    Just a pretty good time. Enjoyed the free music. Parking was tough but everyone was chill. Bar tender was responding!

    The Kraken is all that is right about America. It is the best bar in the world, and I'm truly sad I don't live closer.

    It's the best, go and have a drink. Go and listen to a show. Go and eat crispy foods in the parking lot. Go and meet great people.

    Due to the quality of the talent this place books for live music (regional and national level), its also the best honky tonk around...

How are you gonna refuse to let a whole adult with a 401k in because you don't feel like verifying a verifiable ID :/ the group after me asked why, and apparently "the edges were peeling", so they showed their peeling IDs and said "well we definitely won't get in then" BUT THEY DID :/ Bless their hearts, they tried to say something, but she just got angrier and snapped at me to have a good night in a way which suggested that she very much did NOT want me to have a good night. My siblings flew out from Philly and NYC for one night together, so needless to say this was a damper, but apparently not uncommon -- you'd think a place with that reputation would have a little employee oversight :/

    For a place that calls itself a liberal bar they are very prejudicial and they showed it on…read moreHalloween night when I tried to bring in my service dog they asked me questions that were illegal to ask like where is your psychiatrist letter which I do have one but I don't have to show it nor do I have to show any evidence whatsoever that my dog is a service dog in all 50 states of the United States and under federal law that is not required once you identify your dog as a service dog that is all that's necessary really in most places but not for Orange County Orange County believes that they are above the law and very soon that will change for them. Do not recommend this place and probably will never go back.

    My friends and I who are well over age have enjoyed attending Zogs. We will no longer attend Zogs…read moreafter a traumatic experience on a Thursday night with a bartender named Chris. My friend who is a Carolina Alumni was visiting us from Missouri. Chris asked for her ID and she gave it to him willingly. He held her ID and yelled at her "GET OUT". Chris was convinced her ID was a fake and permanently damaged the ID. We called the cops and had them on speakerphone, then Chris, still mean, ugly, bad attention calls over the owner and she repeatedly says it's ok, it's ok, you're fine. My friend is obviously distraught, sobbing, needs this ID to get back on her flight to Missouri. The owner gave her back the ID asks us to step outside With her. Owner asks what she can do to fix the situation, fast answer is nothing. She Venmo's my friend $20 to order a new ID when she gets home. She said "he's very good with catching fakes, don't know why he would miss this one". Obviously not good enough. We are traumatized by how terrible Chris treated 4 harmless young women. I cannot believe a place could keep a bartender that is so aggressive. We have talked about this guy across Franklin street and turns out he has a bad reputation.
