Ignore the bitter Testeralb and go to waterworks!

If you look at ALL of Testeralb's reviews they're all the same. He can't seem to fit in anywhere so clearly its not the bars. Waterworks is cleam, offers bar FRESH bar food and does a tremendous amount for the community. The bar is geared toward an older crowd during the day and a younger crowd at night but is still mixed. Monday Nights they have Karaoke, Tuesday night is trivia, Wednesday Night is a DJ / Drag Show, Therapy Thursday is every other Thursday Night (check out their schedule on facebook - Therapy Thursday! you definitely dont want to miss this moving party), Friday they have underwear boys downstairs, stand up comedy shows upstairs at 8:30-11, then at 11 the pub has karaoke and upstairs the club is open for dancing. Saturday they have ladies happy hour upstairs, Saturday Night 2 DJ's one downstairs (top 40 and dance) Upstairs techno and house. Sundays the schedule changes but sometimes there's an open mic upstairs, comedy, a dj downstairs. It's deifnitely a place to check out. There is a cover on the weekends but not during m-th or sunday. .

go elsewhere

Stale fool smell hits you upon entry. Followed by some underaged twink's puke. I'll go elsewhere next time. How dare you charge a cover.
