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.

$20 for Weak Drinks, Free Bullying Included…read more Backwoods charges $20 for Capri Sun in a shot glass and throws in high school bullying for free. If you enjoy paying $20 for cocktails served in shot glasses while being ridiculed by the staff, this may be the perfect spot for you. The bartenders gossip more than they pour, mock customers to score points with their clique, and serve drinks so weak you'll wonder if the vodka evaporated on the way to the glass. Backwoods Bar is a great place if you've ever wondered what it's like to pay fine-dining prices for mocktails in shot glasses while being insulted for asking for regular-sized drinks. It's less a bar and more Mean Girls: Dive Bar Edition. Save your money -- CDA has plenty of places where the drinks have alcohol and the staff left high school behind.

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.

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.

No nacho cheese AND The chicken was so dry we couldn't get it down without an actual bit of liquid and it's almost like they baked the nachos - so dry and well frankly pretty gross. Waitress confirmed that they no longer do "queso" and it's been an ongoing request. Won't ever eat here again as we left 98% of the nachos on the plate and they didn't even offer a refund.
