| - We went there for my girlfriends 21st B-Day, being it was close to home. Experience was bad from the get go.
First let me rate the bar since we have been all over town this weekend. It's a dive. The crowd is a lot of older loud people, and the karoke is beyond annoying as they have it turned up to max in a small dinky bar. For some reason the karoke and "dance floor" is right in front of the door so you need to walk through it to enter or exit...
Bartender didn't know our drink. Place is small and dirty, and was really uncomfortable to us. Compared to bars at Westgate and around the area, it wasn't very appealing and a total dive. (We went on a Saturday night) I don't understand why the place is called a "sports bar," I've been to plenty sports bars and these bars have TV's all over the place with different games all over. I think I saw maybe one TV in the corner we sat in, and one TV behind the bar?
Now our fun experience story:
We walk in, everyone stares since this bar is all dedicated to "regulars" and not very accepting to new people. We go to our friends and finally find a high top (They have maybe 4 tables all together in this place) before deciding on getting a mixed drink. My girlfriend walks to the bar and asked for a rather well known mixed drink, the bartender said "I don't know what that is" so she explained it to her. After that she demanded our ID's as expected since we are young, though I wasn't even at the bar when she ordered, but I still handed to her. She looks at it and then decides to not accept it because my girlfriend doesn't have the horizontal license yet, after staring at it for a few minutes. My girlfriend explained the law and that she has 30 days as she is waiting for her new license since they don't send it overnight, but the bartender had no will to listen at all and turned us away. Granted we've been to 4 bars, several restaurants, stores, and other places to celebrate her 21st b-day and not a single one had a problem. They all simply looked and said "be sure to get it updated in 30 days" once again proving it's okay, but this bar for some reason didn't want to listen to us about the grace period.
After that we went and sat by our friends thinking whatever we will just wait a bit then go somewhere else. They offered to just get the drink for us. Nope. Within a minute the bartender wouldn't allow any of them (in their 30's) to get a drink while we are there. Then a minute later a guy comes up to my girlfriend and says "If you are not 21 you need to leave" She turned and said "I AM 21..." but he walked away....
Right after that I simply said "let's just go, the place sucks anyways." I turned to our friend that was trying to buy us a drink and got my 20 dollars back and left. We left to go to other bars that night, all of which didn't have a problem with her ID at all. It's a stupid law as-is, but come on bars like this should be prepared for people that just turned 21 and want to have a few drinks. Their loss, not ours.
We are young, but we spent over 60 bucks at a bar in Westgate the day before (Way better sports bars!), and we were willing to spend money at this dive, but nope we will never go again. I will say Gallagher's is in the same shopping center (just around the corner in the parking lot) and is much nicer, so if I were you, I'd just go there.
Only reason I wrote this review was because we went for her birthday and they were a pain about it, and she got kind of mad. How the hell do you get a horizontal license within a day? It makes no sense. Every other place was respectful of it, even offering her free drinks(Usually cheap shots) and making us want to come back in the future.....
