My friends and I walked in, at 12:30am on a Tuesday. We walked over after experiencing a very rude…read morebartender at the beer garden. It was my friend's birthday. Before leaving i had to ask the bartender for her name because of how amazing she was. I wrote it o my hand so i wouldn't forget. Thanks Cammy! You were amazing. (I probably spelled that wrong ) She took care of us, laughed with us, and kept the drinks coming. She really turned an ordinary and boring Tuesday into one of my best nights in this city. The music was a great mix of old school millennial classics such as T-Pain and even Eminem. But also played new songs. The place was kind of empty but that was expected. There were about 20-25 people there all together. Everyone was so nice and having a good time. There's pool tables, beer pong tables, and different areas to hang out. We stayed until 2am and the security even made sure to wish us a safe ride home. Everyone was welcoming and attentive. I've never had much interest in coming here before but now, I'm excited to come back!

They do have games such as two ping pong tables, dart board, jenga, cornhole and various other little games. We only stayed for about an hour or so. We arrived around 8:30 pm, which was early and a bit dead, but we had another place in mind, which is why we left. I feel like after 10 pm, it does get livelier and would be a good time if we ended up staying. I will definitely come back and see how it is later in the night. The bartenders were nice, and we had no problems with the bouncer at all.

We pregamed across the street at Moo & Brew, leaving the car there before coming here.

I didn't get any food so I can't comment on that, but they didn't have a great selection of beers on draft, yet did have a few good options in a can. Overall, Small Bar was a fun place to stop in for a little while, and I might drop back in the next time I'm in the neighborhood.

The bar is divey, and you can find very cheap drinks, especially if you go for the daily specials. The bartenders are nice - beware that they do keep your card if you keep your tab open - and seem to know the regulars. In addition to monthly bingo, they seem to host drag events, have video games and board games available to play, as well as several TVs. Plus, dogs can go inside and out. The bar does not serve food, though usually there is a vendor there. Looking forward to next month!

There is no food but they have cheap drinks, old school games, a spacious patio, and they host cool events like bingo night. Their motto is "Mind your P's and Q's" which I found amusing. I have only been in a few times so I can comment on if their patrons typically adhere to this code of conduct! Overall I think it is worth checking out if you've never been and maybe it will grab you and you will want to become a regular. Me personally it's a little out of the way to become a regular haunt located in between Plaza and NoDa but not walking distance from either. Also it's not that the service was ever unfriendly but I just didn't feel like it was my vibe. Still a cool bar though and I can see why other enjoy it.

Bands are usually local and you might even know a member. The drinks are strong and cheap and there is a nice variety. I like going here before AND after a show at Ovens or a Checkers game. The ring game on the deck can keep (me) entertained for a hot minute and pool and darts is a nice competitive change. I also noticed this time there, that there is a photobooth next to the bar. I'll check that out the next time I'm there.

The crowd was high energy, some people had amazing voices and the vibe was fun. Drinks were pretty affordable, and my only negative is that I wish I knew their house was El Toro I haven't had that in years and it gives me the worst hangover, once I asked the bartender I switched to another tequila lol. Idk what the other nights are like but I personally enjoyed the vibe of how Wednesdays nights. It is nice because you scan a QR code to search a song and get added to the queue. You can see where you are in line and what songs have been picked so you don't repeat someone else's. They have a small stage you sing on and everyone sings along to root you on!

I came in on a weekend day after running some errands in the area and looking for a nice cool place to relax and have a beer. There was a good crowd of locals who all seemed to know one another as well as the bartender, but despite not being a regular I felt right at home. Both the bartenders and the patrons were very friendly and the atmosphere was enjoyable. I wish I lived closer because I could easily see myself becoming a regular.
