Best WLM Reviews

When I last visited 316, the owner was racist to my Asian best friend, was rude as hell to all of us, and literally told us to get out when we got mad at him for being racist.
The other bartenders seemed to just accept that this is how he is, though otherwise they seemed nice and friendly enough. The crowd was fine, and the decoration and atmosphere was actually exactly what we were looking for - but that owner! We left and never came back.
It’s a nice place to hear nice music and share with friends o just drinking ???? ???? ???? . I really like the design, lights and sound.
Person at the bar was rude. The bar was completely empty when we got there at 11 pm. I guess it’s a reflection of how this place treats people. What a shame because the building is actually cute
Used to be a fun place to go back in college 2016-2018. Now it’s terrible. They always double charge or swipe your card multiple times, my drink was spiked, and overall the quality of service has gone down hill. Such a shame.
I see the comments about racism but I have NEVER experienced such a thing here!! Not to degrade anyone’s experience, buuut this place never gave that vibe!!
Every time I’m here I see a mixed crowd of people with EVERYONE having fun together and enjoying EVERY SHADE of person! Are you kidding!! Their are regulars of this place that are EVERY SHADE!!
But they CAN be extremely busy and yea ofc you can mistake a busy bartender (one is usually the owner) for an attitude. But they’re BUSY and don’t want to WASTE time!!
This place is amazing!! If you want a more personal experience than Scorpio’s COME HERE!’
Super cute place, very unique. Wish there was more happening on a Saturday night but is perfect to just hang out and get a drink.
I have been twice, once for karaoke, once for a show. I was hesitant to go back a second time after reading bad reviews, but I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt. The bartenders were terrific, and the place was pretty crowded, so I had high hopes. But, the people who run it are absolutely ruining it. It had so much potential. They treat their employees, including their bartenders, and the performers that visit terribly. They degrade them, and yell at them, and it's probably the most unprofessionally ran establishment I've ever seen. Please spend your money with bar owners who actually treat their staff well, and treat performers that visit well, because this bar has no clue how to do that. Degrading people, yelling at them, and excluding them is not the move. Such a shame, this could've been a great thing.
Good place to get something/ chips etc to drink & to pick up hot stuff. I word my worn jockstrap under my pants. It was appreciated.
