Most of the time, in these casino bars, you expect a little impatience because they're so busy and…read moreit's understandable that you get small drinks for slightly higher price points. I asked John for a highball and I suppose he didn't know what that was, he may have been new to bartending and could pass for a young 20something. He called over Marta, whose tired eyes and damp tone told me her shift started 40 years ago. She curtly informed me, "a highball is just a glass. What do you want in it?" "I... I'd like a highball in it please" I stammered, too shocked to take this any further, and I told this seasoned bartender the two ingredients that were in this classic cocktail. I sipped on this and for lack of anything else to do, I half-watched a football game on the TV and listened to one staff member scold other staff for not cleaning their sections' tables. After 30 minutes, I managed to get a water from the very busy John. Soon my friend arrived and I ran off to tell the harrowing story of the highball that almost never was and got a champagne glass that happened to be filled with champagne.

This will be somewhat of a multi review, as I will be comparing the Sky Bar to the other bars…read morewithin Graton Casino. The Sky Bar itself is an okay experience, the drinks can be a little pricey ($12-$15) for both volume and what alcohols are used, and the drinks aren't really well made either. The bar is located in the middle of the casino, so it's pretty loud. I have some hearing issues, so it was sometimes difficult for me to communicate to the bartenders, unfortunately. The bartenders themselves were nice, not the communicable type, the "just make the drink and ignore you" type which I have no issue with, but others might. (To clarify, I don't think they ignored me because of the hearing issue, I noticed that most of them did not speak to any of the patrons other than to ask if they wanted another drink) Compared to the other bars in the casino... There's infinitely better options. The G-Bar has a better selection of drinks, is a little quieter, and larger screens (to watch the World Cup!). The Pool/Lobby Bar is a little cheaper, has a wider selection of alcohols AND has arguably the best bartender in the entire casino, David, who is incredibly skilled and has made the best drinks I've had in the casino. The 8-Bar has a quieter atmosphere and some Asian alcohols (which most of the bars here do not have), but is a little pricier. The Boathouse Bar also has a wider selection of alcohols, and the bartenders are flashier when making drinks (not my thing, but can be a positive for some). I think you could go to any other bar and get a better experience.

But the food is hit or miss and that has been the case on multiple dinning attempts here. This time I tried the Baja fish tacos but it was not edible and I couldn't even chew it becuase it was so tough. I was hungry enough to eat around the tough parts, until that unidentifiable fishy taste put an end to that. Even the taco shell was very tough. Maybe I'll go back to the buffalo chicken wings and reset my opinion. Until then, I'll stick to what they do best: cold beer!

I was playing the slots at Graton and was craving a bagel, so I stopped in for breakfast and…read moreordered the Smoked Salmon Bagel ($18). It came on a toasted everything bagel with whipped cream cheese, smoked salmon, tomatoes, capers, and red onions. Both sides were generously loaded with toppings, so every bite had a good balance of flavors. It was comparable to other smoked salmon bagels I've had, but the generous amount of toppings stood out. It definitely satisfied my craving. I also loved the ambiance. The bar and TVs gave the place a lively feel, and the decor was nice too. My server was cheerful and friendly. She joked about my oversized Trader Joe's shopping bag and shared that her sister had "stolen" both of hers. It was a funny conversation that added a personal touch to the experience.

With all the places to eat at Graton, probably won't be back to this one.

NOPE UR WRONG! a good burger joint SHOULD toast the bun, on BOTH SIDES and NOT SERVE a cold bun. COLD BUN. EW!!!!

It had been a while since we had last come here, so it was fun to be back and enjoy some of our favorite beers. It was a beautiful day, and they had live music. They also had a couple of large-screen TVs set up showing the World Cup game. Our server was very helpful, answering our questions about beer and bringing us a couple of samples before deciding what to order. I asked for my favorite light beer, DayTime, and we decided to share an order of chicken wings, fries, and their P-Town Chop Salad. The beer was as good as I remembered, and the food was well-made and delicious, especially the wings (with Buffalo sauce). They allow dogs, as long as they are well-behaved and on a leash, so our little guy had fun saying hello to a couple of dogs that were sitting nearby in between his breaks from begging for treats from the table. We spent a couple of hours there before heading home.

Although, the days where it's just right, this salad really hits the spot! I wish they had just a normal cheese and bacon burger. The way their menu is built you have a plain burger and then you have to build it with cheese, bacon, etc. Instead of a $15 Burger. You're looking at a $20 Burger by the time you're done.
