Awful and Experience. We were from Out of town. We came to have drinks and we were chased out by college students thinking we were a threat. 2 people were maced by local patrons and 2 others were wounded needing ER attention leaving boarding and wounded. Dangerous and scary if you are not a local.... read more

The old bouncer was the only pleasant person that worked here. now that he is gone I don't think I will ever go back. the bartender is rude and basically will only communicate with you by grunting. the bartender and owner are both rude. they have about three beer choices if you are lucky. The only good thing is on Wednesday they have $1 Genny. One time I ordered a gin and tonic and it was brown. I was visibly concerned when the bartender handed it to me but he did not care. for some reason i tried it any way and I cannot tell you what it was, but it was not good. I really do not understand how they are still in business. read more

First impressions when i first walked in was that the bar was full of regulars. There was open mic night happening which was cute, but after that first introduction it went down hill from there, fast. I went with a group of friends, ages from 21-24, 3 of which were regulars and knew the owner and the bartender. Myself and one other person were military. I asked for some "dollar beers" and wasn't even greeted, but asked for our IDs in a harsh, very unfriendly tone. Not necessary for such a small bar that wasn't packed or full of drunks. I had a state ID and the bartender wouldn't serve me, even though i was of age and it was a valid ID. I tried to explain to him that i didn't have another form of ID on me, to double tap my age and he was very rude and just kept repeating "no" and not even listening to me. Terrible customer service. At the same time, i understand where the bartender was coming from when it comes to making sure an ID is valid and covering his butt, but he didn't even have a decent conversation with me about it. When i went to talk to the owner who was sitting at the bar, the bartender interrupted me and continued to say "no." The owner who i heard was a good guy wouldn't even look at me, he turned his back to me and pretended i wasn't there. That was the worst customer service action i have ever experienced. If you are the owner to an establishment then you should be available to talk and be approachable. Your workers should also be friendly and respectable. I tried explaining to these gentleman that i was in the marine corps and had left my military ID in CA hence the reason for the plain state ID, but they were very stand off-ish. It was almost as if they didn't support the military, but i won't jump to the conclusion. I will not be returning to the hickey, and i hope the establishment evaluates themselves and makes changes for the better. read more

First off, if you won't serve your of age military. You shouldn't be open. This bar wouldn't serve a female Marine while I was there. She had a state ID that wasn't a driver license and they wouldn't serve her due to this. I understand if you're a bartender and there is some question to an ID and you don't want to risk your job, but the owner of the Bar was sitting at the bar and could have made a definite judgment call. This young lady had people she was home visiting that she had attended college with that were vouging for her and the owner still wouldn't allow the ID. If you were a popping bar with a large turn out, I could understand turning the patron away, but with barely 10 people in the joint at midnight, good luck explaining this to the locals. I hope people read this that have served and call you out for this. As a veteran, I hope you never try to claim that you support the troops or veterans. This was an action that will deter me from every coming back to your establishment. Avoid this bar at all costs. read more

Yelp helped me find Randy's just down the road from my hotel and I went for it. I had a great steak dinner, a cold beer, amazing, friendly service, and nonstop local flavor entertainment as patrons came and went. If this place was a reality TV show, I would be watching it. Give Randy's a try you won't regret it. The food is amazing and the people and the place are legendary.
