I stopped into Cellar Dweller recently, and I left feeling really unsafe. During my visit, I witnessed what looked like suspicious exchanges between some customers that made me extremely uncomfortable. I don’t know what was actually happening, but the vibe felt unsafe enough that I decided to leave almost immediately.
On top of that, the atmosphere from the staff—especially some of the bartenders—came across as intimidating rather than welcoming. Instead of feeling helped or reassured, I felt brushed off and even a bit threatened when I tried to express concern. The bartenders most likely moving illicit weight out of the establishment. They don’t want anyone who doesn’t participate in criminal activities.
I don’t feel this environment is being managed in a way that keeps customers safe. I hope the owners take a serious look at what’s going on, because as it is now, I can’t recommend visiting. I actually plan to file a crime stoppers tip with local law enforcement
