What People Are Saying About Darwin's Pub
Featured Review

In Short – A vibrant white sign signals the door to this spacious corner spot. Looming in the center is the square bar, capped with four televisions typically tuned to sports. Dark wood accents, crests and a few animal heads contribute to the medieval-like feel. Being situated right alongside the competition encourages stray barhoppers. The daily drink specials, live music three nights a week and few tables are sprinkled throughout make this a popular spot for socializing.
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- Gather around the pool table for a friendly game or take advantage of the dart board with its ample throwing room.
- Save Time:
- For added convenience, there's an ATM just outside the front door.
BAD PLACE!!! DONT GO!!!!
by npanderson at Citysearch
I played there with my band and the Manager/Sound Engineer (INCOMPETENT at both), Cut us off in the middle of a song because He IMAGINED different lyrics talking about him, SO he ripped out our amp power chords from the wall, IN MID SONG. He was completely unreasonable and delusional. Every one at the bar gave us their very kind compliments and emptied because of the completely unnecessary and negative environment when this all went down. I will never return there and would recommend that you shouldn't either. THE MANAGER IS OUT OF HIS MIND!!!!!
Worst bar ever with rude people working in
by Dannayelli at Citysearch
A guy that was cleaning the bathroom at the pub kicked me out of the bar for the rear door just 'cuz I asked if he was going to take long cleaning it!! Unbelievable!! You don't do that to a woman. Then the guys in the main door didn't let me get back to pay my check and get my credit card back. My boyfriend stayed inside the bar all the time without know that I was already outside. Thanks for messed my night up Darwin's Pub.
- Pros: Couldn't find any
- Cons: Poor service and bad treatment

Avoid the pub and its whacked-out manager
by cockytex at Citysearch
It?s kind of a dive place, but the band was good.
If you don?t mind having the manager screaming profanities at your wife, manhandling you, and attacking you as you leave, then it is a fine place to go.
If you are just wanting to have a drink and a good time and don?t really want to deal with a whacked-out, ?roided-up, whacko screaming profanities, then go elsewhere.
- Pros: good band, reasonable prices
- Cons: violence, profanity, rude treatment of customer
