According to many different blogs, magazines, and interviews it takes a lot of things to have a “good bar.” After doing some research and looking back on The Two Gents I think that we have all that it takes to have a good bar! Some people may disagree, but they probably work somewhere else or are just jealous. Take a look at some of the links in this post and keep those links in mind next time you come visit The Two Gents Ale House!
When we did a self-evaluation on our bar we needed something to go off of. While searching for a good bar we found two posts that stood out to us. One of the links was from Esquire and the other from Serious Eats. Esquire wrote a piece called, “9 essential ingredients that make a good bar.” After looking that over we found that even though we don’t have menus or glass wear we still meet requirements that make a good bar.7 out of 9, not too shabby (especially since we aren’t allowed to have glass ware due to our upstairs desk and the risk of glass falling off and potentially hurting someone.) Serious Eats’ blog post, “From behind the bar: What makes a good bar?” was more technical evaluation of the bar and bartenders. Community, passion, and atmosphere! I would like to go ahead and show you what The Two Gents Ale House has to offer in these categories and prove to you that we do our best to execute them every single night.
- Community – The community here at The Two Gents has grown and proven itself to be one of best in our city. The week by week and day by day clientele are what make this bar run.

- The back room and second floor deck have dance music ready for the people that want to come out, dance, drink, and party the night away.
- Our patio stage with our house band or sometimes special guests is for people that want to come out and share some good times with their friends and the band.
- Then we have our front bar with sports, draft beers, music from the top of the billboards, and some of the best bartenders to please your drinking needs.
- Passion – Our bartenders strive to quench your thirst with some of the best drinks you’ve ever tasted.

You make a compelling argument. I would have to say I look for friendly staff and reasonable prices. Good bar food doesnt hurt.

Every thing you mentioned here I look for in a good bar. Also the music is really key for me. If a bar doesn’t play the music I like I wont stay long for the most part.
