I love this place--the bartenders and staff are amazing. I went out to Tower one night for a concert, got very intoxicated, and accidentally left my wallet in an Uber on the way home. Unfortunately, the next person who was picked up in that same Uber took my wallet and stole the cash from it. The next morning, I realized my wallet was missing and contacted Uber, but the driver did not have it. Hoping for some luck, I posted on Facebook. Nicky reached out to me and said she had found a wallet that matched mine. She was incredibly kind--she even went to her closed workplace just to retrieve it and met me later that night to return it. I was honestly panicking, thinking I had lost everything, and her kindness meant so much to me. I also want to add that I am Mexican, and I believe the negative comments about this place are untrue. I've been here multiple times before and have always had positive experiences. read more

I've had bad experiences over the past year waiting for drinks at this place, tonight I waited for 4 songs and told the new girl how I've been waiting and she had an attitude and went to the owner and then the owner had an attitude with me, they say the fish stinks from the head first, and I believe it. Bars should be inviting but it rarely has been here, I've always had to wait and wait to order a drink and that's fine but then they take orders from people walking up to the bar, I've never had any issues at a bar but this place was the 1st. I only come here for karaoke dj Josh, the service is and has been absolutely terrible the last year and half and I don't expect that to change anytime soon. 1 star at best. I suggest they take a course on basic customer service... then they wouldn't need to serve $3 beers but hey it is what it is. Feel free to contact me and we can talk about basic customer service.

Racist Bartender. I had a really disappointing experience at this bar. I didn't catch the bartender's name, but she was an older, maybe in her 50's, woman wearing an American hat. My friends and I were patient and polite while waiting for service, so we were confused when she greeted us with such a rude and dismissive attitude. At first, I tried to brush it off, thinking maybe she was just having a stressful night. But then I noticed how her tone completely changed with the customers standing next to us? My friends and I jaws dropped when we noticed she was friendly and upbeat with them, which made the difference in how she treated us feel even more uncomfortable. It left us wondering if it had something to do with our race, because that's truly how it came across after watching her treat others at the bar. My friend and I felt so uncomfortable that we ended up leaving. It's unfortunate, because I honestly had high hopes for this place, but this experience really ruined it for us. read more

If you want to have a nice, friendly, courteous bartender ask for Becca. If you want the total opposite ask for Nikki. Read all the other comments below and you'll understand...Some of the comments call her racist. But she treats everyone equally poor. read more

If you are Mexican or Black DO NOT COME HERE !!!!!! I gave them a second chance gave the dj 20$ to play one song he SNATCHED my phone and STOLEEEEEE my 20$. The bartender Rebecca helped 4 people before she helped us. ( we were in line before the 4 people). read more

My go-to bar! Such good vibes and Nikki and Becca are the sweetest people! Even the security guards are fun and friendly! Josh is an amazing DJ as well! read more

BEWARE RACIST!!!!! Went in on a Friday afternoon nobody to be found working the bar. A person came out of nowhere from the back and sat at the bar. I believe he worked there. We waited a few more mins and asked him if he knew if anyone was working. He said "I hope so" We left and I'm pretty sure he didn't want to serve us. read more

Will give it zero if it's possible. Got escorted out when I didn't do anything. Someone was aggressive towards me. Even the aggressor friends said the aggressor was drunk. Got spat on and pushed aggressively. If you ain't yt be careful! read more

OHHHHHHH YEEEEEEEEAH BABY! I picked this bar at random while in this specific area of commiefornia for business/work purposes. It was a good choice I tell ya what, everything was pretty clean and I didnt think anything was over priced which is insane for commiefornia. But what made it all worth it was this Cory dude who was tending the bar, he was funny, fun and never let me sit for very long at all with an empty drink. I think when I do come back it will be because of Cory, oh and hes easy on the eyes too! read more

Love this place!! Why? One word: Nikki!!! She is an AWESOME bartender (quick, fun, GREAT personality)!! I have seen her deal with a couple MAJOR jerks (especially some D-Bag named Jeff) and she slayed!! Will keep coming back for the great atmosphere and hilarious people watching! read more

I will always come here for Nikki :) thank you for being the best bartender! Cheers !

Nikki is amazing! Great place! I'll stop in here to see Nikki when I am in CA! Best bartender in the area!

Waited 30 minutes for a drink for it to be under-poured with alcohol and the ice tastes unfiltered would not recommend this location on a weekend. read more

I traveled to CA all the way from Maryland where i am also a bartender full time and honestly the best service i've ever had at a fellow dive bar came from Nikki, she was so cool and fun! I would recommend this bar to all my friends visiting :) read more

Went in after a long day of dealing with rude people. I work at a different place but wanted a good drink. As I say down Nicole greeted me and asked me what I wanted to drink. Ordered and then just melted like goo into the bar. She talked to me about the day shift I had and made me feel like more than a customer. Nicole. Thank you. It isn't easy work especially dealing with another person from another job, but I'd pick this bar ANYTIME to see ya again and have a drink. Thank you! read more

Service here sucks ass. I asked them to check to see if my cared was there and they simple said "I'm not helping you" & refused to look for my card. Some sort of service considering it's their job to check... . Be for real. That was horrible service. Nicole (Nikki) is the worst service ever, read more

Nice little place in Old Town Clovis. It's a few doors down from Bobby Salazar's, in the same block. There is a parking lot in the back... you can enter from 5th Street. Currently, our Governor says we can only go to a bar that has outdoor seating and that serves food. Viola! Old Town Saloon has that covered! The covered patio is open in the back. You need to order some food with your drinks and for that you can call the phone number posted and order from the full menu at Bobby Salazar's. They will take your order and bring your food right to your table at Old Town Saloon! The food gets added to your bar tab, so you just settle up with your server at the bar. Speaking of servers, ours was amazing when we were there last night. Aimee was super friendly and very attentive. She suggested drinks for us and they were really good. Along with our chips & salsa and tacos from Bobby's, we had a very enjoyable evening. Come on, folks, support the local businesses...they really need us now! read more

Nikki's gives it straight and you should NOT ask for anything less!!! Keep it REAL Nikki!!! 10x raise is my recommendation with the knuckleheads you have to deal with!!! Thanks for the intro to Clovis OTS!!! read more

The Old Town Saloon - A Solid to Nikki!!! - Bars Near Me - Clovis, California

Nikki is amazing!! She was attentative, friendly, gave great recommendations and truly made the experience. We will be back!

I am quite sure that this bar continues to attract a questionable nighttime crowd. This view was affirmed by our bartender on our most recent visit. For the first time ever, the bartender said she had had a beer bottle thrown at her on a nighttime shift. However, my partner & I came here for a few early evening drinks. Social distancing was in place & there was a sneeze guard between the bartender and customers. It was a beautiful evening & I had taken my drink to the patio but was politely informed that Clovis PD do not allow drinks on the patio until it is closed off at nighttime and has security to supervise it. I do really wish they had an enclosed supervised daytime patio but I know it's not cost effective when the number of customers is about 6 total. This said, they had the doors open for ventilation, the bartender was friendly and talkative, & the drinks were reasonably priced. At night time, this place becomes a different beast. One you may never want to know. But in the early evening day light hours, it can be a pleasant dive bar experience. read more

The Old Town Saloon - Salted caramel crown royal before I was kicked out of the "prohibited" patio. - Bars Near Me - Clovis, California

Came here because a friend recommended this "great" establishment and the bartender proceeded to snap my license claiming that it was fake even though I provided a military CAC card to prove on top of my license that I was 24.... years old. Then proceeded to try to claim my military identification card gave to me by the United States navy was "fake". Just a heads up to military folk and other people be careful with this place they might just snap your ID and then claim your CAC card is "fake" read more

So there I was drinking a beer! I finished my beer and waited for the bartender for about 7-10 min for my next beer. The younger bartender maybe 25 yrs old with a full beard saw me. Made eye contact so I decided to raise my hand like " hey, I need a refill". He saw me and turned away! Mind you theres about 10 people at the bar which showed he really was not busy. He looked away, walked away and did not come in my direction. Did not serve anyone else indicating he was not busy. So I walked to the other side where the older bartender was working. The older bartender served me beer within a minute and was friendly. Approximately one hour later, I had consumed three beers. I was seated in the same place talking to some people, not bothering anyone and obviously not drunk. I asked the same young bartender for a beer and his response was, no more beers for you. He stated he was told I could not drink anymore. Mind you I only had three beers, did not argue/cause drama at the bar but for some reason he would not serve me anymore! He would not give me an answer as to why!!!!!!! I hoping the color of my skin was not an issue, but I could not come up with any other explanation because I did not do anything to piss them off and was not even close to being too drunk. I simply left the bar in disbelief . read more

Great place for hanging out and dancing on the weekend. The bartender Ryan makes the best drinks and the staff Cody and Brennan are top notch. Try the wShington Apple cocktail from Ryan. read more

The worst experience ever! Went in on a Sunday for a birthday party celebration. We were immediately whistled at like a dog and fingers snapped to go to the front to show IDs. As we were waiting to approach the bartender with a crowd waiting our turn they yelled I need to see your ID yelling and mocking doing sign language with his hands. I know sign language and he was just moving his fingers making us feel stupid yelling and talking at us like we were stupid. Was the most rudest service I had ever had. I will not recommend nor go back there. We were just waiting our turn through our group to show our IDs. Majority was white it felt like we were definitely treated differently being Mexican. If I could give a zero rating I would. read more

Honestly love this place!! I literally come here on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and I have NEVER NOT had fun. The bouncers and bartenders are so nice. I don't know why there's bad reviews but as long as you respect them and be nice you're fine. read more

Have gone here a couple times now and I honestly love it. Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommend.

The location is amazing. I've been here before and have been treated so good. But today NICKY the "bartender" was so rude. That we left because we did not feel welcomed. She was so RUDE!!!! Don't get drinks from her!!! After speaking to other WOMEN they felt the same. They said " she reacts better to men " woe ! Women can tío good too. My boyfriend and I will spend a good amount at a bar if we feel welcomed. We did not feel welcomed today. read more

Walked in with a perfectly fine DMV issued drivers license and the dude told me to leave and refused service. He was rude about it too. Said "the hologram looks kinda wonky". Took my business to the other bars nearby without any problems and my I.D. Was verified by each one. Feel like he just didn't want to serve me. read more

This place is great. Good vibes and chill people. Nikki is awesome, but everyone knows that already!

The bartenders will tell you that your card declines and tells you to take money out of their ATM for a $3 charge, even though your card works properly. Proceed with caution. read more

This place is a joke. Started out nice, but then went to get the bartenders attention so that I could pay, she proceeded to yell at me for it. So when I said she was rude to my friend, she overheard and picked a fight with me, so I said she was rude again. A female bouncer then comes over and threatens me and takes me outside. They refused to let me get my sweater and I barely got my card back. These people are unprofessional, if your staff treats a customer that way, it's not the customer that should be reaping the consequences. And from what I've seen on these reviews, I'm definitely not the first one to have a horrible experience with bad service and get escorted out for no good reason and without explanation. I'm never going to this place again, and I recommend others try to avoid it if possible. read more

The bartender tried kicking me out because I was wearing a white t shirt, no logos just a literal plain white t. He said we have a no white shirt policy you have to leave, and next to me was a Caucasian man wearing an identical t shirt. When I pointed out that the man next to me was wearing one he said it didn't apply to him cause he's a regular customer there but I felt extremely discriminated against, being THE ONLY mixed person in the bar. To top it off, the bathrooms were filthy and none of the employees were mask compliant. read more

Super fun place to go any night of the week! Always a good time and great people. Don't forget Justin Beiber once made a famous appearance here!!! read more

A wildly terrible bar. I don't have enough characters to describe how awful this place is. Rude bartenders, one super insecure security loser that has a lot of unresolved insecurities, and bad drinks. Genuinely can't tell you why people go here. Will never be coming back. read more
