I went here and I was attended by a guy with a man bun name Cody he said his the manager. He asked for my id and literally this guy took like 5 minutes looking at my id. My id is a valid id it’s definitely real and not fake! And he refused service claiming my id was fake. I am a Hispanic women and I went with a African American guy to the bar. This guy was absolutely, rude, disrespectful, and racial profiling people. A complete racist. My id is real I went to two other bars right after and I had no issues! So clearly my id is valid and it was this guy whose a racist! This so called manager is a complete jerk and I hope the owner reads this! I even called back and he was rude and disrespectful! I would definitely not be going back and it’s sad how some people deny service based on race! Again I’m Hispanic and I was with a black African American! I definitely experience racism tonight and I am happy to show my id to the owner anytime to prove my id is valid and the manager you have working there is a complete racist! If you only like to service because white people maybe you shouldn’t work at a bar! Where people can be of any color and race! I definitely want to escalate this to the owner, and again I’m happy to bring my id since it’s valid and you have a jerk working there pretending that my id isn’t real! And saying his not comfortable serving but it’s really because his a racist! If you are not white! And have a different race or color other than white I would say go to central tavern or any other bar expect here! I absolutely would not recommend this bar to anyone not even my worst enemy. The way I was treated was based on my race and the persons race I was with nothing to do with my id! Run from this racist bar control by racist workers! Customer service is poor and honestly the way I was treated shows the type of employees they hire! If you only want white people maybe you shouldn’t be in the entertainment business! Treat people with the same don’t make it so obvious!!!! You are racist towards Hispanics and African Americans!!!!

A super selection of bourbons and many other spirits. Several local beers on tap and a bunch of the regulars in containers. They have some great drinks and specials. They have a tasting price and a drink price. No food service but it seems they don’t mind if you bring food with you. Cody was very helpful, friendly and took pride in his drinks. I will be back Thanks

Nice little hometown whiskey bar. Cool vibe and nice cocktail menu with decent prices. Old fashioneds had creative ingredients but were almost too overpoweringly stiff. Good music and real dartboards. Nice conversation place.

Saloon style with a different crowd. The bartenders were amazing. Drinks were very good with cool names. The old fashioneds were a bit too strong. Lots of young, hipsters rolled in at the end of the night. Nevertheless, an excellent bar in Bartow.
