856

The music was decent, I didnt see a juke box so I'm assuming it was pandora or satelite radio. Looked like 5 regulars in the place and the manager guy was in a tank top and flip flops carrying a gun on his side (is Lincoln center that bad these days?). We had asked for food but they had nothing to serve. The drinks were moderately priced  for what we got but we were refered here by a friend so we decided to try it out. The womens bathroom was dirty and had a bad smell to it (per my wife). We did however get filled in on the latest gossip as the manager was complaining the whole time about the other local establishments. Not good business being you never know whos in yours. In a nutshell I would say this is the first and last time we will be coming here. No food, dirty bathrooms (while there was obviously time to clean it), good drinks (I had a beer and my wife a "Pink" drink) and plenty of gossip make for a 2 star rating at best. I think we will be going to Valley Brew from now on.

I have been reading your reviews they got all my curiosity - I am going to 856 on Friday at 10:00pm -- What time you stop serving food - ????? not one of all the computer information shows that

So it was my birthday yesterday and some friends of mine and family members wanted to make it out for drinks.  So we decided to go to 856.  I've never heard of this place because I'm actually visiting from Atlanta, GA.  I'm in my fitted Gap jeans and a button up Guess shirt with a baseball cap on.  Everyone is dressed nice and appropriately (after attending a all white affair).  We roll up to this establishment and it seemed to be  pretty  light on patrons (which seemed odd at this time of night).  When we walk up to the entrance the Security guard says "SORRY GUYS ITS GUEST LIST ONLY".  So i proceed to ask about getting on this "so called" guest list.   The security guard says well to get on the guest list you have to "like" our Facebook page and we will review your page and if there is nothing "ghetto" on your page we "might" let you in.  I'm like okay there is something very fishy about this.  Yea I'm a 6'3" 210lb black guy but I also have more class then probably everybody there.  After a few exchanges (out of unfair treatment) we leave and head to West Lane bowling alley.  Well some of my other friends were suppose to meet us up at 856.  They were able to get in with no problem (and were not privy of any guest list).  So the girls who got in left and met up with my party and myself.  I came back with only the girls that got in (my party that was with me went home) because the security guard knew that our discussion  mentioned some racial profiling bullshit which he denied.  The security guard was looking dumb when he saw that I had arrived with the same girls he just let in with no issue. So he decides to let me in with out a hassle or mentioning any "so called" guest list again.  So my conclusion of this establishment is that they are in fact racial profiling people and deflecting people they don't want to come in.  I'm originally from Stockton but I've been away for a while now.  I had no clue this type of mess still is continuing out here. Hey 856 Here's a tip:  If you want to attract a certain Caliber of people, how about enforcing a strict guest code next time!
