    First let me say Nathaniel, our bartender/owner, was phenomenal!! Located in the heart of Downtown Carson this place is an awesome find. Their Yelp information is outdated and almost deterred us from going. I'm so glad we decided to give them a try anyway. Updates; they do accept credit cards and also serve liquor. I wouldn't say it is a full bar but they do have options available for whatever you drink including beer on tap and bottle. I have never been a big fan of partaking in actually smoking the hookah because it usually gives me a headache and a burning feeling when trying to smoke it. However, the coals were kept at such a consistent temperature I did not experience any of that this time. We usually get peach mint and while it wasn't on the list of options, Nathaniel, eagerly said I can make it for you. Perfect Customer service!! The peach mint was strong and tasty and stayed that way for over an hour. I mentioned it was my wife's Birthday and Nathaniel also engaged the entire bar in singing Happy Birthday. Thanks for such a pleasant experience.

    Is this place still in business? I just drove past it and was curious so I looked it up on yelp. Yelp info is outdated. Any chance management can update some photos on yelp of the business to give customers a better idea of what to expect in 2020.

    Made it through the shutdown and we're back open for business. Wednesday through Monday, open daily at 5:00pm until 1:00am and until 2:00am Friday and Saturday.

They have karaoke on Friday nights and the best part is you actually get a turn to sing unlike West 2nd Street Bar. West 2nd Street Bar is always crawling with drunk 21 year olds screaming at the top of their lungs, and you almost have to bribe the DJ $20 to just be able to sing within the hour. I like the Library so much better because of this reason. The drink prices are not bad either. I love me a good Moscow Mule and the bartender makes them right. The hookah is not bad priced as well. Only $20 and it lasts us for about an hour and half and they are very attentive in making sure its not harsh and the coals are being turned. Overall, a great dive bar for playing pool, testing your voice at karaoke or just wanting to chill to have a drink and play pool. I recommend this place to anyone over 25 looking for great bar spot!

When I cashed out my tab I mentioned to a bartender about the cockroach and her response was; "there's roaches in every bar in this town." Touché, but I'd never seen one crawling on the counter in another bar scared it was going to crawl in my purse and me take it home. I won't be back.

At the end, you won't get an apology and you get embarrassed in front of whole casino. Inexperienced workers, who call themselves securities, act like they are officers but in reality they probably never got to work with police department so they just harass innocent people. That is their highlight of the night, thinking they found someone with a fake id. Luckily, actual officers were fast and pleasant to work with.

Let's just say, I had to keep reminding myself, "you aren't in Vegas..." The entrance is cool looking, except the fact that they had 10 security guards standing outside it. This did not help me feel safer, if anything I questioned even going in, but my brother in-law insisted we go in since Peek was too pricey for bottle service. So here we go... On Saturdays, they charge an entrance fee of $20 for guys and girls are free. Once you walk in, you can feel how small this place is. Immediately to the left you will find the only bar in the club. Directly in front of you they have maybe 5 "VIP" tables and a couple go-go dancing stages. Behind that is the DJ booth. This place is nothing special. I probably would not return for a second visit, merely because it smells like vomit, the DJ sucks and transitioning between songs and the vibe just isn't there for me. You just can't go from playing ratchet rap music, to a slow country song...no, no, no, no, no. Who does that? I would have to say, spend the extra $20-50 dollars to go to Peek, that place at least looks like and feels like a club ready to party.

    We came here for lunch on our second day in town. It was a bit too cold to eat outside, which was a…read morebummer because the lake view is incredible, so we opted for a cozy table indoors instead. The menu is straightforward and mostly features Greek food. We started with the red pepper hummus, and the pita bread came out nice and warm which felt amazing on a chilly day. For our mains, we tried the beef kabobs and a lamb dish. The beef kabobs were actually pretty good, though the lamb turned out a little on the tough side. I also grabbed their drink special of the day, which hit the spot. Overall, it was a really nice experience. The service was friendly and welcoming. We'll definitely have to come back during warmer weather so we can finally sit out on the patio and fully enjoy that view!

I adore trying new places, so I decided to try Artemis. We placed the our takeout order online via their website thru Toast. My mezze platter was fine. A good variety - falafel, dolmas, hummus, babba ghanoush, tzatziki, tabbouleh. I liked that the babba ghanoush wasn't too slimy. The falafels were a lil dry and definitely needed the tzatziki for moisture. I like that they let you sub veggies for pita as I'm not a huge pita fan. The hub's fish and chips were okay. Idk if the oil was old, but it the coloring was definitely deep and the fish was over. Maybe it was an off day with the oil. But I'd stay away from anything requiring a deep fry. REVIEW #4036

    I visit Gina's semi-frequently as she does a great job getting live music every Wednesday-Saturday…read more I enjoy the vibes in Gina's and think the atmosphere is fun. Most bands that play there are great and while it is inside the Nugget casino, the smoke smell isn't too bad in Gina's itself. Gina does offer a full bar, minus beer on draft. You can bring in food but there is no food served. The pricing can be a bit high on some beverage items but in general it's comparable to other bars. Overall I think Gina's is great but a few things could make it better. 1. Some areas of the lounge feel a bit unfinished such as extension cords hanging around and ring doorbells being used as security cameras. 2. My dad often visits with me and does not drink. He is often charged for something like a soda water even when I order a drink. Understandable - but $4 for a single soda water without refills is not something other bars typically do when someone else in the party orders a drink. 3. It can be very loud. I do not think this venue was not originally built with loud live music in mind. Sometimes it's just a bit much. I will keep coming to Gina's for the music as I think it's a great spot, but there is always room to improve! Cheers.

Today we got the following: Special - Pulled pork on a pretzel bun with fries. Two orders. Wow, it exceeded my expectations. Well, I honestly did not have high expectations. The pork was tender and flavorful; I did not even need the extra BBQ sauce that I asked for but used it to not waste it. And with a generous amount of fries; my buddy did not finish his fries. I also like the nice touch of a fried pickle on top of the slider. Fish and Chips - My other buddy that was craving BBQ switched to this and loved it. Chicken Breast Sandwich - My healthy buddy. He was also not able to finish his fries. All of which was good. And I plan to come back for Happy hour in the future. Especially Wing Wednesdays! Ambiance - Larger than expected. Larger than it looked from the outside. This place is like two units. I hope my pictures did it justice. Full bar, plenty of tables in both rooms. Pool tables, darts, etc. Semi open kitchen. Plenty of street parking. Open 6 days a week; closed Mondays. Service - Colgan (name on receipt) was so professional! Checked up on us very often. Even better, he was proactive and asked us if we wanted this or that with our orders. Price - $57 + generous tip. FYI - 4% credit card charge or 4% cash discount, see picture. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2014. We have actually been hanging out in this area for the last few years and now will be more frequent customers.
