Press Box

Visited the press box yesterday for the first time in over ten years, likely will not be back based on the type of people and things management is allowing to occur. Inside the coin pusher machine was a quarter with a swastika and a second coin with a "ss" logo. Shortly after we noticed that three large men started standing in front of the door acting as a sort of unofficial bouncer for the establishment. They were wearing 3 percenter militia gun shirts ("I study triggernometry"). It felt like they were trying to intimidating certain individuals into leaving the establishment. It seems hard to believe that in this day and age that the management would allow or condone this but I get the feeling that they must. Definitely felt uncomfortable to be there.

Arrive at press box placed order for 12 chicken wings. Bartender was polite and professional. The manager brought me on a tour of the facilities, it has 4 outdoor volleyball courts and a wiffle ball court, has 2 indoor volleyball courts and lots of other activities. The wings arrived hot and crispy. They tasted great, on Monday the have a 6 for 2.50 special.

Its a cool environment like physically and the staff is super nice and all but to put it delicately, I wont be a recurring customer. Look im from NYC originally and lived in a few other major cities so im saying this in earnest: that crowd gave me Skid Row vibes there were so many drxg dealers and i kept getting asked by super inebriated people if I was okay? I wasnt even drinking i just went to pick up a friend. I was hit on by a female in the rudest way, it made me feel indifferent to say the least. But yeah the chairs were comfy and it met all the "dive bar" standards but the general vibe was off kilter. 🖖

The bartenders are kind, the drinks are great and priced right! They also derve a small menu of items. The atmosphere however is uneasy on the weekends, more specifically during what are considered "club hours". The crowd is more mixed and the energy becomes uneasy! Prior to that and throughout the week, it's an amazing atmosphere.
