“ Always love coming to the Iron Well & enjoy my time here. Service is amazing & every bartender is always friendly. They remember faces & know their customers' drink even if the customer has only been in one time before. Great, safe bar. ”
“ Very open and friendly atmosphere, decent music, and an experienced bar tender who made good drinks. A mixed crowd of patrons who seemed light hearted. Location is great management seemed to be on top of their game because the business was clean and the pool tables were well kept. Overall good experience. ”
“ I have no idea how I got here but the beer was cheap. Thanks for the hospitality ”
“ Always happy with the service here. All the staff Male and Female is on point with customers and orders. Anyone says otherwise are just bitter cry babies who complain on Google reviews because they were kicked out or cut off. As a former bouncer of 15 years. I've seen tons of bogus bad Google reviews. When someone says the staff was rude or kicked them out for no reason, come be really we all obviously know their is always a reason. So in conclusion don't believe the haters just come on down and have a good time. CJEERS!! ”
“ Nice little spot with a couple 7' Diamond pool tables. ”
“ Searching for Sunday Night Karaoke? Look no further. This is the spot. Trust me. The KJ is fantastic and satisfies both regulars and new patrons by making a simple, fair rotation. You will sing, but if it's busy, as it tends to be, you'll have to be patient and wait. You will sing in the order that you signed up, so if you want to sing fast, you can do one of two things: sign up before you wait and order your drink OR do the right thing and tip the KJ. You will then skip the entire rotation and be on deck. Seriously, one of the best karaoke spots GR has to offer. Don't believe me? Come out and see how karaoke is supposed to work. ”
