Description

Though its name is right out of an action/sci-fi flick, Area IV is actually a down-to-earth, delightful dive located on the western boundary of the Princeton Heights neighborhood. We couldn't help but notice a theme here: A staggering number of police badges line all four walls of the interior, the bartender looks like a cop and there's even a small party of off-duty lawmen hunched conspiratorially over a corner table. Although sports play on the television mounted above the bar, the real entertainment is found in the patrons. The bartender smiles and rattles a pair of handcuffs at a woman who ostensibly just told a lude joke. There's an infectious cheer in the air here. Just remember to mind your pints and quarts; otherwise, you might be leaving in a squad car.

    I've been going to this bar since June 2010, always had a good time & thougtt the people were nice. Bust recently I had an experience I was not pleased with at all. There was a woman who had her car side swiped while parked on Hampton & she took it out on an innocent woman in the bar who was concerned. This woman called the other woman nasty names, so I defended the woman being called the names. This woman's name is Laura, & Laura has never been nice to me even though I was always nice to her. The bartender named Kelly jumped my shit. She was being nasty to me telling me I needed to calm down & stop. First of all, I was not being out of line about the situation as all. I was as calm as could be, I just couldn' see this nice innocent woman being yelled at by this rude woman who was taking it out on her because her car got side swiped on Hampton. The bartender named Kelly was very rude & ignorant to me because I stuck up the the woman being yelled at by this other woman, who I find rude & ignorant every time she's in the bar. So I'm not ever going in that bar probably at all, especially if Kelly is working in there. I have been a very royal, nice & cool customer, but after this incident I will not be returning. I will not tolerate some stupid bartender treating me this way.
