Backdraught Tavern & Rescue

"I was treated absolutely correct! The bartender was sweet to meet me!!!!"

"Not "everybody" gets covid here. Go there for all your entertainment needs. When you walk into this place you would expect to hear circus music because this place is truly the "GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH". There is an extremely eclectic group of patrons that are more entertaining then watching a three-legged race at the old age home. The bartenders are awesome and make the best ice cream drinks in Bay View. This bar also has drop off child care service and offers indoor pool. Last but not least Billy Wegner drinks here"

"I briefly stopped in here a couple of times, but did not get the best impression. Upon my first visit, I was waiting at the bar. I came around noon during the week so I had hoped it wouldn't be too busy. Unfortunately there were already several inebriated customers, one of whom was slicing up sausages with a meat cleaver... at the bar. Not exactly ideal, but I tried to mind my own business. Unfortunately, I had to return a second time. This trip I stood on the opposite end of the bar, and was able to get a better look at the establishment. On the right side was the bar. It was only 4pm, and already filled. It's obvious they have a very regular crowd. To my left were a few tables for patrons to sit at. It seemed like they were doing construction, or stopped halfway through. The floor & ceiling looked to be in disrepair, and again, not appealing. I only stopped in here to pick things up for a friend of mine, so I did not have a drink. As I said before, they seem to have a regular crowd that very much enjoys the bar. However, I don't particularly enjoy walking in and being greeted by someone with a cleaver. Will not be coming back to see progress on their demolition. The atmosphere was a solid 1 star. Only giving three because I haven't had their drinks, so I cannot downgrade them for that. The bartender & owner were friendly."

"Great friendly corner bar. I was there during a shift change and both bartenders made me feel like a regular on my first visit. They also were totally cool with having my service dog with me..thanks much! Most importantly,the other customers were very welcoming as well."
