| - 1st experience - Came with a group of friends to watch a football game. I called prior and the girl I spoke with said, "Absolutely you can watch your game. Sit down in front of any screen and if no one is watching something, we'll gladly put it on for you." 11 of us went out of the way to come here. We sat in front of the biggest screen where no one else was. We hunt down (no one acknowledged us after a solid 5 minutes; a group of sports fans in jerseys!!) ask to put our game on and are told, "Sorry, we pull the screen down to put on the UNLV game which will block that TV. You can watch your game on the screen up in the corner (like a 32" in a high corner)." I have a much larger screen and nicer all around setup at home. We came for a fun atmosphere with drinks, but were turned away.
Out of interest, we stayed for the beginning of the UNLV game.... not one person showed up. We left home to my house and enjoyed our game. Guess telling people you'll take care of them, make them all drive up, blow them off, is their business concept.
2nd experience - Came one evening with a close group of friends who wanted to try. We stopped by after a wonderful sushi dinner up the street. Well, we locals, only had one drink. The drinks were small, watered down, and TEN DOLLARS ($10) EACH!!! I am writing this from a nice local bar/restaurant and thought to do this as they display a couple drinks, exact same as served at BAR, for only $3!!!
This sounds like a local price.
BAR = by locals for locals... more like BAR = by locals who know how much they can squeeze out of the general local public.
It should be a place where you show your ID and if you are a local, you get like 75% (based of the high prices) off or BOGO or SOMETHING... Take care of your locals, especially with a name like this!! Alcohol is cheap. Keep customers munching, keep them entertained.... more alcohol will be purchased = more $$$ and customers who happily return and tell their friends. I'm not saying this place is not doing well. After all, it is in a location housing many deep pocketbooks, but this makes the true locals heavily disappointed.
True locals with value, go ahead and give it a try if you've never been. I, like to give all places a 2nd try to prove me wrong, but BAR has received two strikes.
Service was average, not great or poor, and the place does look really nice.
For the idea and look, I'll give them a bonus star... 2 stars it is.
