Yea unfortunately

How can i find out if they are hiring? & how old do you have to be to work there as a waitress?

Make sure you have your TABC license as well

Is there food there

No, but the bartenders have all the menus to near by restaurants that deliver

News flash update. Once again those that sit on the bench screw those that dont. Hence drinker beware. Water instead of Vodka for those they feel they just dont like. Beware. Not the first time and doubt it will be the last . When you call them out on their water for vodka and who knows what else , they just simply ban you from coming back. Now you know.

Bartenders are very slow & extremely unprofessionally. Do NOT waste your time here if you want to have a good night.

I've been going to this bar since it opened. The brother and sister team that owned it then were spectacular and I hope that they still do. They make it friendly and warm. God I miss going there alot.

Cheap drinks, friendly staff. Stays EXCESSIVELY smokey. Typical neighborhood dive but a $2 well makes this a must on the way home. Serve snacks but not a real menu.

There's whiskey and beer -- also less masculine drunkard acutramants such as gin, possibly white claw. I was served immediately so that's a huge plus. Also for the hard core nicotine addict there is smoking allowed inside -- also a plus. Lastly, I saw a golden tee game next to the billards tables. Oh one more thing. Möntly Crüe is playing currently. So over all a good to great choice for the area.

Typical dive bar with regulars and random stragglers. They have karaoke on the weekends. Prices are on par with other bars in the area. Large variety of beers and the bartenders can make pretty much any drink you order. There is not kitchen, but they do not have a problem (as long as you're not a slob) if you order a pizza or bring other fast food. The staff is nice and friendly. They do have a "bouncer" at the door checking ID to keep the young ones out, but he's an extremely cool person. The owner and his wife are at the bar most of the times and will chat with you. There are enough TV's all over the bar, smoking inside is allowed, and they have a decent patio. Overall satisfied and always look forward to come to Benchwarmers whether it is for one beer or for more.
