Received a last minute invite to drink with friends for someone's birthday at Durango Lodge. I've driven through this street hundreds of times and not once have I ever notice the existence of this place. Exterior of this place isn't really eye catching but it still brings in business because of the locals nearby.
The moment I stepped in, I was surprised by the crowd. Expected it to be full of regular Joes and gambling seniors but it was filled with hipsters and attractive ladies (well maybe just this night so don't think I have a bad taste if otherwise!). It's very dim even though with all the TVs surrounding the bar area. The server and bartenders were welcoming and easy to converse with.
While everyone else was drinking, I just ordered the country fried chicken smothered in gravy which came with potatoes and salad on the side. It was alright, nothing great because it's the brown gravy that I crave but instead they poured white gravy on it so the taste just didn't do it for me.
The pool tables are freaking small. I looked around but I didn't see and midgets or kids so I guess the pool tables are just small without a purpose. This place is ok to hang in if you live nearby but I wouldn't come back here unless if there was a reason to.
