Sparks Lounge used to be Sidelines…read more Sidelines had a real bad reputation for fighting and many other not so swell nighttime activities. I am a professional bar fly and I wouldn't step foot in that place. It went from a grungy bar to a biker bar to an ECV bar. It is currently under new ownership and looking to change that reputation a bit. My husband and I ventured in this weekend to see if it is turning around and it does appear to be doing so, slowly but surely. The entire place seems cleaner and the lighting seemed brighter although still appropriate for a bar. The demographic of the clientele is improving and the bar staff as friendly and attentive. They had a country bad playing when we went and the sound quality was great. Not to quiet yet not overpowering. Drink prices are not bad. They have two pool tables that were in use and quiet a few tables with chairs facing the stage most of which were also in use. The bar itself is pretty long with what I would guess is about 15 seats or so. My biggest gripe about the place is and always has been that they don't have any windows. It feels like you are drinking in a closed up room which you are but it makes it really easy to loose track of time, but I guess that really boils down to personal responsibility. We did notice that the front door as a window now, which is nice. I think new ownership can continue to turn the place around and I look forward to popping in every once and awhile and checking out the changes and increasing stars!

A friend and I had discussed venturing somewhere for drinks and Tipsys was what popped in my head. Low and behold it was ladies night even better. I had saw a cotton candy drink and showed it to my friend and that was all the convincing that was needed! It was the perfect chill and relaxing vibe after a long and busy week. I love the glow of the place and the music was good. There was even security on site which is always good. We were fortunate enough to have Valerie the owner behind the counter, during my very first time to Tipsy's she was behind the counter. Most of the drinks for ladies night were $10, there were some really fun ones that were outside of that that are on my list for next time including a ducky in a bathtub, and even having a cocktail in a purse. I enjoyed chatting and commending Valerie for her and her families' creative business ventures. I loved learning about a new business soon to open- the Social Club which will be on Victorian. I love how more nightlife is coming to downtown Sparks to revitalize the area down there. I had been in the area and saw the signage and got super excited. I even learned that Señor Tequila's was a family member's business wow- so cool! I thought the drink- which was a special - Daydreaming which consisted of mango, passionfruit and prosecco. It was a beautifully served drink and tasted amazing. My friend even asked Valerie for some extra cotton candy and she was sweet enough to serve us extra in cups. Totally would have stayed to try more cocktails but my friend wanted to venture. Can't wait to come back to venture the ducky drink and some other cutesy ones.

Third, I just like playing nickel video poker in a relaxed environment and when it's at the bar, even better. Drinks come faster that way. Speaking of drinks, they have the well stuff for the rookies who just order a rum and coke or gin and tonic. But for those in the know, all you have to do is ask for the good stuff and they will pour it for you, and they do have the good stuff. Full disclosure, they are a whiskey bar first and foremost, so they have more of that than anything else, but just to name a few others, they do have DonQ rum and Don Julio tequila so unless you are a high maintenance drinker, you can find what you are looking for. It is also worth noting that they bill themselves as a craft cocktail bar, which means they can and will make you a very nice mixed drink, speaking of the high maintenance among us. There are pool tables and leagues are a regular thing here as well as a nice little William Hill sportsbook in the corner. It closes early though, so keep that in mind. There are no less than a dozen beers on tap at any given time as well as several bottle and can options. Plenty of TV's above the bar and Direct TV, so they get almost anything you are looking for. The bar slots seem to be pretty loose most of the time and although I rarely play video Keno, I have seen many people cash out hundreds of dollars on a fairly regular basis playing it. Now for the bad...It is a truck stop bar and that in itself is not a bad thing, but sometimes, well...Truckers can be a lot to take in. Also, you will come home smelling like smoke. Otherwise, stop by if you are in the 'hood and take a look for yourself. Good place to pregame. If nothing else, check out the gun collection throughout the casino and bar, it is worth the trip alone.

I popped in for a first time visit on a Friday afternoon. I had a phone meeting that I needed to attend to so I stopped in for a beer beforehand. It was quiet enough in there to have my meeting and sit at the bar the entire time. The bartender was nice, attentive and left me alone while I partook in my meeting. I will definitely be back to this smooth little haunt and i look forward to sitting at the bar with a coldy in hand.

A couple weekends ago we called to see about the dinner sometime early Friday evening, but learned they had already sold out and stopped serving. So while in town this weekend, we stopped by early evening (around 5) for the famous dinner and sat at the bar sipping drinks while we watched the seafood and pasta being prepared. It was less than $20 for a large plate of pasta with tons of shrimp and garlic bread on the side. Between that and the shrimp cocktail appetizer that the two of us shared, we left full and very satisfied. Great staff, lively atmosphere, good prices, and a ton of fun things to look at while sitting at the bar. They have a pool table, and there's a barber shop attached (but we haven't been there when they've been open), and not sure if theyre related or just sharing a space. I highly recommend checking out this bar if youre in the mood for a drink, and if you're lucky enough to stop by on a Friday night, you're in for a treat with the dinner. Bring some gum for after dinner - lots of wonderful chunks of potent garlic in the scampi! :)

It was an early Thursday evening, plenty of tables open, looked like plenty of staff. So why did it take AN HOUR from start to finish for 2 drinks w NO FOOD?!?! We were sat by a hostess within minutes of arriving. Within about 5 min, we met our server and ordered 2 cocktails, nothing blended or over the top custom, just 2 cucumber mojitos. Those arrived about 10 minutes later, so far, not too bad. Then we sat for about 20 min before we even spotted our guy insode the doning room, but he never came near our section. Another 15 min went by. The 2 tables near us were also ready to pay & we overheard them vocalizing their frustration. We would have ordered another round if we'd had the chance. It took another 15 min just to get our check and pay. He said he was "busy putting out fires". Sir, this was not the Hawk Fire zone, and it wasn't that busy. Servers were all over the rest of the patio getting food, drinks and checks. I was a server for over 10 years, so I notice things. If there's delays, just stop by your section and communicate. No reason to ghost several tables and I'm certain by his uniform that our guy wasn't the manager on duty that evening. At this price point & setting should warrant servers that hustle, that's how better tips are made.
