Customer Reviews

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.

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.
