Never again. I had a negative experience last time at this place. Was thanking the new owner for helping keep the pub around cause of my Irish Heritage, and was told ""You are only 1/4 Irish"", then he walked off... I blew that off and I gave it another shot. Friends band was playing Saturday night. I sent out a grip of invites both facebook and myspace and also by phone. Only a few people showed, and they were from out of state. No one was charging at the door. The poor, but awesome bartender was overwhelmed with business. A girl hid beside me afraid of some guy inappropriately touching her and speaking sexually explicit things. She ran and there was no bouncer so I helped her get to her car safely. 3 other girls were complaining about the guy. The owner only told him to be cool. He was obviously out of place and acting strangely, wandering around and pretending to call people but never speaking. Friends band was told they would get paid $100 to play, so they drove in from Ridgefield and Vancouver. Owner had the bartender break the news that they weren't getting paid, long after the lat band played and they waited around. Not very honorable to say the least. Not going back on my own... Its too bad to see such horrible business practices. I really hope they don't treat employees the same, as they rocked.
Pros: Hardworking single handed bartender, the 2 bands that played
Cons: Bad business, no bouncers, cover, mic stands, rude owner.
