Was there after a concert at the Rupp Arena. I had Just got a full drink and went to the bathroom and left it on the counter while my boyfriend was standing right there. Someone who worked there swiped my drink into the trash can. My bf said hey that was a full beer can you get me another one since you threw that one away. He said let me go check. He then brought back a bouncer and my bf proceeded to ask for a new beer and all of the sudden my bf is in a head lock almost and 3 other bouncers drag him out of the bar for doing absolutely nothing. Ripped his brand new shirt and gold necklace is lost.

Police told this man that he denied a real ID , and he was embarrassed and did not let that person in. Very bad experience and smacked my phone when taking this picture. Will not return and would not reccomend even if 21

Stagger Inn is always a blast, and this visit was no exception. From the moment we walked in, the energy was electric — great crowd, great music, and an atmosphere that just makes you want to stay awhile. The live music was fantastic and had everyone moving, singing along, and genuinely having a good time. The staff was friendly, quick, and kept the drinks flowing without missing a beat. You can tell this is a place where people come to relax, let loose, and enjoy the night. Whether you’re stopping in for live music, drinks with friends, or just a fun night out, Stagger Inn delivers every time. We laughed, danced, and made memories — exactly what a great local bar should be. Can’t wait to come back!
