    This is a great neighborhood bar! I just move from one area…read moreof CDA to one block from here...ive met all the locals and they take care of each other...I couple walked me to my house when I drank too much, and they took me up to my door...thats the kind of bar this is... Great music, lots of booze, and they allow smoking in the bar! Its awesome The bartenders are so friendly and are we are all neighbors...its wonderful to live in this neighborhood... LOVE IT!

    I have been a loyal customer at Lakers Inn for years and have always loved the regular staff, which…read moreis the only reason I'm even taking the time to write this. What happened tonight was beyond unacceptable. I brought a group in to celebrate our niece's 21st birthday. The second we walked up to the bar, the bartender--an absolute piss boy--already had a nasty, cocky attitude. He was openly mocking customers while laughing with his little boytoy sitting at the bar, clearly more interested in performing for his friend than doing his job. We politely asked for a pitcher of Hazy. He immediately snapped, "WHICH BEER? Are you literally even using your ears?!" We calmly repeated that we wanted the Hazy. He then yelled, "Yo, are y'all fucking deaf?" We were visibly shocked and confused, still trying to communicate clearly while being verbally abused. He then proceeded to pour the wrong beer. When we said, "Sir, we said the Hazy," he threw a tantrum--dumped the beer out aggressively, threw his hands up, and got visibly angry like a child being corrected. He then screamed, "I SAID HOW MANY GLASSES--CAN'T YOU HEAR?!" The entire time, his boytoy was laughing hysterically, and the bartender kept looking over at him for validation like a middle school kid trying to impress his crush. It was humiliating, uncomfortable, and embarrassing to witness. When he finally asked what else we wanted, we were ordering a Malibu pineapple for our niece. As we quickly double-checked with her, he screamed again, "Hurry the fuck up and tell me what you want." Immediately after, he and his little friend celebrated--laughing, dapping each other up, and acting like being a complete asswipe to paying customers was the highlight of their night. For context, we are bartenders ourselves who work down the street. We are patient, respectful, and extremely generous tippers--especially to industry staff. We don't expect smiles or special treatment, but we do expect basic human decency. What we experienced was vile, aggressive, and completely unprofessional. This piss boy should not be allowed behind a bar, and frankly appeared intoxicated or otherwise unfit to be serving alcohol. One employee single-handedly ruined what should have been a special night and seriously damaged the reputation of a place we've supported for years. Do better.

    We attended the Friday night music festival. There were two bartenders inside a male and a female…read more The female went over and above to provide excellent service and was very friendly. The male was complaining about making drinks and even refused so the female volunteered to make our margaritas. He was not pleasant and obviously didn't want to be there.

    I asked locals which bars would be open at 9pm on a Sunday and everyone pointed to Metals which is…read morebasically the only place open that late. In fact they're unlike most other businesses in Wallace and are open everyday until 2am. This is your typical no-frills dive bar with a pool table, a shuffleboard. Their wells and beers are $3 which are so cheap and amazing! I don't get complicated stuff at these dive bars so I stick to my whiskey cokes and shots of whiskey. They have happy hour from 4pm-6pm daily which is $1 off food and booze, so imagine your already-cheap $3 beers or wells becoming an astonishing $2. If you're coming here expecting a gourmet meal you should be looking elsewhere, because they have dive bar food which means frozen snacks. They actually have this cool contraption to deep fry stuff like tater tots or dumplings which apparently costs like $5k. The bartenders are all super friendly, especially Dave who I saw multiple days during my stay. I came here most days during my week stay in Wallace and this is one of the staples of the town. You'll meet very friendly people here who are always willing to strike up a random conversation.
