Parkade is hands down the best home bar in Kennewick, daily specials are on point, the people comin…read moreand goin make spendin $$$$ on a burger I don't need acceptable, and recent new owner has down hecl job being something and somewhere for everyone, and if you dont belong, no words need said some people like the bar across the street :/
Somethin has shifted the flow, maybe its me......every time I go in, and maybe conviently Ijust happen go with others like me catching the same ick but over the last couple months, I have found myself feeling like a ZIT, there not much you can do about it, you know its comin, you still choose go out about with this gnarly thing wrecking your face, and next thing you know im poppin out of there before my face festers up and catches whatever attitude and lack of care and attention towards whose working, how things work, what kinda bar this is and who its for, and with every 2/3 roll through to enjoy the laid back...well Parkade is Awesome but ive now noticed I don't have a zit issue, the Parkade does. I never choose to eat across the street but again today the Parkade issue made it today the last time I felt need to make it over there and check on the buddies stil hangning around.
Its a bar, it serves two things burgers and wings...... its serves two things beer and coctails..... this is what makes dive bars. The people, the lack options and the people okay with that paired with the bartender we all love and tolerates our shit like our wives or therpaists, and we tip and spend and feel good, some people left, got it, but the bartenders in trainin seem to exist there to hang with there friends while those us who lack desire change anymore quietly are told that if we dont like it then we can leave. When multiple people feel it, stay one drink, noticing money just leave the bar, drinks sitting there empty as if im suppose to BEG, and demand your attention while being borderline shamed for asking or speaking towards them because the hundred subtle non verbal and being nice and watching how people operate in BARS, its not hard, especially when youre serving locals, its shouldnt be a maze.
its a thing, competiton for worst bartender Kenewick and I hope winner crowned soon because I dont care for place across street but Here I Am. Look forward coming back. Just not on weekends or nights unless its Laura. Great Dive bar trying be more inclucive and exciting means busier, busier doesn't mean harder. Youre losing money by doing it hard and if you push out half your core before the other half get too old then itll just be what its been, no heart, no life, no customer care unless the bartender good mood and that seems be when its frined break time rather be in kitchen and pouring just beer, its just beer. God Bless
