    a bloody drink with olives
    Lacey B.

    This bar is not the same when Barb is not the bartender. Walking in and seeing her behind the bar makes the whole trip worth it. Love this place and barb! Best dive bar around. We drive all the way to snelling probably more than we should but it is well worth the drive!

    Best Bloody Mary in Merced County. Playing pool after drinks is a great way to enjoy a road trip to Snelling.

    It's a great little dive bar with a juke box, a pool table, and the best Bloody Mary you will ever find.

    Service: very friendly. We met both the owners & the cook. They made us feel so welcome…read more Food: excellent Best cod tacos I've ever had (special of the day). Their Loaded Not-choz was so big, three people can share & have their fill. The tri-tip, which we added was delicious - having the smokey flavor. A must try! The cook recommends to have us try the French Dip next time we stop by. We can't wait! If you are on your way to Yosemite, stop by in Mariposa & try this place. You won't regret it.

    I am very sorry to have to write this review. We came in for a beer around 9:00 after a long day of…read morehiking. After 15 minutes, we were told that a wedding party had reserved the entire bar and we had to finish our drinks outside in the cold, where there were no seats. My husband asked for a refund, since we had barely begin to drink. The server went to ask the bartender, and returned to say that we had to finish our drinks and leave. We were told that they knew the wedding party had reserved the bar and would be arriving at some point in the evening. Now I can understand that neither the server nor the bartender made the reservation or knew exactly when the bar would have to be closed down. However, they should have told us that the bar would be closing, and given us the opportunity to go somewhere else. They also should have refunded our drinks, because it was their fault not to have warned us beforehand. This is simply an example of poor management.

Today you can visit the outside patio area which is a gorgeous garden completely fenced in and pet and child friendly. The staff was very pleasant and even split a meal for a friend and myself. We enjoyed a rib eye steak sandwich with a baked potato and side salad for $32 divided by two made a huge meal $18 and my husband had a cheeseburger and fries that was cooked to perfection with that smokey goodness. The smell of the grill got us before we had even entered the place. Our friend had a few drinks from the bar and they didn't disappoint. We are not on this side of the hill very often but we will stop again if we make it this way. Definitely recommend if you are driving through.

Whatever the case might be, I just think he could've been nicer about it! The only reason we went was because my friend really wanted to go because she seen it on Instagram. Im happy we didn't spend a dime there! Also, we stuck out like a sore thumb!
