From the community
“Great Place to hang out”
Having lived in this city most of my life, The Stage Door feels like home. It's been open longer than any other bar around. I appreciate that there are men my age to chat with. I remember disco — that dates me. I've always had a good time and found someone interesting to talk to, and I've made good friends there.

“Very dingy and dead”
I've never been inside this bar because it looks unwelcoming from the outside, and I've never seen anyone in there.
