What it is, and what I am rating it on. It is a dive bar, it has sticky tables, (not really) it has pool tables and tacky decor, it has really friendly service and it is awesome for what it is. The crowd can be a little rough and it is a Bar, must be 21 years or older. It has typical bar food, hamburgers and anything you can put in a fryer. But on Thursdays and Saturday Nights, after 6:00PM it is steak night. I usually don't like local grills for steaks, they're usually terrible. But not here, one of the best steaks I've had outside a high dollar steak house. After 6PM it is time for steaks, they close down the other menu items and you have a choice of steak (Ribeye) or steak (Ribeye). You can choose your temperature, I chose MR, and it was probably Med, but that's okay. Comes with a baked potato, a roll and grilled onions and mushrooms. But what stands out was the flavor, so good, place got a little smokey as they grilled. I really like mushrooms and grilled onions, but the steak didn't need em. I took mine off and enjoyed the steak as it was. I did finish the mushrooms and onions as a side. Highly recommend steak night. The salad was plain with cheese and croutons, nothing special. The Potato was cooked perfectly with a cooked crunchy skin, soft potato goodness in the middle. Came with butter and sour cream, I would have liked some cheese, bacon and chives, but it was still good. Lots of food, didn't try dessert. My wife enjoyed her steak too but would have liked some other options, it was a lot of food for her. But lunch for me the next day. Our waitress Zoe was new but very good, very attentive, and very friendly. Well done Zoe. Keep it up Rainbow Saloon.

Now for the Rainbow Saloon, I believe that it is the type of Saloon where everyone who enters the door will be able to feel like they just arrived @ home!! The staff follows all of the states required laws, but that doesn't mean that you won't have a fun experience! Some folks might call it a dive bar, it's what I would refer to as a rustic establishment!! There is a unique atmosphere in the Join, people meeting people, the food is amazing and the menu has a great variety to choose from. M favourite is the classic cheese chub With the fan.67

Do not recommend this place. A group of friends and I went on Thursday night for karaoke and signed…read moreup to sing some songs. The karaoke host was extremely rude and did not play our songs, while he hogged the mic and sang three songs in a row. When my friend tried to sing along, the host got visibly upset and told him to back off. And then after the song, the host (again while on the mic) told my friend to "not interrupt his moment" and then kept verbally escalating the argument when my friend didn't respond. We decided to leave due to this extremely poor treatment. It was literally a Thursday night at 12:30 am with minimal crowd and absolutely no reason for the host to act this way. Shameful of him especially as my friend did not say or behave any way negatively to him. Listen to the other negative reviews and stay away from this place for karaoke!!!

One of the owners got in my face over a misunderstanding and threatened me. When the other person…read morecleared it up for her, she never apologized. I've never been treated so badly by a business that I was trying to support. I don't feel comfortable going back or recommending this bar to my friends. To be clear, the bartenders, security staff, and DJ were all lovely people, but this owner was unnecessarily abrasive and I won't be back. (I didn't intend to post publicly, I tried to send a private email via the contact email on their website, however, the email bounced back undeliverable.) I've been to karaoke bars around the world, I've always tipped the DJ upon leaving as a thank you. At Tavernacle, if you want to sing without waiting several hours, you have to tip upfront as a bribe - that rubs me the wrong way. I haven't experienced that at other karaoke bars - tipping the DJ wasn't conditional to your spot in the queue. The DJ that night was a nice person with fun energy, but I don't agree with the idea that the level of service provided is determined by how much you tip upfront. Like I said, most of the staff were genuinely kind humans. The sound system and production value were great. But I can't recommend this venue based on my experiences above.

The process to get inside has been a breeze for me with no issues--from security to ticket check. Hardly had to stand in line for the restrooms, which is super convenient. Place is spacious and quite clean, so no major complaints. Heads up, for mixed cocktails/hard liquor, you'll need a wristband to enter a separate room; and will need to finish the drink before leaving the area. So, you can't take it with you if the artist is playing in the main stage/area unless you buy beer at the main entrance bar. Be prepared to feel warm/hot inside the venue as the place doesn't have any A/C. I had to step outside to the smoking area to get some fresh air and to cool down, but that didn't stop me from dancing and having a good time. Regarding the sound, I had a different experience each time; and it was setup differently.

One of the best selections of alcoholic drinks on a bar that I've seen locally. Ask MONEY what he likes and be m prepared for items such as a PB&J shot or "The Good Boy" (see photo), -- a Bloody Mary with Tajin, fried pickle and bacon. Start him off with a smile by saying "Go Raiders!". He was funny and interesting and a talented mixologist. A trio of musicians (Twisted Brother) was playing and provided fantastic music to groove to. I think a lot of people end up at the Green Pig next door because it's closest to the road but you'd kick yourself later for not going here, especially for brunch on Sundays. I'll be back regularly and hopefully you will too!
