Dead, dead, dead

by kimbrew

The owner must be smoking crayons in the back room. Who in the hell would have their cleaning lady run the bar? I am all for opportunity and giving someone a chance but come on, would you hire a high school graduate to run Apple? Basically she is running it to the ground and I can imagine it closing by the end of the year since nobody goes there anymore. She talks down to the employees, threatens their jobs if they don’t do what she says, and watches their every move. She lurks in the corner and scowls at the customers. She takes orders and has the bartenders makes the drinks for her and STEALS their tips. A few weeks ago, as I walked past the bar from Short Stop to Gold Room, two sleazy drunk men (one of which is the manager's husband) were standing outside the bar trying to lure people in as P-p-poison was blaring in the background. It reminded me of the T.J. bars with men trying to get drunk Marines to go inside to see a ti*ty show. Maybe if there was actually a donkey show I would have stopped in. I don't care about the new paint as I'm sure the walls will be covered in graffiti soon enough. The new patio chairs scream old lady special at Costco but these are just minor cosmetic issues. Putting that aside, I will not support a business that mistreats their employees. They are the coolest and nicest bartenders in town. It is the only bar that I felt comfortable walking into by myself, ordering a drink, and having a lovely conversation with the bartender and the stranger next to me. You can feel the tension between the new management and staff in the bar now so it is no longer a comfortable, inviting place to hang out in. Thanks goodness for Short Stop and Gold Room. That is where everyone has been scared off to like the ro*ches that once inhabited the place. Sadly, Little Joy is dead. Tears.

• Pros: The wonderful bartenders
• Cons: The bitter old *itch of a manager

Anyone see Desperado

Reminds me of the bar where he looks for Butcho. I went in there and its too hard to describe it. Go for yourself. Just don't get into any fights and try a hotdog from one of the vendors outside.

Awesome pool tables and a great happy hour(which is 3 hours)!

I love this bar. Although last time I went there was some faggotity dude there yelling and complaining about something, but thankfully the friendly bartender squirted him in the face with soda and kicked him out of the bar! I continued to play my pool game in peace, and then went outside for a cigg, and the same guy was outside, drunk as a skunk and yelling at the owner! Luckily the owner picked him up by the collar and threw him against a wall. I love how the employees make the environment save and inviting for local drunks whom are not interested in fighting. FIVE STARS!
