Doorman nightmare

I never got into this bar so I can't tell you if itÂ’s good. I was recently married and afterwards we met up here with our friends. We arrived a later than them. I had forgotten my wallet, had other things on my mind. The doorwoman wouldn't let me in without ID. Ok. I get it. ThatÂ’s the policy. But I just got married, can she make an exception? She still says no. So there I am standing there all dressed up my wife IN HER WEDDING DRESS, with 15 friends to ready drink. Strangers at the bar came to our defense. I am clearly not under 21, I just got married, a little flexibility could be expected right? The doorwoman got very nasty told us to fuck off, that I was ruining HER night. She literally pushed me outside the door, told me I could not wait inside. A guy came out and said his friend owned a bar down the street, they would be happy to have us. So we left. I don't know if this is a good bar and now I don't ever care to find out

The only reason to go to this bar...

The highlight of the evening was the doorman named Jacob. This guy is god's gift to doormen. Doormen across the country should take a page from this kid's book. He has a smile that could cure cancer, and the legs of a dancer. You should come here just to meet Jake.

I'm shocked by the other review and thus had to post. I had top shelf liquor for $3 during Happy Hour, great music, a knowledgeable and very cool/friendly bartender and chill, good, cool atmosphere. I recommend.
