  Well first of all I wasn't there for food, so this review will be nothing more than customer service: Lets be clear, this a _dive_ bar.
  I work in restaurants, and have for the past 10 years. Upon first approaching the bar, I ask if there are any drink specials, the bar tender responds that everything is special, I smile and say this is my answer as well when there are no specials and order a yeungling. Two beers and a shot later, I ask for a glass of water... BIG MISTAKE.
  You know when you go to the movie theatre and ask for a water... that little thimble sized cup they give you? Well this glass was marginally better than that, so I say to him, mind you this is a wed night and they aren't that busy, could I have a pint glass instead I drink a bit of water... The response I get is no, he needs his pint glasses for beers... OK fair enough.
  I take my water and I do finish it rather quickly, but we're playing darts, so it takes me a few minutes to get back to the bar to ask for a refill, and the first thing this prick says to me is : "well you didn't have to make a point about it" Like I chugged my water to make a point to him. Seriously?
  Anyways, this whole water "issue" continues for around an hour, during which time I order another beer, and the _lovely_ bar tender when I come back for another glass of water says to me, "Ive got a standing glass of water on the bar for you..." his way of being cute... the bar is half empty mind you... my glass of water is sitting in front of the only group of people at the bar, so I have to go ask for them to please pass me my water... JUST TACKY
  Before I left tonight, I pulled out a 5, handed it to the bartender and said... I would like to thank you, for the GREAT amount of energy you expended pouring me glasses of water tonight.
  Look, I'm from GA, and this is something I've noticed is wide spread if FL in general, but people just don't get customer service here. If I have a table who is acting like pricks to me, well that's one thing, but I'm not a rude person, all I did was ask for a glass of water. And until that prick of a middle aged bartender grows a rack and starts working in a bar called coyote ugly he can fucking pour me a glass of water and shut up about it.

  Slow service, but can't beat the cheap drinks. If you like reeking of smoke when you leave a bar, then this is your place. There tends to be a good deal of sketchy folks in here, so if you like people-watching stop by for a drink.
