I do have a girlfriend that bartends there so I will stop in occasionally to say hello. I've always had a good time there.

Went to this bar the other night for the first time time. The bartender was super kind and…read moreattentive! He consistently made sure we had a drink in our hands and was super kind! I really loved the vibe of this place too. They have a whole room of fun little games one being a photobooth! What I loved was their $3 spin a wheel for a shot where you got a shot of whatever it landed on! I got the pickle shot and then a deep eddys one! They also have a mystery shot option too! Super cute and I extremely reasonable pricing! They don't have a kitchen but have someone who will deliver you food and doesn't even have a delivery fee or anything Super cute bar and will definitely be back! I highly recommend to everyone!

The vibe is laid-back but electric at the same time--great music, solid crowd, and drinks that hit exactly how they should. What really made the day stand out though was Sydney behind the bar. She was awesome--super attentive, quick with the drinks, and just had that natural ability to read the room and keep the energy up. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it makes a huge difference in the experience. Whether you're there to unwind, catch up with friends, or just have a no-BS night out, 12 Volt is the kind of spot you keep coming back to.

It breaks down like this: Are you looking for a relaxing day with some locals and regulars who love this place (maybe a little too much) and have built a legitimate community around it? I suggest weekend afternoons for some tunes on the jukebox and sports on the TVs, Tuesday nights for open mic and Wednesday nights for Poker. Looking to find the broad of your dreams with those child bearing hips and a vague interest in the trad wife movement? Try Thursday and Saturday nights for Karaoke (and wear your square-toed cowboy boots and trucker hat, the ladies love that shit here). One thing is always true though, the management and bartenders are friendly, warm and great at their jobs. Regardless of the day or time, you'll find a professional behind the bar ready to make you feel welcome- but don't be a douche, even pros have their limits. So, pick your time wisely but whenever you go, you'll likely leave feeling a little better than when you arrived.

Honestly, it was a blast, and I'm definitely planning to come back to this little dive bar--though, let's just say I'll be doing it solo next time!

I walked in the door all had to turn to look at me I said hello nobody said hello back I made my way to a booth as I was meeting other people so we wanted to booth found a booth, good spot for a pool table and to watch the game. I seated myself got comfortable. Waited for somebody to come over to my table to take my order.

She slid it over to me without even looking at me. I asked her how much she told me I gave her the correct amount plus a little extra, and she proceeded to ask me if I want to change back, I said no and walked away. My friends finally showed up they were greeted immediately bartender came over to the table and asked them what they wanted to drink. She still refused to look at me, now mind you I don't know this person and as of now, I don't care to know this person, at one point one of my friends asked her why she wasn't being nice and she said she was too busy to be nice. I totally did not understand that comment to all .... We had a group picture that was taken. I guess it was for all the regulars there because me and my girlfriend did not get invited to take the picture and once again, my friend asked about it and they said that we were not normal, ?!! I will say one thing being treated badly because I'm Mexican or because I was dressed differently. Does not give you the right to treat me badly. Being in the service industry myself, I know how important it is to treat people kindly! We ordered some food that they were serving Philly cheesesteak sandwiches and nachos. Great idea we enjoyed eating. I will go there to see my friends that work behind the bar but I will make sure that I don't go in when that bartender is working that treated me rudely. I was once told when entertaining people whether it's a conversation or a hello to be kind because you may be entertaining an Angel. Thanks For The Read Until Next Time .....

Like a dive bar. A greasy spoon. No frills and simple. There is a certain comfort in that. Blue Moon, Budweiser, Bud Light, and Coors Light on draft. People smoking marijuana directly out front? Niiiiiiiccceeee. Numerous high four top tables along with some five tops that would be choice for playing cards. Long around J bar. ATM. Pool table. A nice quiet spot to watch the Broncos or regular NASCAR games. Come and be nobody or stop by with your friends. No complaints. This bar is a bit more lively than most dive bars but that's not a bad thing. Twins Inn isn't too far off Sheridan if you want cheaper banquet or even less "frills." Certainly a younger crowd but still very mixed 23-60 I'd say. The decor here is nice. Usual Budweiser signs but also a good amount of Firefighter memorabilia. Not too far from a station and training building so I'm sure that's the connection. Ambiance? Check. Service? Good enough. Food? They have jerky, popcorn, and various lays chips available. I see signs for a microwave Philly cheesesteak too but who knows what's up with that. Still, call Gordon Ramsay. Spicy pickle shots are on me!

I would not order food if you sat there. We got the strawberry margarita and a jalapeño margarita. The strawberry margarita was average but we did not like the jalapeño marg. They used pickled jalapeños which was a weird taste in the drink. We were expecting fresh ones. The margs were also $10 each for a tiny glass filled with ice. Overall we were not very impressed with the drinks especially for them being known for their tequila selection. Maybe our rating would be a little bit better if we ordered food.

We got together with a large group, 10 of us, and were sat on the patio with their largest table. The patio is completely covered and they do have heaters. They serve Baja-style Mexican food, burgers and sandwiches, weekend brunch, and boast a substantial tequila list and happy hour. Original Margaritas at happy hour are $6.50. Yes please sign me the heck up. These were great, so much so I ordered two. Definitely a must at Billy's. We ordered A LOT of appetizers for the table. Honestly some of them were just okay/nothing special, however I wanted to call out the chips and salsa. Simple yet delicious. Crispy chips and salsa with tons of flavor. Chicken Enchiladas ($19) // Three corn tortillas, chile de arbol roasted chicken, billy's cheese, enchilada sauce, shredded lettuce, diced onion, pico de gallo, crema, guacamole, cilantro lime rice, black beans. Get in my belly! I love me some enchiladas and these filled me up and satisfied me. I thought the accompanying rice and beans were delicious too. A massive plate of food for what you pay for. Friendly service, good food, strong drinks, and neighborhood vibes. I don't think you'll be blown away, but this is the type of reliable spot everyone wants near them. Almost 100 years in business, clearly they know what they're doing. Billy's Inn for the win!
