Get to know your bartender and you'll find that they'll be very attentive. We're all people and deserve to be respected. Drinks are not expensive AT ALL unless you're cheap. That's it-Sorry.

This was on a Wednesday and it was all walks of life and all types of music from classic to new. I walked in to an older gent who was killing it to some Al Green, "Let's Stay Together" and it was smooth as butter just like the vibes here. The night only got better from there. I tried it during the later afternoon and the vibe was even more chill. There were some regulars and we chit chatted about where we were all from and funny Cooteys stories. I played some music from my seat on TouchTunes and overall had a very relaxing time. Others were playing great jams too and wow I can't remember the last time I heard Beach Boys. But I'm here for it. Just a heads up.. This is one of those spots that charges a $20 holding credit card fee. But atleast they gave me a heads up instead of throwing it on me last minute and giving me the choice of cash.

The Green Lantern was a pretty good experience overall, though it wasn't exactly my scene…read more The place has a more preppy vibe than I typically go for, and the drinks were definitely on the pricier side. That said, the venue was busy, energetic, and clearly popular with the crowd that was there. The highlight of the night was the live band. They were fantastic and brought a lot of energy to the room. The music really elevated the experience and kept the atmosphere fun throughout the evening. It did get pretty crowded, so if you're looking for a quiet place to have a conversation, this probably isn't it. But if you're looking for live music, a lively crowd, and a night out with friends, you'll likely have a good time. Not necessarily my favorite hangout spot, but still a solid experience.

Good service until they assume your drunk ngl im not the one to complain but they started to short us on alcohol after the 2nd drink, i usually go with me n my client and everything's fine but I brought my brother with me and they started to short my drink completely, ordered a vodak soda with rebull after the second it got almost completely watered down, when I ordered the drink, it had a green tint to it with the red bull, the second and third drink had completely no alcohol. I politely asked the lady if I can get a refund on the drinks and she said no she can't do that for me. I completely understand about assuming if you're drunk, but if you're willing to send back the drinks and except a payment from that point, then everything should be OK in mind, I was not drunk period, I'm not going to lie. They have good service OK it depends on what day you go to because they might be really angry when overworked but usually i give them respect, but today was not it at all. I'm sorry for posting this review, but I have to. read more

The Hidden Tavern is hands down one of the best bars around! The atmosphere is welcoming, the drinks are amazing, and the service is always top-notch. A huge shoutout to Joey, who is by far the best bartender I've ever had. He's friendly, attentive, and makes incredible drinks every single time. Whether you're a regular or visiting for the first time, Joey makes you feel right at home. I'm so glad for the positive changes that have been made recently. The service experience has improved tremendously, and I now have no problem recommending The Hidden Tavern to friends and family. Ellie and Joey are the perfect pair and always make guests feel welcome while providing excellent service. If you're looking for great drinks, outstanding customer service, and a fun place to relax, The Hidden Tavern is the place to be. Highly recommend! Thank you! read more

I had high hopes for this bar because it is close to our house...but unfortunately everything about it is AWFUL! The bartender was unwilling to make any shot specials and over-charged for the "special of the day". The atmosphere is just as horrible as the bartender. Tacky decorations, bad music, dirty restrooms...just don't waste your time with this place. I'm sure they'll be out of business and replaced by another dive bar soon enough. Here's to hoping that bar will know who to hire and who to fire. read more

I love this place! I met my fiancé here! We go all the time. Always say we won't stay out late but the bartender Jess make the best drinks and is always happy to see everyone when they walk in she makes us laugh and we always have fun she is one of the main reasons we keep going back and will continue to. All the other bartenders are great too I love the drinks they make as well but Jess always makes my tastebuds happy!!! Plus the karaoke every night is awesome too!! read more

I loved Martini Ranch's dart boards (had at least 5, plastic tip, .50 per person for Cricket which is a good deal...) Another FUN fact - there's a photo booth at the place! I think that makes it fun for everyone and worth the visit. I went on a Saturday night and it was not packed at all...however I hear that this is uncommon because the last time the band played there it was super packed! Drinks are cheap, bough a large draft dos equis, red bull and vodka, vodka tonic, and 2 bud lights for $16. It gets smokey fast. And I think they had a crockpot on the side for hot dogs w/ all the trimmings...but I didn't investigate. *If you're going south on West from 410, it'll come up quickly on your left...
