Great little neighborhood bar with a welcoming vibe. The bartender was friendly, the music was on point, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax. They've got a pool table, serve food, ice-cold beers. Perfect spot to kick back and enjoy good drinks, good tunes, and good company or just for a casual stop-in. read more

Showed up for a couple of beers per suggestion of one of the boys, they have a decent selection of beer. They also have a diverse amount of liquors but we didn't have the desire for cocktails. This is a nice sports bar with board games and pool . Plenty to do. They offer outside seating and friendly service. Saturday is karaoke night, the staff wanted us to sing my apologies I'm not a good singer. We ordered burgers and sides. Burgers were amazing, fries were cool. We got a couple of burnt onion rings but let's be honest, this is a small town bar so please don't expect food to be gourmet. I didn't not see this a problem just an observation that life doesn't have to be perfect, we just need to have a good time. 5/5. read more

We were looking for a bar that was 10-15 minutes max drive from our home, and hopped on Yelp. This place turns up with good reviews, so off we went. The bar is surprisingly nice inside despite the deceptive exterior. As someone else mentioned, it was extremely clean. The bartenders were friendly and the drinks were fine and the patrons are all nice and friendly, no issues despite a lot of them having tough guy biker appearances, don't let that fool you, unless you're looking for trouble, there won't be any here. Karaoke was a great hit the night we went, quite a few people sang, including myself. The Karaoke DJ is very friendly and has an almost unlimited library of songs. We had so much fun we decided that this will be one of our go-to local bars. read more

I was SO disappointed and will never be returning. They messed up not one but two of my drinks- first I received a coke and Jameson when I ordered ginger ale and Jameson- huge difference!!! Then had to wait a good while to tell them they messed up my order. No apologizes or anything but did correct my drink. Meanwhile the presumed owner or manager was watching this interaction. You'd think the bartender might have put a little pep in her step since he was watching. Then I ordered a shot of Jameson and whatever whiskey I got was NOT jameson and tasted like well whiskey. Not to mention there was no mask wearing and it was super crowded... no concern for covid in this bar. All around an awful experience. read more

Soooo THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!! I met a friend here for some after work drinks, and they recently started serving food, which I was grateful for because I was going to be skipping dinner otherwise. The tacos were AMAZING! Totally had their own flavor didn't taste like anything I've had before, the carnitas was perfectly cooked, and the rest of the small menu looked delicious too it was hard to make a choice. The chef came out and personally explained some of the menu choices & was super nice! The bartender was adorable & had awesome service our drinks were never empty! They had the new Orange Jameson in stock and ready to pour which was a total WIN for me because it's a new flavor I'm in to. It tastes perfect with club soda & a lemon. Big thanks to them for making a chill meet up turn into an even better experience!! Looking forward to going back for the future events they were talking about! read more

This place is OK but $8 for 8 poppers? The menu pricing is all over the map! If you are going to eat it's probably better to invest in a burger because at least it's a meal and you won't have to sell your first born for a snack. It's Rio Linda not Midtown! Bartenders have always been very nice so I changed my rating from 2 stars to 3 ....the popper situation gets1 star. A decent happy hour would help this place too but what do the people spending $16 on poppers know? Oh just found a box of TGI Friday poppers with 36 poppers for $6.98 roughly this comes out to $.19 per popper...Really $1.00 per popper???? come on Rio Pub! read more

The service and food quality have always been excellent. They have a huge menu, a friendly staff, and a relaxed atmosphere that feels a step above a typical taqueria or fast casual spot, with solid table service to match. It's about time I gave them the credit they deserve because their food is consistently great. Historically, I've loved their enchilada plate, especially the mole enchilada. It's one of my favorites. Today, with the sun out, I was in more of a mariscos mood, so I ordered the shrimp ceviche and the fried tilapia plate. The ceviche is very bright and fresh, with mango mixed in, which adds a really nice layer of flavor to the traditional combination. It comes with freshly fried tostadas that are crisp and flavorful. I'm not personally a fan of the white crackers on the side, but they also bring complimentary chips and salsa, so once the tostadas run out you can use the tortilla chips instead, which works just fine. The tilapia was excellent. It's hard to go wrong with a well fried tilapia, and they do it right. The guacamole and pico on the side are great for building tacos, and the beans and rice are both perfect. You really can't go wrong coming here, especially with the variety they offer. Sitting outside on the patio is nice, though this particular location can feel a bit sketchy at times since a few odd characters often cut through the parking. It's mostly fine, but if you're looking for a more relaxed patio vibe, the other location might be a better option. That said, this spot also has a comfortable indoor dining area.

We didn't care for their scrambled eggs on the plate, could've went a bit softer on the scramble. Overall this place is a great local spot for Mexican eats.

This was a little off putting as that was never the case before Saigon was forced to close a couple years ago due to a kitchen fire. But we didn't let that deter us from ordering and finding out why the restaurant was empty. Their menu is missing a lot. And because of that a couple who just sat down decided to head to their midtown location which has most of those missing dishes. I think this is a huge reason for their lack of crowd. Our favorite honey shrimp dish is no longer available. Neither is their fried rice. My lady and I both had our hearts set on the shrimp. A bit disappointing. We went with their chicken egg rolls, rocket shrimp and garlic noodles with chicken wings. We genuinely loved our food. It came out hot which meant is was super fresh. The egg rolls were stuffed with meat. Bomb! The firecracker shrimp were delicious. The garlic noodles as bomb as I remember. Wings had lots of perfectly cooked chicken on them. It seems like they're specializing in pho and making that the emphasis of their restaurant. Overall this restaurant has changed a lot. Seems like a whole page was missing in their menu. I'd like to see them reintroduce some old favorites as it would help with business. Encouraging people to head to their sister location downtown isn't ideal as people are already there. I'm sure even more money is lost as those people just plan on making another restaurant their destination instead.

Upon entering, we were greeted by a friendly bartender by the name of Ronny. Our first round consisted of two dirty martinis (my new drink of choice), which Ronny put his fist (that's a good thing) into making. One of the things that I love about dive bars is the various demographics that usually frequent them (along with their interesting conversations). For our second round we ordered a "Manmosa (yes I know that sounds ridiculously machismo in 2024)" that Ronny insisted on putting a fruity spin on. Not only were we thankful for his suggestion, but his version was GOOD! In real dive bar-like fashion, Ronny provided us both with an extra cup to house the remainder of the Manmosa that could not fit into our glasses (another dive bar perk). As we sat at the bar, my wife and chatted while lightly watching the movie Step Brothers on one of the televisions. Although it was a fairly slow Saturday afternoon, I can imagine that this place gets pretty lively in the latter part of the night though. We observed lots of seating, games, and an area for karaoke (toasted karaoke is the best!). I highly recommend The Blind Pig if you're looking to have deliciously strong drinks at a price that won't have you waking up the next morning rethinking the decisions that you made the previous night!

Such a beautiful site

This place is still great even during the COVID situation. We decided to get our food to go and enjoyed it in the car. Although they have an outdoor dining area, we weren't quite ready for that, so we opted for a little picnic. I decided to try their Wagyu Cheeseburger and fries, and it was excellent, hitting the spot just right. The burger was juicy and generously sized; in fact, I couldn't finish it all. I can see why it's my husband's favorite. Their thin, crispy fries are always a delight; I've even ordered them as an appetizer in the past read more

One thing that hasn't changed is kick-ass bartender Amy is still there! Love her! But yeah, they've got really good food, karaoke, live music, trivia night, bingo, so much fun! read more

This bar has made strides with new ownership. Fantastic drinks, great food and a friendly & knowledgeable staff are a great improvement from where this place was a year ago. Definitely will return. Try the themed drinks of the month, they do really well on thinking these through & they taste fantastic. read more

Walked in ready to learn some line dancing and ended up having a blast. The vibe in here is legit... good country music, cold beers, people actually having fun, and not everyone standing around staring at their phones lol. Now let's talk about the parking lot... it is absolute survival mode you better get in where you fit in because once it gets busy it turns into organized chaos. If you know, you know. Security and ID check at the front was smooth though and honestly appreciated. Professional, friendly, and for $10 to get in it's hard to complain. The bartender had me cracking up all night. I ordered a Miller Genuine Draft and the look he gave me was like I just ordered the finest whiskey in the building instantly became friends. He kept calling it "the champagne of beers" and every time I walked back up he'd point and go "I know what you drink!" I was like damn... one night in and I'm already a regular hahaha. Great place to learn country dancing, have some drinks, and just enjoy some good vibes.

I managed to confidently jump in for the Cupid Shuffle because that was the only one I fully knew I attempted a few others by following random people's feet and let's just say... it was humbling, but honestly so much fun. The vibe here is great and everyone seemed to just be having a genuinely good time. They have 2 bars, tons of space for dancing, plenty of seating, a mechanical bull, and surprisingly good food too. I'd definitely recommend taking the dance lessons first if you're new because these regulars are NOT playing around Great spot for a fun night out. The service is friendly too. We made friends with the bartender.

They have so many pool tables, dart boards, and even karaoke nights, so there's always something going on. The music really adds to the fun vibe and makes it a place where you can easily spend a few hours without getting bored. One thing I really appreciated was how affordable everything was. Their drink specials are a great deal, especially if you're going out on a budget but still want to have a good time. The atmosphere was energetic, but still relaxed enough to just kick back and enjoy yourself. We ordered the jalapeño poppers, and they were really good crispy on the outside with a nice kick of flavor. Definitely a great snack while enjoying drinks and hanging out. I also want to give a special shout out to Javier. He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. He checked in on us throughout our visit and made sure we had everything we needed, which really made the experience even better. Overall, this is a fun local spot with great entertainment, affordable drinks, good food, and excellent customer service. Whether you're stopping by to shoot some pool, play darts, sing karaoke, or just enjoy the music with friends, it's a place that's easy to recommend. We'll definitely be back!

I typically just do their tacos. Whether it's the street tacos or their Quesabirria, you can't go wrong. They also specialize in cocktails. Margaritas so colorful it's a shame to even drink it. Cantaritos that a small village could share. The draw for me was a World Cup matchup. With over a dozen TV's I had a view of the game no matter where my head turned. The restaurant is a bit on the pricier side as far as Mexican food goes. Parking lot can get crowded. Service was great and my food came out pretty fast.

The restaurant is pretty big inside and the decor is beautiful. I absolutely loved the VW bus-style front counter such a cool touch and definitely something that stood out right away since I love those buses. It wasn't too crowded when we arrived. They had music playing along with TVs throughout the restaurant so I could definitely see this being a fun spot to watch games on Sundays. They also have a full bar and a good drink selection. Our server Javier was friendly and attentive. He checked on us throughout the meal brought out chips and salsa while we looked over the menu and never made us feel rushed. The menu has a lot of options. We ordered one of the molcajetes with shrimp, chicken, and steak. The flavor was really good and not overly spicy. They also offer different aguas frescas. Food came out within a decent amount of time and overall the experience was enjoyable. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes from the menu.

Inside is your typical dive, kinda dark and the walls are cluttered with pictures and memorabilia. It's a U shaped bar so to the right they have shuffleboard and electronic darts and to the left are 2 pool tables and a pinball machine. I was there for a pool league game and the tables are smaller than normal but their pool sticks are in really good shape and have newish looking tips. Service was a tad slow, it was just one bartender and she would disappear (which I get, she needs her breaks) or pay more attention to the right side of the bar than the left. Beers were a little more expensive than most other dives. However, she was super nice and even bought the bar pizza. This place does not serve food, with the exception of chips and beef jerky so the one star review someone left complaining about pizza is definitely NOT for this place. Only other drawback is the bathroom. Women's restroom is a tiny single stall and was often busy every time I tried between games. Overall tho, I get the charm of the place. The bartender and regulars were all nice and welcoming and we had a great time. While this place is pretty far from home, I would still swing by if I found myself in the area.
