Good Music, Cool Atmosphere, Bartender is a D-Bag
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/9/11
Live music was really good/authentic and the atmosphere is really fun. Get there early in the morning and start drinking before the lines grow. My only issue was the bartender who thought he was hot sh*t. It's Virginia City for heaven's sake, not LA. Drinks are more expensive when the live band is playing because it's free to watch. That makes sense. I ordered beers earlier in the morning and knew exactly how much it was going to be when I ordered them again in the afternoon. The band hadn't started playing yet when I ordered my drinks. It took for ever to get the beers, even though there wasn't much of a line. Mind you also that they were bottled beers, so I'm not sure why it took so long to get them. I got my money out and put it on the bar. As the bartender is walking over with my beers in hand, the band starts to play. No joke, it was probably 3 seconds worth of playing and the bartender slams the beers down on my money. He picks it up and says "oh the band is playing now, it's more expensive". I told him i ordered before the band started playing and his response was "well you don't have to drink them if you don't want them". What a jerk. I don't plan on spending my money here ever again. I do plan to go back and watch their free live music though.
