When we arrived into town we heard the live music (10/11/25) & cool atmosphere coming from this fine establishment. We decided to check it out after we were finished walking the quaint little town. Upon heading to our car we decided to pop in to grab a beer and listen to music to unwind... only to be met with the absolute rudest "hostess" we have EVER met. Walking into the garden area & we weren't sure if it was a "seat yourself" or "be seated" type of establishment, so I set out to find a waitress. Once I finally found one (mid 30's, white woman wearing all tye dye mismatched sweats & greasy blondish hair.) we politely asked her how we went about getting seating to which she told us it was self seating, as well as serve your own waters. She then proceeded to take 10 minutes to bring us a menu. When she gets back to take our order another 10 minutes later, we only order two beers, as we're in a hurry to get to Santa Fe for the rest our day trip. At this point the only issue we have is she doesn't seem to have any sense of urgency in her task to wait on her guests (considering there is clearly a rainstorm coming in and we're seated outside). So finally our beers come out, one was poured so poorly it was HALF FOAM, but we just brushed it off, drank our beers and waited for the check. 20 minutes pass and I can't get her attention every time she slinks through. So, I take I upon myself to get up and track her down. I find her at the bar thoroughly engaged in a conversation with her coworker. A conversation I waited for them to finish before I was finally acknowledged. I ask her for the check, she brings me a little machine. The bill was $13 for two beers. So considering she wasn't the best hostess and the fact that I had to track her down just to get our bill, I tip $1. Which I figured was more than enough considering SHE DIDN'T DO MUCH. She looks at me and asks "is everything okay" to which I reply "yeah everything is great!". She storms off and I assume it's because she headed to grab my check. So I tell her "No check is fine, have a great day" to which she YELLS IN RESPONSE "ONE DOLLAR ON A F**KING THIRTEEN DOLLAR TAB, WOWWW". At this point I'm absolutely taken aback, because who do you think you're talking to, little miss roll out of bed and come to work in the same dirty sweats you slept in? At this point our group has had it & a few heated words are spouted out, before we left this quaint little town with a bad taste in our mouths. Unfortunate after such a good time there... If you've made it to the end of this post, take this as a warning. This establishment is a Must-Skip. The staff is rude, the service is terrible, the live music was sub par at best and the beer was poured poorly & it's just an all around bad time. Save your money & your tips as they are clearly not appreciated. 10/10 will never return and will most definitely spread the word to any friends traveling through town.
And to that "waitress", here's a tip... Gratuity is based off service. It's earned, not given. You were tipped what I felt your service was worth & I was being generous. You're lucky it wasn't a penny. read more
