Hey there–
Just wanted to let you know that you guys are doing a great job turning the bar around and making it a fun place to hang out at again. We are long-term patrons (10+ years) who had stopped enjoying ourselves at the Stop in recent years, so it’s great to actually look forward to a night out at the bar again. Had a great time conversing with Rick in the Short Stop last night, and just really enjoying the improved mood of the place across the board—both staff and patrons are starting to have fun again, and a strong sense of community is returning. Keep up the great work!
David & Adikus
who is the bar manager and how can i get hold of him/her?
You can get the manager on duty by calling the bar phone number and asking for whoever is on shift- depending on what you need they’ll either be able to help you or put you in touch with who can.
What time does kockstrap night start on Monday – is there a clothes check?
Things usually start around 10pm- The bartender will give you a bag for your belongings and they stay behind the bar until you ask for them back.
Visiting form out of state. What’s the dress code for Jockstrap night? Is it just jockstrap and boots or do guys keep their jeans / leather pants on?
There isn’t a dress code, per se:
If you feel comfortable getting down to your jock (and boots/shoes) you’re certainly welcome to do so. If you feel more comfortable in your streetwear/leather/jeans, that’s ok too.
There are two floors open on Mondays, so you can find your perfect fit.
So for Jock Strap Night, things get going around 10. Is it okay to get down to my jock earlier? Because of my work schedule, I can’t stay out too late. Thanks!
It’s all up to your comfort level; some people find that they’re more comfortable in a jock when other people are also in a jock; some people don’t care at all! Just depends on how you’re feeling about it, but you’re always welcome to rock the jock, regardless of the day!
I wanted to know about underwear night? what floor is that located on and are you able to wear a tanktop w the underwear or is it bottom half underwear only attire?
Underwear night (Wednesday) is bar wide, though most people tend to gravitate towards the Pit Stop (basement bar) after 10pm. All attire is welcome; if you feel more comfortable in a tank top, wear a tank top.
Been meaning to stop by, never been before but heard great things.
Can you where a speedos on underware night and do you have like a certain age restriction like 18
The Bike Stop is 21+
Hey can someone tell me what underwear night is all about….i was thinking of going for the 1st time and curious what were the rules…
Can you get down to your underwear on the weekends or is it only a Wednesday thing?
Michael and Dave-
The rules are come on out and have a good time; if you feel comfortable getting down to your undies, feel free. There’s a complimentary clothes check to make sure your clothes/etc stay safe. Nudity isn’t allowed, so as long as your underwear totally covers you, you’re good to go.
And yes- you’re welcome to get down to your underwear/jock any night of the week, but you may be the only one. Who knows, maybe you’ll start a trend!
