Wxou Radio Bar

My favorite bar!

by JohnW at Citysearch

This is a straight-up bar. A really great jukebox which is actually updated from time to time. The prices are ridiculously good - especially at happy hour which starts every day at 3pm (1pm on Sat & Sun). The bartenders pour a stiff drink and often introduce newcomers to interesting regulars! Enjoy!

• Pros: Prices, ambiance, bartenders, jukebox
• Cons: Crowded on the weekends

Terrible service

by clarohh at Citysearch

The bartender here was incredibly rude and angry. I've never ever experienced anything like it anywhere. We went to WXOU thinking it would be a nice place to have a low-key drink or two and relax in one of the booths. Boy, we were we wrong! We hadn't been there in a few years and it has definitely changed for the worse. My friend made the mistake of trying to pay for $1.50 worth of her tab in quarters. Yes, it's annoying to get a pile of change, but the guy working there overreacted and had total freak out about it. It was really, really weird. As soon as he started yelling at her, I handed her $20 to pay with but apparently that was too late. He refused to take the cash and then wouldn't serve her. When I tried to order a drink, he yelled at me and then proceeded to ignore everyone in our party. I wouldn't go back until they get some new help behind the bar.

Sometimes you wanna go...

Great neighborhood place to have a beer. Friendly bartenders with generous portions. Good box of tunes and two tv's to watch the yanks on. The happy hour is very reasonable and you can't beet the two front tables by the window for people watching.

• Pros: all around bar for all seasons in the west village.
• Cons: not a good friday night place if you're hoping to hear your date.
