Reviews for Drivers Sports Cafe

09/23/2014 - customer
Drivers Sports Cafe is the biggest dive bar in Johnson County. It is run by the son of the owner who lives in in Emporia and is never in the bar and a friend of the son named Pete. The bar has dark tint on the windows giving off a bad vibe that keeps most people away. This bar has fierce competition in the area. There are no lights on the patio so it looks closed at night. There is no one in there for lunch and on any given week night you are lucky to find more than 5 customers in there. The female bartenders are often left alone at night for hours at a time. Jeb is the owners son and he is a nice guy but is only in there during the day. Pete is his partner and runs the bar at night. The bar is only busy during the Chiefs and K State game. When Pete is there he is normally extremely intoxicated. He puts on rap music on the juke box that is degrading to women with the "N" word in it. He often shouts the F bomb across the bar with total disregard for the customers. He leaves his female bartenders in there for hours at a time by themselves! On a recent week-end night there was the bartender and one customer in there from 9:30 pm until 12:30 am until Pete came in drunk in a cab with five of his extremely intoxicated friends. He started yelling at the bartender to call her friends to get some people in there. They do no advertising and he thinks it is the responsibility of the bartender to bring customers into the bar. Patrons often argue and shout at the top of their lungs and use the F bomb, the N word among others. On a recent night Pete and the cook named Phil who was behind the bar were playing spin the bottle and took their shirts off. How this place stays in business I will never know.
