Most Disliked
Some visitors note inconsistencies in service, describing experiences as hit-or-miss, which can detract from otherwise enjoyable nights. Occasionally, the bar can feel crowded, especially during peak hours, potentially impacting wait times for drinks and food. While karaoke is a highlight, not everyone's vocal talents might impress, leading to mixed reactions from the audience. Those seeking quiet, intimate dining might find the lively atmosphere somewhat overwhelming, especially on weekends when crowds swell. Pricing could surprise some, as the tabs can add up quickly during busy evenings.

Karaoke night always goes hard, great vibes all the way around & very reasonably priced drinks. Pool room is also dope but don't be a table hog - bar service in the pool room is also dope, been to several places where that is not normal

This place is definitely dive bar without being dive completely. The service is always really good. The people are nice and I never have had a problem there. They have lots of activities but it's always a good place to sit down. Have some drinks and meet some friendly people while still kind of living that nightlife They have a good amount of pool tables if you're into that And quite a few activities to participate on different nights including karaoke and trivia

Very lively for a Thursday! Pool was cheap, karaoke was free… but whether your ears will thank you or not depends on who’s holding the mic. 🤣 Still, 10/10 for entertainment value. The tabs on the other hand a little high

Service was hit or miss. Either telepathic or … apparently I had my invisibility cloak on. If we graded on the law of averages, allowed the fact they are human as the handicap for said grading? Worthy of the 5 stars. Drinks were good, well mixed etc, I had better service more frequently than was ignored. kitchen did its job with aplomb!!! Yeah man, wow. Excellent vittles cooked up here. Salsa is homemade and it alone makes this a destination stop. Karaoke crowd was pretty kicking. Some really talented singers, and some that weren’t, but brought down the house with heart soul, and antics/stage presence. Will make a point to stop here again.

Madison and Ashia are the best bartenders! They take care of you and stay on top of your refills especially if you’re sitting at the bar. Great food and drinks too. Bigger crowds on Friday and Saturdays!

Had a great time at Greendoor! Thanks to the bartender Madison. Great atmosphere and the karoke’s on Friday is always a great time. Green tea shot or a double tequila cranberry with pineapple juice is a must!

Had a great time. DJ was on point with the Hip Hop & RnB dance hits. Lit crowd. Don't be scared! Drinks low priced and evenly mixed. No cover charge.
