If there were a 4.5 Star option, this would be it…read more I had no clue that this place existed, though I was aware of the Golden Nugget that existed here before it. A recent trip to Hooligan's brought a card for the March 9th Artisan Fair to my attention, and I found myself interested and present on 3.9.2019. The parking lot is massive. On this day it was quite full. There was a pretty decent Artisan Fair set up ($10 entry fee) and an outdoor band. As the outdoor band finished, an indoor band would begin, and it was actually very well thought out. I am not sure that they do this alternating indoor/outdoor thing all of the time, but it was very cool. Also, the genres of each indoor and outdoor band were quite different. They have a fair "full bar" selection. However, my reason for the 1 star subtraction is that, I would think in my humble opinion, that a "drafthouse" should: 1) Offer a broader variety of draft beer 2) Offer a larger size of draft beer than 10 oz I understand an 8oz or 10oz pour of a Stout, but I am talking 10oz pour of Michelob Ultra. I imagine that the bartenders know this, as they immediately default to bottles when one orders a beer. I think the most perplexing thing is that they actually have solo cups, but they do not use them for beers or mixed drinks, it seems. The inside is actually really cool. And while they do not offer free pool as the previous reviewer stated, it is only .75 a game, and the equipment is quality. They also offer electronic gaming, darts, shuffleboard, Big Game Hunter, and have the Breathalyzer machine too. A roll of quarters would offer hours of fun. The place was vibrant. Once again, I cannot say that it was or was not due to the event, but I enjoyed the friendly company of them all. I will absolutely return, and soon. I would suggest it to any of my fellow Yelpers alike. I certainly hope that they add some size to these beers, but regardless, a great little stop.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to play pool on a Saturday afternoon (around 12pm) and…read moreI came across this place on Yelp. My first impression upon pulling up was that the building was a little further back than the others, and the parking lot was MASSIVE. When my boyfriend and I walked in we were greeted by West and the bar was pretty empty (not many bars are open that early), so we put some money in this modernized looking jukebox and set a playlist while we played pool (for FREE). After a few games our music was out, and we were out of dollars, so West played music and we continued playing. At around 3 we decided to have a drink. I was not sure what to order so I asked the bartender WEST what he recommended. NOW, here is where I was mind blown, this had to have been one of the BEST DRINKS I have ever drank in my life. Seriously, it was called the Sweet Tart and anyone who goes there HAS TO try it. I ordered 2! Then, the Bomb Pop shots are literally THE BOMB! Imagine eating an alcoholic bomb pop popsicle, we made everyone in the bar try them (yes, they were THAT GOOD). Not only were the drinks good, but they were AFFORDABLE (something that is hard to find). Anyways, moving on from the AWESOME drinks made for us by West, we then walked outside and West told us a little background on the place and the owners. It literally looked like a HUGE backyard, there was a volleyball area, giant beer pong, other games, and a fire pit (for the colder months). The owners must treat their employees good if the employee had nothing but great things to say about his boss (RARE!!). The owners did do a great job in creating an environment that will have you wanting to come back. There was even a room that had a bunch of different FREE games and shuffle board. We did not get a chance to go in there, but we WILL be back. I have been raving about this place to all of my family and friends. Even without all of the free things to do, I would without a doubt come back specifically for the drinks (ask for WEST). West was very helpful, a cool laid back dude that really made my boyfriend and I feel welcome. We left at around 7pm and I have been talking about going back since. This is a hidden gem and it really needs more reviews/credit. 5/5!

You ever pass a place a ton of times, but never go in? That is this place for me…read more Then, one fateful Friday after work, I went in. I was pleasantly surprised with the vibrancy of the place at 4:45. There were couples, regulars, singles... All of it. Everyone was so friendly, too. The bartenders, two young ladies who knew their stuff, were also friendly and seasoned. The place is bigger than it looks from the outside. You can pull in the lot and follow on the right side of the building to a larger parking lot. Warning, though: there is only room for one car in that lane, so entering and exiting can be an issue. They have a different $3 special every day it seems like, which is pretty cool. Fridays is Fireball. I didn't take advantage of it, but many did. I think I will add this spot back into my rotation. If you get the chance you should stop by. You won't likely regret it.

Very clean yet I would still consider it a dive bar. Is it the best Mexican Dive Bar in the area?…read moreQuite easily due to the very welcoming service even when your Spanish is at a 4th grade level. Drinks are cheap and there's plenty of booze to choose from all the way from top shelf liquors to wells when rent is due. It also has a decent little patio out back to support smokers that need some room to relax. Felt safe in a bit of sketchy part of town but it just adds to the character of the place. Was told that Saturday nights are the busiest so I'll be back.

As someone who works heavily in online business, customer engagement, and public-facing platforms,…read moreI understand how important professionalism and reputation are. That's exactly why this experience at Tommy's Oasis was so disappointing. Manager Amy publicly accused me of repeatedly leaving unpaid tabs from months ago, yet could not provide a single receipt, date, amount, or piece of documentation when I calmly requested proof. I even offered to immediately pay anything legitimate if records existed. Making serious accusations against customers without documentation, then refusing to provide proof while publicly banning and embarrassing them, is incredibly unprofessional and poorly handled management behavior. Businesses absolutely have the right to refuse service. What they should not do is make unsupported accusations against customers without evidence to back them up. Very disappointing experience overall.
