My first time at Jeannie's Bottle in over a decade. Slow night; seven people counting the three in the back playing pool. The bartender is so mean that other customers were warning me about her. I was polite and patient but she was either deliberately giving me bad service or genuinely incompetent. The DJ either wasn't able or refused to manage a 3-person queue on karaoke night.

Karaoke set up wasn’t the best but the drinks were cheap. And now really a friendly atmosphere and the drinks were cheap.

I've been to most of the karaoke bars in town and this is one of the worst. The staff and clientele are cliquey and unwelcoming toward new folks. People don't pay attention to the people singing unless they're a "regular" and then even barely. There are a lot of better places to sing at in town.

Didn't have any of the food. As a bar it was great. Lots of room for larger groups. Drinks were fairly price for the location.

This is the thing, I told these people that I quit drinking alcohol 23 years ago and asked them if it was OK with them. They replied "yes, it's fine".After a few years of going there, the staff started pulling my Cokes that I PAID for and while I was outside they told people "oh body is sitting there. The last I heard nobody can smoke inna bar.After I stepped back in, my drink was gone and I was expected to buy another one. This happened more than once or twice.They somehow forgot that I would and have bought food and a drink for everyone multiple times.Only one person ever bought me a Coke, ONCE !I did have a few friends there.Then one evening one of the bar tenders decided to launch a very loud verbal assault outside on me while I was talking to my girlfriend on my cellphone which was on "speaker". She was heard loud and clear by my girlfriend. I tried to defuse the situation but "she" didn't want any part of it.I am a veteran who is mentally and physically disabled and to this day still avoid that bar like the plague.Good Going !

Before I enter the door the bartender greeted me happily and kindly ask what I wanted. Atmosphere was laid, back not crowded and everyone said goodbye when leaving!!
