Its a good place to go a very diverse crowd
Great philly cheesesteak and friendly crowd
Laid back, members only club with great bartenders & live music! Plenty of parking for cars & bikes... worth the trip!
Having moved back to the United States after some time abroad, I found myself missing a smokey bar. Now, I don't really smoke myself. I can't even remember the last time I drunkenly bummed a cigarette from a friend. But I love a smokey bar. I love a dive. I love a place where everyone feels like a regular. I like a bar where I feel I have to censor what I say to protect those at the bar. The Station is just such a place.
I have only been a few times now, and yes I am a member. That membership is a requirement for this glorious place to exist in all its cheap beer, good bar grub glory. And I see some people complaining about this online. To them, I say the following: "Grow up, you child." Not every establishment has to serve you on your terms. Your membership will become valid after 24 hours of submitting a form and paying a modest fee. But, what if you want some delicious wings and cold one tonight? Walk in and find yourself a member - yes, a stranger - and ask if you may be their guest for the evening. You will then buy that person their next drink because you are an adult and not a jerk. But you do not say this in advance as such a quid pro quo would be unseemly and likely frowned upon.
The beer is cold. The drinks are generously poured. The wings are good. The patrons are colorful and kind. It's a dive. It's what your Friday evening deserves.
Also. They have karaoke on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Why are we so blessed? I do not know. But thank goodness a bar like The Station can still exist in this sanitized age.
