I love "dive bars". I always have. I like a place that is friendly, unassuming, casual,…read moreinexpensive, and just good vibes. This is one of those places. The 1st few times I went to Sunset, I went in alone. As a young woman, I felt comfortable and safe. Everyone was friendly, and very welcoming. By the second time I came in a few people remembered me by sight and even a couple by name. The drinks are reasonably priced if not a bargain. There are some nice pool tables. The noise level is low, just casual conversation, banter, and laughter. The lights are dimmed and there is bar seating as well as small tables on two levels. The staff is personable and attentive. There is one elephant in the room that has some people steering clear. It is a smoking bar. If you can't handle that, maybe this place is not for you. I figure, the bar is casual so no need to dress up and I take a shower and wash my clothes no matter what at the end of the day. I recommend this bar for anyone looking for a casual relaxing environment to enjoy a drink.

I have been a loyal customer at Lakers Inn for years and have always loved the regular staff, which…read moreis the only reason I'm even taking the time to write this. What happened tonight was beyond unacceptable. I brought a group in to celebrate our niece's 21st birthday. The second we walked up to the bar, the bartender--an absolute piss boy--already had a nasty, cocky attitude. He was openly mocking customers while laughing with his little boytoy sitting at the bar, clearly more interested in performing for his friend than doing his job. We politely asked for a pitcher of Hazy. He immediately snapped, "WHICH BEER? Are you literally even using your ears?!" We calmly repeated that we wanted the Hazy. He then yelled, "Yo, are y'all fucking deaf?" We were visibly shocked and confused, still trying to communicate clearly while being verbally abused. He then proceeded to pour the wrong beer. When we said, "Sir, we said the Hazy," he threw a tantrum--dumped the beer out aggressively, threw his hands up, and got visibly angry like a child being corrected. He then screamed, "I SAID HOW MANY GLASSES--CAN'T YOU HEAR?!" The entire time, his boytoy was laughing hysterically, and the bartender kept looking over at him for validation like a middle school kid trying to impress his crush. It was humiliating, uncomfortable, and embarrassing to witness. When he finally asked what else we wanted, we were ordering a Malibu pineapple for our niece. As we quickly double-checked with her, he screamed again, "Hurry the fuck up and tell me what you want." Immediately after, he and his little friend celebrated--laughing, dapping each other up, and acting like being a complete asswipe to paying customers was the highlight of their night. For context, we are bartenders ourselves who work down the street. We are patient, respectful, and extremely generous tippers--especially to industry staff. We don't expect smiles or special treatment, but we do expect basic human decency. What we experienced was vile, aggressive, and completely unprofessional. This piss boy should not be allowed behind a bar, and frankly appeared intoxicated or otherwise unfit to be serving alcohol. One employee single-handedly ruined what should have been a special night and seriously damaged the reputation of a place we've supported for years. Do better.

My husband got the steak and cheese and it was also surprisingly delicious. At one point we asked for ketchup and never got it. So, good food, not great service.

It was a nice day, so I opted to sit outside and enjoy the weather. Even though there were plenty of other diners on the patio, my waitress seemed to forget about me. It took about 20 minutes after I was done eating to get my tab and that's after I waived down another waitress. Back to the food. The Caesar is always delicious and good go to. It's a decent portion and comes with delicious bread. I love the crinkle cut fries, so I always order a side to go with my salad. I don't remember my drink, but it was super syrupy and reminded me of cough syrup. This was likely just an off day and I'll give them another shot next time I'm in town.

We had a great time at Iron Horse! We just came here for drinks and live music…read more The place looks big. It looks like it's broken up to two sections. There's games in the back, an area for musicians to perform live music, and one bar area. It didn't look like there were servers, and there was one line for the bar, so we assumed that in order to get a drink, we needed to line up at the bar, which we did. The live band was great. They played a few covers that everyone was familiar with. The crowd seemed to have a great time dancing. There were people at the dance floor at all times. I'm not sure if this is a local's spot or if everyone was just super friendly, but it seemed like a lot of the crowd knew each other. Great place to hang out at night with some live music and drinks.

The band is incredible. The food is good. The young man pouring water and bussing table is VERY attentive and does a great job. The rest of the service is horrible. Tonight I was seated at 5:45 PM. At 6:30 I still had not been greeted by my waitress. When she was at the next table, I waved her over. She waved back but didn't take come to my table. At 6:45 I went to the bar in the next room and had a beer poured in about 90 seconds. At 7:15 I saw my waitress at an order entry kiosk so I got up, walked over, stood behind her for about 5 minutes while she was entering orders. Finally, I tapped her on the shoulder and told her I'd like to order dinner. She said she'd be right over as soon as she got her orders entered "I Promise!" At 7:45, TWO HOURS after being seated, I left, without ever having a chance to order. My previous three visits I found service to be very, very slow. Tonight it was horrible. There were two waitresses for the entire room. I didn't count how many were seated, I'm guessing around 70. Two waitresses who were running their butts off but couldn't keep up. This is a management issues, not the case of lazy or inept waitresses. When I was standing behind my waitress, waiting, I observed she was entering the orders into their order system. She had already copied everything down on a paper pad, now she had to re-enter it onto their system. Most companies give their waiters / waitresses an iPhone like device where the order is entered and transmitted to the kitchen. One and done. This place makes them do it twice. Completely wasted 10 to 12 minutes. The inefficiency of the order entry system coupled with a grossly understaffed waiters/waitresses results in frustrated customers. In my four visits, my observations are the same. Not enough waitresses, inefficient systems, slow kitchen. After my departure, I went to Texas Roadhouse. 90 seconds after sitting down my waitress was there to take my drink order. Beer in less than 2 minutes. Placed my order, 2 or 3 minutes later my salad arrived. 12 - 15 minutes after finishing my salad my rib eye arrived, cooked perfectly. $55 I planned to spend at Iron Horse went to Texas Roadhouse. I observed at Iron Horse most of the tables around me received their drinks no less than 45 minutes after ordering, followed by meals 30 minutes after that. Restaurants make a lot of profit with drinks. They are missing the boat big time. 45 minutes with nothing in their hand could have resulted in two or three drinks, vs. one during the 3 hours of music. I'm done with Iron Horse. 40 minutes driving each way, $7 to park and horrible service. There are lots of restaurants with good music, good food AND good service.
