Not what I expected
Bar is ok, owner is smart but very conceited and arrogant. My suggestion, buy American
THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE, HOW CAN ANYBODY GO ANYWHERE ELSE.
HELLO SIDWINDERS, I AM SO HAPPY THAT I AM GOING TO BE ONE OF YOUR BEST CUSTOMERS. I REALLY LIKE YOUR BAR. IT'S SO APPEALING AND FRIENDLY. YOUR DOOR STAFF IS SO FRIENDLY, YOUR DRINKS ARE SO AWESOME, CHEAP AND VERY COLD, THE WAY A BAR SHOULD BE. . THE MUSIC IS SO GREAT, I LOVE TO DANCE AND MINGLE WITH ALL MY FRIENDS.. I HOPE THIS BAR WILL REMAIN OPEN FOR A LONG TIME. IF YOUR GOOD TO THE PEOPLE, THEY WILL BE GOOD TO YOU. I ALSO LIKE ALL THE DRAG SHOWS, IT'S AWESOME TO SEE RU PAULS DRAG SUPER STARS COME TO YOUR BAR, BUT IT SUCKS THAT EFFEX HAS TO COPY YOUR STYLE, THATS HOW STUPID AND IGNORANT THEY ARE, THAT IS NOT EVEN A SHOW BAR, IT'S A LOOSER BAR. THE STAFF THERE AT EFFEX ARE VERY RUDE AND TACKY, AND CARRIE IS NOT SO HUMBLE ANYMORE, SHE IS EVIL FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY, LIKE A DRUG DEALER. MONEY CHANGES PEOPLE, DONT BE FOOLED BY STRAIGHT PEOPLE THAT WORK AT EFFEX THEY WILL HURT YOU, THAT IS WHY THEY OVER CHARGE PEOPLE TO HAVE FUN THERE, THAT IS NOT BEING FRIENDLY, THERE RIPPIN\G YOU OFF. PLEASE DONT GO THERE, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, YOU WILL GET HURT.
