Sipango Lounge

10 dollar minimum on card=0 tip for bartenders and a big fuck you to owner/​management. Your telling me I have to spend 25 bucks on average cocktails? Dave… fuck off staight up… fuck off your greedy pos!

I give it 5 stars for the bartenders. The dude in the fruity shirt tried to make us leave the parking lot. It is on city property. It isn’t even his property. I will try to show wher3 we were parked. He told the black dude to bring a weapon out. I am from Arizona, so I have open carry rights. He could have been shot. Be careful guys. They are violent after 2:00pm. Done deal.

This place has the worst bar staff in the city. The chik with the bright hair and big boobs… don’t think you’ll get a drink from her unless you’re a dude. Their security is a joke. I was being harassed by a super drunk dude who ended up getting physical with me and they didn’t even bother to kick him out. Their beer selection is awful and they wildly overcharge for their «drinks» (97% ice 2%mix 1% alcohol). I will never go back here again. Also they apparently opted out of the western avenue improvements so they still look like a total $&*#hole compared to everything else in the neighborhood. I wish it would close already not to mention the drunks that walk in the street coming from there are always fun.

This place is a complete joke. Not only was the service poor and drinks watered down they also overcharge your tab. So if you are forced into having drinks at this **** hole bar DO NOT use your debit card! Or better yet go across the street to the Barrel better drinks and less chance of being ripped off.

So I think Sipango gets a bad rap sometimes. Let’s state the bad: the crowds are very mixed and it can sometimes get loud and rowdy. They could use more bar staff. The good: everyone has always been nice and welcoming to me and my friends. The drinks are always good when you can get them. The jukebox is one of those touch tunes and they have about any song you are looking for to play. There is a pool and darts and they have big tables that are always nice for groups. I’ve enjoyed my time or two being at this establishment and would recommend people to stop by if they are perusing the western strip.

Avoid at all costs. Terrible management/​ownership. The short guy with a loud mouth will ruin your night.

The two stars sums it up I suppose. It is very meh and I have certainly experienced better, even for dive bars. I somehow end up here with friends every now and then but considering I’ve found out how much Patrick dislikes it, I probably won’t be returning. I thought it was okay before, but after realizing that a bottle of PBR is $ 4, I was astonished, pissed off even. PBR is usually the cheapest beer you can buy anywhere, and I prefer it to Coors Light or Bud Light, which both were cheaper and made me question their pricing. That really just rubbed me the wrong way. There are several bars in the area that are better quality and price!

I’m so done with this place. Every time I decide to give it a shot, I wish I would have just veered my car into a telephone pole on the drive up to the Sip. It’s loud… actually, it’s obnoxiously loud. I usually like the weird crowds at some of the smaller bars I go to, but this crowd is the wrong kind of weird. The people are either the type that should be seen at a Henry Hudson’s, or those rowdy college guys that chest bump and say «brah» after every statement.
Also, a bottle… ONE DAMN BOTTLE… of PBR is $ 4.50. I’m sorry, but I can go a mile down the road to The Drunken Fry and get a PBR and a shot for $ 5. I can’t speak for the bartenders as I was never really able to see them because of how packed the Sip was.
Unless my lady is just dying to go here, I will never go to this place again.

This is really a bar you go with a group of friends not alone or you might be lonely. For woman it’s not the greatest since it’s typically filled with men. They have pool, darts, ping pong and fun ;) it is quite smokey and a little grungy. The down is the music is on your dollar in a high tech juke box on the wall. On a positive the drinks are pretty reasonably priced

If you are looking for a BAR Sipango is definitely that… You know the kind of night when you just want to hunch over a bar? I don’t mean go to a bar to have a good time but go somewhere and truly HUNCH OVER stare at a booze soaked, polyurethane covered wooden surface inches in front of your face and not be bothered? Possibly hear some good tunes on a the juke box that take you back to a different time in your life that you remember with melancholy?
Strangely enough I had a variation on one of those nights last night. Not on purpose as I have done in the past but sort of randomly and I was glad Sipango was there. Yes, it was smoky and my eyes will burn in the morning. I will wake up and smell my clothes from last night on the floor, but clothes will wash and eyes will clear and there will be a little spot on the NW corner of 42^nd and Western I know that I can go and enjoy a good hunch.
The type of nights described above are best enjoyed on weekdays as most bars, Sipango included, can get a little rowdy on weekends. It should also be noted that Sipango has a ping pong table which they actually use to play ping pong on. I can’t speak for if it has ever been used for other games but I surely hope not.

Yup its a hole in the wall, grungy hang out. Not my typical crowd, but still an interesting place to enjoy the juke box and have a few drinks while people watching. It IS VERY smokey. I say go, atleast for last call or a sunday drink.

The bar seems like it could be fun it has a ping pong and pool table, however it also has a punching meter which only seems to add fuel to the macho clientele that’s goes there. The bartenders are very slow and often times rude on top of that. I have yet to go here and not see a fight break out.

Cool kids need not apply. If you want killer house beats so you can dance, don’t come here. Keep your «faux-​hawks» and Ed Hardy gear downtown, and out of this bar.
Wait, nevermind, please come so my friends and I can have someone to make fun of.
If you want to drink with normal people and listen to a good jukebox (no house, please), this is your bar.

sipango has now crossed generations… but not much has changed except people’s outfits. and here, that might not even be the case.
the time to go to sipango is late. like after 10 or 11 at least, and on the weekend. otherwise, it is very hit or miss. go early on any day it is just a drunk bar.
having said that. i fucking love sipango, and will visit this weekend when i’m in town. he always has some hot chic with nothing on serving me pacificos.
i’m a simple man.

Best bar ever…
Mike hires the hottest ladies to tend bar, and they are always clad sparingly! the ping pong table is always a nice option when drinking, and don’t be scared to play beer pong, or circle of death on it either, that is totally legal. Really this is the most laid back bar in town, the only thing i have ever seen someone be admonished for is standing in the booth.
this isn’t a cocktail bar, though they do make a mean cape cod, emphasis on the word mean, they will sneak attack you and leave you in a bad way the following morning.
there are beautiful people, 50 year old drunks, hipsters, pretentious twits, and average joes.
it is the greatest.
if you want a bar to get seriously drunk in, this is it. if you want to play trivia during happy hour, this is it. if you want to have a birthday party, this is it. if you want to meet new people, this is it.
the only reason why you wouldn’t like it is if you expected it to be something it isn’t, it is not pretty, it is not fancy, and it certainly isn’t for the cool carpet kids.
~full disclosure, i live two blocks away and can walk home after completely destroying my liver, so that is a part of why i l.o.v.e. love it.

Sipango’s is what it is. It’s a rowdy sports bar when there’s a game on and it’s a happenin’ party spot when there’s not. It’s packed to the brim usually on Friday & Saturday evenings with a fun crowd usually. The jukebox is quality as well. Need more beer though.

Drinks are stiff, shots are tall and the bartenders are good looking. The bartenders are easy on the eyes but rude, slow and not very knowledgeable about much beyond their cup size. No tap beer is pretty big draw back for me. Darts, good jukebox, ping pong, cracked vinyl bar booths, cheap drinks and heavy smoke make an almost authentic dive bar scene. The clientelle is umm… interesting, fun and rowdy but also… Let’s just say I would be surprised if at least one of the guys that frequents The Sip isn’t featured on

This place used to be cool. It used to be a dive. Now it’s full of preps and sorority girls. boo!
