The difference in vibe is pretty noticeable and not in a good way. The drinks are just okay. The bartenders are fine at their jobs, but not particularly personable or welcoming. If you're nearby, this place is tolerable during the daytime, but at night it becomes a different story. The biggest issue is the security. The bouncers come off as shady and randomly push a cover charge, even though there's nothing happening that justifies one especially for this neighborhood. No special event, no DJ worth mentioning, nothing that makes a cover make sense. Overall, it feels like a downgrade from what this place used to be. There are no better options nearby unfortunately.

Drinks are…read moreexpensive and never the same price, seems like the bartenders key in whatever price that they want to charge you. BE ADVISED: a 20% tip is included on the drink price, but the bartender will give you an unitemized receipt that just says total with a line for a gratuity like a restaurant that doesn't add a gratuity. If you ask for the itemized receipt it shows your order with the 20% gratuity included, which matches the unitemized receipt total above the gratuity line! This is really a shady practice. And all the bartenders do this as though they were trained on the practice. I'm probably going to report this to the NYS Attorney Generals Office.

You ever find a place that just feels....wrong?…read more Ok, so as most of you know by now, I adore a dive bar..... like Frank Gahllager levels of love*. So when I knew I would be in the area for a while waiting for a ride, I figured I'd find refuge in a place that made me feel at home. This place should have fit that bill, but man looks can be deceiving. I'll be honest, when it comes to sticky floor dive bars, I tend to ignore ratings...well not ignore, but almost inverse the score. The lower the rating, odds are the better the dive it is. This place's rating wasn't far off, if anything, maybe a litle too high. It started innocently enough when they told me they were cash only...fair, it's only 2021 and yelp says you take cards..but yeah fair. Anywho, a quick jaunt to the corner Capitol One**, and I was back no worse for the wear..somehow. I got back and ordered a beer and a shot. In a dive bar. In a neighborhood where someone like Frank Gahllager could literally be....and it was 15$? Come on, guys. It was a bottle of Coors Lite and a shot. Never mind the fact that the place was on fire with people having...lets just say a little too much fun at 5pm on a weekday (even for me), and I was sold that this place was pretty much the pits of hell. Was I waiting for a ride still? yes. Does that mean I stayed? Absolutely, but I made sure to keep it to mugs of Bud (PS they ONLY serve Bud and somehow Stella on draft....). Don't get me wrong, it took forever to get another beer, as it was change of shift and the old bartender ran away while the new one basically told everyone to piss off for 15 min's as he set up. So TL;DR. This place is as dirty as a dive bar, has shitty booze like a dive bar, but charges like a normal bar and has bartenders that are pretty much the worst. For the record, those bartenders should have been a tip-off that this wasn't really a dive, as dive bar bartenders, as a rule, are the fucking best. _______________ *Minus the absolute rock bottom that is Frank G. **I LOVE this city, but man is this neighborhood the worst. Like people blowing smoke in your face and looking at you for a second or two too long kinda the worst....let me stop clutching my pearls now.

We have been going there for years and it has always delivered a good time. The vibe is fun, the music is generally solid, and there is a dance floor to make use of if you are in the mood. Fair warning though -- the speakers are close and the floor can get crowded, so be mindful of where you position yourself or you will be hearing ringing for days afterward. I have actually started considering bringing earplugs on future visits to protect my hearing. It is that kind of loud. As for drinks, I cannot speak to those since I do not drink alcohol. What I can tell you is that the water was perfectly hydrating. The DJ does the usual DJ things -- occasionally cuts a song too early or drops something you are not feeling -- but overall the music selection works and keeps the energy up. I would not come here for a quiet meal. The environment is not built for that. But as a place to gather with friends, celebrate something, and have a genuinely good time, it is a solid local gem.

First server tells us a Togo box is $3, then he ran off, the second server tells us oh you can't take these to go, then also walks off. Why do you, as the restaurant, get to dictate if I take my food to go so that I don't waste it? This is also in addition to: ranch, blue cheese, celery, which usually comes wings, are ALL $1 additional a piece. Management need to get their shit together before this "what used to be" place become a "well that's not there no more".

I've only been here once, but I've already had TWO great experiences. Let me explain…read more.. My first time entering the bar was on a late Sunday afternoon. My boyfriend and I had been meaning to check the place out. The venue is small. The name "Club House" is a good fit. There's a coin-operated pool table in the back, a jukebox and a few arcade games lined up against one wall. The bar is not heavily stocked, but it had the basics. No drafts. I believe cash only. What makes me love the place is the people. When we walked in, we were greeted by just about everyone, both staff and patrons. We hung around for a few drinks. We watched and listened as everyone talked smack to each other, almost nonstop. We were offered free food (served during the football game). We were included in the jokes and conversations as if we were regulars. It felt like my own little Cheers. When we left, every single person said goodbye. This is just one experience. My second great experience actually happened over a year ago. We were walking around the neighborhood and the door of this bar was open as someone stood in front smoking a cigarette. I saw the pool table in the back and got excited. I had been looking for a bar with a pool table in the area and this was the first one (and still only one) I saw. The man standing out front teased me over my excitement. We all laughed, as he welcomed us in for a game...a challenge. It felt warm. We wanted to go back, for the pool table and for him. We didn't get his name and I probably won't remember him if I saw him again. But again, the people here...
