I've been coming here on Saturday nights for almost two years. Jennifer is the regular bartender. She is always friendly, attentive and works very hard, no matter how busy.
This Saturday (2/24/2024), there was another female bartender that I've never seen before. I arrived at 9:25pm, sat at the bar and ordered my drink. The bartender had a bad attitude from the start. I was patient, watched the TVs and waited almost 10 minutes before she finally returned. She didn't bring my drink but instead asked if I was alone. I said, "yes." She then rudely asked me to move over a seat -- there were 3 empty bar stools and I was sitting on the middle one. I turned around and saw that there was a couple behind me. I had no problem moving so they could sit together and would have gladly offered to slide over if I saw them. BUT, as a patron, I shouldn't be asked by the bartender to move since I was there first. I did move over anyway, the couple sat down, and the bartender walked away.
Another 5+ minutes passed, and the woman next to me raised her hand to get the bartender's attention. The bartender came back over, glassy-eyed AF, and asked me, "What did you order again...I forgot?" I was MORE THAN PATIENT. I had already waited 15 minutes to be served. I told her my drink again, and by the look in her eyes, it was like nothing registered with her. So I repeated it. She said that she heard me the first time, gave me a dirty look, and walked away.
The Corral was my first stop of the night. I didn't have a drop of alcohol before arriving, but it was obvious that the bartender had waaaaaay too much alcohol or was under the influence of something.
I had the pleasure of meeting a woman in October or November of 2023 who said that she was the owner of Corral. She told me that she came in town from Arizona to cover the bar because Jennifer was camping that weekend. We conversed for almost an hour. She put credits in the jukebox and offered to let me play songs.
Jennifer and the owner are both very welcoming. Unfortunately, it only takes one sloppy, unprofessional bartender who drinks too much on-the-job, to lose a regular customer. There are many other places to spend my money.
