To: thirsty sportsman Date: 08/17/2025 Disrespect by Off-Duty Door Check On 08/17/2025, at approximately 12:00 am The door check approached me and told me to "stay away from my ex." I was not engaging with my ex or causing any disturbance! The door check's behavior was unacceptable for several reasons: The door check had no authority to intervene in my personal affairs or dictate my interactions. The comment was intrusive, condescending, and unprofessional.and very disrespectful I was not causing any issues or violating establishment rules. This incident raises concerns about staff conduct, patron safety, and respect for personal boundaries.
Great place for a beer and a tenderloin sandwich. Indiana food and comfortable place. Only personal drawback is air needs some filtering but it’s an open state place. Nice crowd talked about fishing and hunting due to unseasonable warmer weather at the time, course it’s like normal today…winters of course If you need a fair spot to relax this is pretty good
First time here. Bartenders outstanding! Our service is wonderful! Everyone is friendly! I have to give a standing ovation for Whitney the bartender! She made my favorite drink for me! Live music was great. The crowd seem to enjoy them. Pulled pork nachos were amazing!
Celebrated my daughter's 30th birthday here! It was great! Great food and drinks, awesome atmosphere just a few friends and family. Really enjoyed it!
It's just a little hole in the wall bar with great food. Really enjoy the Friday night karaoke
Open space with pool tables and an awesome bartender. Cold beer, great happy hour specials. Stop for a couple beers and conversation with locals
Enjoying going there and rocking some karaoke and the people are amazing
Sherry is the best bar tender around by a long shot. Not only is she insanely good at remembering what her regulars drink but she goes above and beyond to make sure every person in the bar is taken care of, the bar is clean, and she’s also a great singing bar tender if you tip her well I have never had a bad night at thirstys. The crowd is a mix of a little bit of everyone. A great place to watch the races and games, great pool players and the best fish special in the area.
