| - CK's, why did it take so long for me to write a review on you? Perhaps I have taken your awesomeness for granted.
I am always critical of neighborhood bars. Read my reviews, I'm critical of everything. Believe it or not, I've even been called an asshole. The thing is, I really don't have anything bad to say about this place. I hope the owner/manager reads this because the only way a local bar survives is with repeat business, and you sir and/or madam, have earned mine. I will now use my college education to cite with examples:
Here is one thing you are kicking ass and taking names at Dirty Harry style. (did I fire five chicken wings or six? In all the confusion, I have kind of lost track myself) Daily specials. Not only are they awesome, they never change. Nothing pisses me of more than expecting something, driving down, and it is different. I have been coming in for quite a while on Tuesday nights with one of my friends. We always order the same thing (by the way, 40 cent wings on Tuesday and HUGE beer for $2.50...bring that shit on)
That leads me to your servers. Usually, we are lucky enough to have the same one, and she is frigging awesome. Knows our regular order, walks up, takes the menu's away, jokes and says "I know what your order is!" and brings it. (extra buck or two on the tip just for that) Even if we have another server, they are always polite, attentive, and friendly. Not coming up every 5 minutes bothering me or being non-existent. Seems like they wait until you are 75 percent done with your drink and THEN ask if you want more. Perfect. They attack with military precision few possess.
Longest I think I have probably ever waited for my wings was 10 minutes. Maybe.
Had a family birthday party here a few months ago on a weekend night and they made things VERY easy and everything was organized.
Still on the subject of the servers, seems like there is virtually no turn over here and the wait staff seems like they actually enjoy their jobs, not like my job and unlike some other bars where the employees are bitchy and seem like they would rather stab you in the throat than take your order. CK's does not possess the bitchiness and violent tendencies as previously described.
Other good points condensed in cliff note form:
-Bands 3 nights a week with no cover. Awesome.
-The video games actually work. Nothing pisses me off more than cramming a few dollars into playing big buck hunter and the fucking gun is broken. Or golden tee and the goddamn wheel is lopsided. The "claw machine" actually has prizes you can win that are big enough for my dogs to at least have more than 5 minutes tearing up before I have to take it away.
-pool tables aren't crooked or ripped up felt. All required balls are present and accounted for (it is amazing how many bars think two or three balls missing is acceptable)
-Bathroom is free of the typical "lake of piss" found under urinals or the crapper. Also very little graffiti on the stalls.
-I don't think I have ever seen a dirty table here longer than 60 seconds. Nicholas Cage can't even steal a car that fast.
-Patrons here seems to have a much lower douche bag ratio than most neighborhood bars. Still there, just lower.
-They serve Pabst cheap (honestly I can't drink that ghetto piss but my Dad loves it and that is why he comes here)
-They have that awesome trivia shit on the TV's.
Bad points about this place:
..............I'll edit this if I ever come across any. Until then, this section stays blank.
Keep up the good work!
