Came here with a group of girlfriends on a Friday night and it was definitely busy. The bar itself…read moreisn't very large, so the later you arrive, the more crowded and tight it gets. There's a long side bar, which made it easy to order drinks even with the crowd. The bartenders were attentive, friendly, and quick with service. They also have two dart boards in the back that are free to use, but it's first come, first serve so if you want to play, plan to get there earlier in the night. Overall, it's a fun spot for a night out with friends!

I've been passing it for years and was curious …read more... CASH ONLY 1- ambiance : this is a friendly neighborhood dive bar. * there are no hipsters here * it's been here since the 70s * the regulars who come here are friendly. No joke. * "dive bar" as in the tiki theme isnt curated by a designer. It's real of it's era * the bartender is the owner. If you're not a regular he's friendly enough but don't expect him to chat you up 2- food Nope. Don't expect any 3- drinks The pours are generous. The Mai tai mix is from a bottle but- guess what. It's good. What I loved best was , no new glass for another drink. Just some more ice and another mix. This is old school 4- hours Beats me. I sort of wonder when the heck it's open Honestly- I love it This place doesn't pretend to be anything but it is. The locals smoke outside the door and can be off putting, but they are all super friendly

FORMERLY known as Southland Bar, the very-recent new ownership renamed to The Alley Bar. The name…read morewasn't the only thing that changed, and it wasn't for the better. With new ownership comes an affiliated new crowd coinciding w/ old crowd. You could cut the tension in the air w/ someone's pocket knife because you just felt at least one person was packing. I never felt the need to look over my shoulder regularly thru the night til now. Territorial is an understatement. It could be your first visit, and you could tell two different groups were there. Service was disappointing. A customer is a customer, but I noticed new ownership neglected old crowd to tend to her crowd or anything else to keep her "busy." Meanwhile, original bartenders were bending over backwards for everybody. We, in the old crowd, are familiar enough w/ each other for some small talk at the bar while waiting for drinks. They were as confused and shocked as I was about the service. I don't even want to mention what I saw in owner/staff interactions, but I'ma just leave it at sad. It was just sad. I'm not a regular regular, but Southland was the spot for my friends and me when we wanted a night out together for past couple years. Now, we're back to bar-hopping for a new spot because The Alley Bar ain't it. I'd give her benefit-of-the-doubt because she just picked up the place, but benefit would imply I saw an effort in keeping old crowd loyal while inviting new life, too--yeah, no benefit here. R.I.P. Southland, thanks for all the fun.

I wanted a quick drink and this was the closest little bar. Lucky me for the lodging problem because I ended up having the funnest night with the nicest people ever and I can't wait to come back. Thursday karaoke night - highly recommend. LOUD and they have a decibel reader I'm coming back with friends on the Friday line dancing night.

If you're looking for rude and unprofessional staff, this is the place to go. The service here was…read morebeyond unacceptable especially from a girl named TINA with tattoos wing on her back, who was openly disrespectful toward customers. We were having a minor issue while trying to use our card, and instead of offering help, she snapped and said, "That's your problem." Excuse me? That's not how you speak to paying customers. The attitude, the tone, and the lack of basic courtesy were astonishing. It's clear that respect and professionalism don't exist in this place. The environment felt trashy, and the staff treated guests with zero regard. This was my first and definitely my last visit. It's sad that women working here are treated more like decoration than employees, it's degrading and uncomfortable to witness. This establishment needs serious management intervention and staff training because this kind of behavior is completely unacceptable.

This individual thought it would be okay to put his hands on women and grab them by the waists and when asked about it he said "I work here, I can do whatever I want".

The service is outstanding and the neighborhood bar vibes are peak when you want to get a "locals only" experience. Some things to note: * They love their UFC here, so if you're into that def come on over. There were more screens dedicated to UFC than WC semi-finals when I visited and the packed restaurant ROARED when the UFC action was happening. * They do line dancing lessons and trivia nights and other fun entertainment here (check the schedule). * The pizza is NY-style, very legit, love the crust, and you can get a whole pie or (I love that you can get it) by the slice. * I also tried the wings. I usually go for bbq or buffalo to keep it safe but tried their tequila miso since it sounded unique. Def delicious and loved the ranch it came with. Would get it again. * They have a separate arcade room with pinball machines and TV screens tucked in the back. There are multiple tables and it's great for a private party. I'm so happy with the staff putting me back there instead of the main room bc the main room that evening was too loud for the kiddos. The back room was perfect.

They've got 2 pool tables and the place is super cute with little Christmas decorations right now. Makes the place feel lived in. I think on a busy night it might be tight because it's an open room floor plan with just the main floor so seating could get tough. But on a slow night it's a great place for a chill night cap! Definitely will pop back in :)

They also have some finger foods if you're hungry. Must give this place a shot. The people here are super nice and friendly. Prices are reasonable, Better than most similar places.
