I'll start by saying that I've had the food from this place on many occasions, when I worked at a near by Furniture warehouse in North Las Vegas. The food was always consistently good, so I decided to stop by after getting off of work early.
The bar is located in a more industrial part of North Las Vegas, nothing but factories, warehouses and truck stops. Pretty seedy, but nothing too scary for most people. Stepping in to the bar is exactly what you expect.
It's divey, to say the least. The main bar, sits in the middle of the establishment, I counted about 15 gaming machines, and about 20 stools overall, on a square shaped bar. There was a multitude of screens but not many great viewing angles. Basically the TVs in front of you is what you could see the best.
The crowd was, again what you expect. Most of the people here worked the warehouses around the area, mainly Amazon, so the bar was packed with patrons who knocked off of work early. The vibe is cool, if not a bit trashy, as there was a couple across from me constantly sucking each other's face. I try not to look at this kind of stuff, but it's there.
The girls next to me had some kind of interesting dynamic. I'm not sure if they were a couple but one was really drunk and I could tell the other girl was embarrassed.
To my left, another group of people with the one guy talking obnoxiously loud on his phone. You know, the kind of person that thinks everyone wants to hear his conversation.
The bartender, was pretty good. I could tell she was probably tired, but her service was decent. She didn't ignore the fact that I sat down and approached me and another customer in a timely manner while tending to the customers she already had their and handling her side conversations. As someone who has done this for a living, I can't stress how much skill that takes. I felt like overall Carin (that's what the name on the receipt said) service was good, she poured a good drink, and was kind and attentive when she did speak to me.
Anyway, I ordered what I usually get from here, and that is a Catfish Basket with fries. Now look, the food is reasonably priced, $8.99 for the fish and 1 dollar extra for fries, but they tack on a buck fifty if you want it to-go. I asked for it to-go of course, and the bartender asked if I wanted a drink. I ordered a shot and beer, and I indicated that I was going to play, however, I honestly should have put the money in first.
Reason being is, that I was charged off rip for my drinks and food. I don't put this on the bartender, because I don't know the comp rules for this place, and besides, I never go in strictly for comp drinks, I have cash to pay for whatever I order.
$25 bucks for the food, drinks and their $1.50 to go fee... great. Had I gone to another establishment that has fire fish and chips, I probably would have only paid for food but cool. I put in about 40 bucks into the machine, and of course I lost, and that's fine.
As I'm waiting what seemed about 15-20 minutes after I ordered, and about 5-10 minutes after my last money is played, I still don't have food. The bartender was doing other work around the bar and checking the kitchen for orders so I'm just kind of stuck waiting.
After a while my food comes, the cook plops it on a fridge or cooler near by and kind of leaves it at that. The bartender brings me my plate and I order another shot, of course I paid for this one too, again, not gonna rag on the bartender for this but jeez.
I take my food with me as an argument between make-out girl and another lady was ensuing, I'm too old for all that mess.
I take my food to the car and grub on perfectly cooked fish, and fries. The food is always consistently good, like I said at the beginning of this review. That's never the issue. The bar itself though, well that's another story. Oddly enough, I want to go back. Its very much a guilty pleasure, and you won't be disappointed with their food.
