I stopped by in the early afternoon. It was quiet but was like my neighborhood bar at home. Also my age group around 2pm
This place is so welcoming and friendly! I love The Fireplace! I stopped in here because it was raining and had the best time. Looking for a laid-back Cheers type bar? This is it! Bill the bartender is super cool and there are lots of regulars who are so nice and willing to help a visitor find some cool stuff to do! Coming here was the best choice I made today! ❤️❤️❤️🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
A great homecoming! First time in six years when I was a 5 times a week regular. Recognized by two, fooled three. The drinks are still spectacular...I doubt if anyone serves better. The crowd was 1/10th of what it was--COVID related I'm sure.
I had a good time and returned the next day--July 4th. I told a friend I'll be back this Sunday. In the days of old, Sundays were the absolute, extreme best.
Although it takes a minute for the bartender to take your order. The bar is pretty good. Drinks will definitely get you lit. The people varies from different ages. Definitely an urban bar which I like. But I don’t like how they close at 2:30 am on Weekends. Kinda early, but other than that i have been going back ever since.
Neighborhood Lgbtq bar with inexpensive extra strong drinks..it doesn't have a regular ATM that YOU maybe unaccustomed so bring cash if you're unsure.
The bar offered a staff of gregarious and friendly individuals who catered to my friend and I in a very satiable way. We were visiting from out of town but the staff made us feel right at home! This is exactly how human experiences should feel. I'd highly recommend this place to everyone I know!
This is the only gay, black bar I've ever been to. I'm not saying that to make a statement or piss anyone off but if you are a gay black man, this is basically paradise. The rooms up and downstairs are a little full of vape smoke, the music is loud, up best and fits the crowd and in every way this is one of the most welcoming places I have been to in a long time. The patrons are friendly, hanging out and having a fantastic time, the drinks are low cost and strong as any drink I've ever had. The odds of the bartender calling you "girl" is 100% and it is a hoot of a time. This is a bar built by a community of awesome folks.
Great place to meet friends and have a drink alcoholic or non-alcoholic, very pleasant atmosphere.
The Firplace - Three drink maximum has been in effect as many years that I know no other place to order a best bar drink outside during a bar crawl. Stay cozy and affluent - star approved.
If you're looking for a friendly neighborhood bar, this is the place to go. Scotty, the bartender was great both times we were there. We also went on a Saturday night and it has a crowd. The upstairs gets very busy apparently at night time. Highly suggested very friendly and fun.
