On of them named Zoey was yelling for over a half hour about other women in the bar, and I really mean yelling. "B-word this, b-word that, IM NOT DRUNK, I WORK HERE!!" at the top of her lungs. I had to get up and move to the other side of the bar because she was so drunk and belligerent but because she is an employee no one told her to shut up. The bar tender that was working was only paying attention to her friends. I had to ask one of her friends to order for me because she was ignoring everyone else and it worked. Could be a cool place if it had a different staff.

There were a few locals sitting at a table, seemed like one guy worked there or was a manager. I said hi and they were suspicious. :) The female bartender was very friendly and welcoming. A few visitors came in and ordered wine. There was a TV on low with some sports. A good selection of well-to-premium liquors behind the bar and some basic beer by the bottle and can. Meh. I should have walked around to see the back room but I wasn't feeling it here, despite the friendly bartender. I like dive bars, so maybe another try someday for me and The Flo.

Only special times when we have a community meal. It is incredible to think that people have been making memories there for decades - easily 30 or even 40 years like my husband, Mike! It truly feels like a cornerstone of our neighborhood, a place where everyone knows your name and you always feel at home. All visitors have gone thru the challenges of life despite their differences--respectfully. And so much of that incredible, welcoming spirit comes directly from Chris, the manager with Nick and Janine, the bartenders. Chris genuinely believes in creating a true community hub, fostering an atmosphere where everyone feels like they're part of an extended family. You can really feel that dedication when you're there; it's exactly the kind of friendly, local spot we all cherish. We hope to celebrate my husband's birthday on Saturday, June 6!

My co-worker and i work about 5 minutes from this bar. It was sure my first time and surely last time i will ever go there. The bartender was so a skinny older Caucasian women, extremely rude yelling at people. As on our second drink she went outside yelling at customers, then came back inside and continued yelling at other customers. At this point my co-worker and I decided to pay for our drinks and excuse our self. I Have never been a new paying customer that felt so embarrassed to just be in a hostile environment that is supposed to be nice and relaxing right after work. I hope the owner was not present and hopefully is not aware of the way she functions in his place of business, if the owner is they should be extremely embarrassed. I suggest the owner goes but unannounced or have someone check out how this business is run when the owner is not present. Poor judgment on the hiring process! read more

We visited the day after Christmas with a large group, with additional friends joining us later. Unfortunately, the bartender was noticeably rude. She mentioned she was tired from working seven days in a row, which we understood and empathized with. However, our friends were then confronted in a hostile and rude manner, which could have been handled much differently. Being yelled at and having the situation blown out of proportion was uncalled for. As paying customers bringing a significant amount of business, we expected a more professional and welcoming experience from this establishment. Better bartender next time would've been nicer. read more

i was attacked by the bartender a really buff woman ( Rhonda ) that looks like a man last night for no reason. My lawyer and I are looking into a suit for harassment. She randomly came out and attacked me the patrons claimed she had been in an altercation earlier so it wasn't because of me . But it was very unprofessional.. I'll be doing what i can to ensure this doesn't happen to anyone else. I will try and continue to contact the owner as i will be suing this bar for her harassment and behavior. I would not recommend this place anymore after i was attacked by this unattractive man/woman read more

The Newark location is smaller and simpler, and the atmosphere is not as inviting, especially with noisy kids running amok and banging on things repeatedly, parents incapable of controlling their unruly children (which is why they don't belong in bars), a strange vibe not ideal for couples just trying to have a chill night out. But at least the service was good, one guy workin hard manning the entire bar and lounge. They were out of limoncello on Saturday evening, so we ended up getting The Mahoney, Viva, and a gin martini. The specialty cocktails were pretty good, especially the Viva. The bartender also gave us free shots of martell cognac before we left.

We came for their Wednesday night Karaoke and Prime Rib night. Except, we got there a wee bit too early to experience Karaoke but we did enjoy our shared prime rib meal! Although we asked for medium rare, it was more medium well. I ate the medium well sections and my friend ate the medium rare-ish parts. But overall, the meal was very good. We loved the fresh roasted veggies and little potato pops! As for Karaoke, we'll have to experience that some other time. After we ate, we played a game of pool. There's much needed improvements... both tables are wonky. We put in our $2 and only 3 balls came out. So, the staff put $2 into the other pool table and a few more came out. We just combined both ball sets to play and tried our best to memorize which balls belongs to whom. Beware that if you scratch, you will never see that white ball again!! We made the most out of our games and still felt joy. However, it does need to be fixed! I can't say enough about the staff. The lady waitress who served and helped us was so wonderful. She came back several times to check on us and even convinced us to order dessert which we did enjoy! Going to try other theme nights, its that fun there!
