★★★★★ 5.0 Patrick Sheil · Feb 2026

I left a tote bag here featuring the face of a BEAUTIFUL pigeon. For several days I felt her calling to me. Coo, Coo, COOOOOOOOO! I went to several nearby places in an attempt to answer the call, but my missing bag was nowhere to be found. My geolocational awareness has finally failed me, I thought. Finally, I checked in at the Exley. A prolific ornithologist, Josh, asked me what the bag looked like. I described the beautiful eyes of my grandpigeon, and he immediately sprung into action. He climbed to a far away perch and found my tote bag. Nothing within it was out of place. Basically 10/10 fun spot and good place to lose things (your mileage may vary).

I went to order a drink at the bar, so I placed my order, then my friends decided that they wanted to get a drink as well, so when the bartender returned, I went to tell him. The bartender gave me a nasty look and had an attitude because I asked to add on a canned drink and 2 gin and tonics. Even when returning to close out my check, the bartender that I dealt with earlier was rude for no reason. I would not recommend this place to anyone, ANIMAL that is up the street has better bartenders and is more fun.

My brother and I were kicked out for tipping $1 on our first drink, expecting to be there for hours and spending and tipping more. The manager rudely questioned the random tip we placed and yelled at us for placing it. We offered to buy another drink and tip more but he had security kick us out for not tipping enough. Now I know I should not have left a tip at all until the end of the night, which I don’t believe the bartender/manager would have deserved anyway. If this is a problem then you should require a minimum tip amount for every purchase or not comment at all. Extremely rude service, will not be going back and would not recommend this bar to anyone.

Was having a good time with my boyfriend until the female bartender told us to move away from the bar stools so she could “serve someone else”. Not the vibes you want after spending money on this establishment
