The Grackle

“We played a good game of pool, had great conversations with both the bartender and the person at the door. Love the atmosphere, and glad we finally gave it a try. The selection of whiskey is insane and I’m definitely coming back to try the green tea shot on tap.”

“as you can tell from the 3.2 star overall yelp rating, this place is best to be avoided. The bartender with the mustache and bad tattoos was the most hostile, rude, and unpleasant person I’ve ever come across. If you’re thinking about going here, don’t.
