat empty for 40 minutes. I watched the bartenders chat with what appeared to be regulars while I was essentially ignored (on what I'd consider a slow night, there weren't many people there) One bartender even stood directly in front of my barstool at the POS for several minutes without so much as a glance in my direction. Not once did anyone check in or offer to refill my drink.It wasn't until 10:57, almost an hour after my food arrived, that I managed to get the attention of a bartender just to close out.I travel for work and frequent the hotel next door, and am currently here planning a move to the area. After this experience, I would not consider returning or recommending it to anyone. Service here is completely lacking, and the indifference shown to customers is inexcusable.

DS is that B! Best bar in downtown area in my opinion it just always hits the spot! Lots of core memories made and love how double is the standard which makes it all worth it in the end! Don't get me started on the fires with the aioli BROO mouthgasm! They have a solid grilled chicken sandwich too! Service is always great ambiance amazing and will definitely keep coming!

This place is now one of my favorites for some small bites, good drinks, and some oysters. It's got this old-time bar feel with a dark interior and a nice wooden bar. It's also nice and chilly inside as well. The drinks were great, with great prices and specials (Happy Hour I mean). The oysters were super great too which I love some good oysters. There is not much else to say. The staff was great, it was not very busy on Sunday when we went in. This is exactly my jam and I will go back when I am in SA.

We went to Double Standard for date night. Parking downtown is always a pain and can be expensive but if you're patient you might be able to find a spot on the street- we did! The place was pretty busy when we arrived but we found two seats at the bar with no problems. Our bartender was so fast and gave us excellent food and drink recommendations. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend the burgers (YUM)!

You order at the bar, the AC was blasting and there's a great HH menu every day. We got east coast oysters which hit the spot. The bartenders were great. I got a Femme Fatale, a tropical rum based drink which was quite tasty. We also had green tea shots, and a green tea cocktails and an order of crispy french fries. The fries were hot and fresh served with ketchup and a garlic aioli. Everything was great, chill vibes, good drinks, would return.

Stopped in during the pre-rodeo celebration in town. It was crazy inside and out. Good bartenders. Great margaritas. The wife had a dozen oysters since they were $1/each during happy hour. We also got some very good crispy fries. We should have gotten more to eat but met some new friends and went to the next stop. We will be back. Nice outside patio, long bar and lots of tables.

Came in for happy hour on a Sunday around 12pm. It wasn't too busy and my husband and I sat at the bar. The bartender was very friendly and service was quick.We got 2 dozen east coast oysters that were $1 each during happy hour, an order of crispy fries, 4 beers (happy hour beers are 8oz each), and a cocktail.The oysters were just okay - east coast oysters were expectedly small. The "crispy" fries were not crispy, but they were still pretty good. The decor was nice and very classy, although the vibe is casual.Overall, we enjoyed our time.

I've been to Double Standard several times, and I always have a great time. The service at the bar is excellent, and the staff are friendly and efficient. The music is really cool, featuring artists like Boz Scaggs and CCR. It's a bit loud but still at a level where you could have a conversation.If you're looking for a bite to eat, try the DS Burger, which is $16. It's really good--the meat mixture makes it juicy and flavorful. The Dijon and cheese spread is nice, but it would be better with some tomatoes or lettuce added to it.Happy hour ends at 6 pm, and it gets CRAZY busy around that time on most days. During happy hour, beers are $2 for 8 ounce pours, with a varying selection that might include High Wheel Betty Kolsch or Modelo. Regular prices are $14 for a big schooner of beer or a martini.Overall, a great place to hang out, enjoy good music, and grab a drink.

Double Standard has a fun atmosphere, but my most recent visit fell short of expectations. Previously, I had a great time sitting at the bar, where the experience felt much smoother and more enjoyable. However, sitting at the self-seated tables this time brought some issues. You have to walk up to the bar to place your order, and with long wait times, it felt inefficient and inconvenient, even though the staff was friendly and welcoming.The food, unfortunately, didn't hold up. I ordered a burger that came out soggy and overly salty, to the point that I only managed to take a few bites. It's disappointing considering how much I enjoyed my first experience. Overall, while the atmosphere and staff are nice, the service system and food quality need improvement.
