Floyd's Thirst Parlor

This bar has a lot to offer! Great old-school, traditional bar atmosphere. The bartender was friendly and made us excellent Old-Fashioneds.* There's a huge game room upstairs, and a round of air hockey was the perfect finish to our night out.

*Old-fashioneds date back to at least 1806!

The fucking bouncer was a dick. I went with my brother who just wanted to use the bathroom after we ordered a drink, and he was glued to our backs the whole time we were there. All I did was help my brother up the stairs to find the bathroom, and he forced us to leave after he accused my brother of stumbling up the stairs. He wouldn't even let him use the bathroom before he made us leave. He didn't even let us have our drink that we paid for, I have never been treated with such disrespect at any other bar I have been to.

Downstairs has a decent bar. Naturally it can be loud and crowded, or dead, depending on the day of the week. But what sets Floyd's apart is the game room upstairs. Air hockey, ski-ball, darts, pinball, and probably some other games I can't quite remember haha. It's a pretty famous place around town; everyone knows Floyd's, so swing by and check it out.

Best place to go in Springfield! The bartenders were friendly and they have such a cool space for hanging out!

Tried to book a party at Floyd's, but after three phone calls with no response over two months I gave up.

Cherry-tini started off good and then it started to get extra sweet and reminded me of cough syrup. Feels like a college bar and not being a college student you start to notice things more than you would if you were in college.
1. People wear anything out
2. Strong drink doesn't equal good drink
3.Sometimes you want to hear your friends talk
4.You really only want to hear stuff you like
5. Bar floors are ridiculously gross (someone tell the barefoot chick please)

I lived in Springfield for 11 months and I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy. There isn't much to do there and I spent most of my time after work drinking. And Floyd's was my favorite place to do that.

I'm not really sure why I like Floyd's so much. The price of drinks is pretty standard in Springfield, so it's not like it's much cheaper than anywhere else. I will say that their shots are not that cheap (and I love shots). Beer is the best way to go, since they have pretty cheap drafts and specials. I do really like Graham as a bartender, and Jamie and Vanessa are very friendly. I frequented Floyd's pretty often when I first moved to Springfield and always had good service.

Upstairs is also an additional bonus. There are random games, foozeball, air hockey, etc. And there are always places to sit. If you want to just chill or hang out with a group of friends, Floyd's is a nice place to go. But if you want to get crazy, just stay home and drink. It's cheaper and you don't run into Springfield weirdos on the street.

Downstairs serves the most innovative cocktails in Springfield. Awesome selection of craft beers rotating on tap, obviously lovingly hand-picked. Ran by great, local guys who are community minded. Upstairs has a completely different vibe that seems to appeal to a younger crowd, especially on the weekends.

This place is one of the dopest in downtown Springfield to get your drinky drink on. Rub elbows with locals and legislators looking to get sloppy drunk.

Expect heavy pours, cheap drinks and bowls of Chex mix if you ask nicely. Make sure to tip your servers or I'll open a can of whupass on you.

Not a fan - rude staff and overpriced mixed drinks/shots do not make for a good bar.
No food either....
Very dark in side and bathroom was disgusting. Floors throughout entire place were filthy. Maybe that's why they keep it so dark in there!
I would not recommend this place. Move on to something nicer....
