Pregnant Bartender didn't want to serve beer in glass cup and tried blocking the glasses from my view if im some sort of mongrel neanderthal I'm paying 7$ + tip$ can't even get my iPa in glass the American way. Plastic goes straight to the land fill on my first night here as well . Also bartender sneezed on her hand should at least use common courtesy and use inner elbow also the bar tender got irritated I asked for extra limes lemons oranges and cherry those are complementry and they just go to waste and I tipped 40$ for her and her soon to be born child. I don't care about 40$ for a baby but overall service has to be standard here when it comes to customers

After the earthquake, this was the only place in town left standing. They took me and my family in when we had no place to stay. They were able to help nurse my wife back to health and I will forever be grateful for what they did for

When I arrived I noticed it was way busier than most Mondays, the bartender- Brooklynn was super friendly and kept up with speedy service as usual. I brought my family and they really enjoyed returning after years. I will definitely be back because of her!

Love the chicken sandwich. One of my favorite. It's got like a fish fry batter with cornmeal. So good. Service is sometimes a lil slow but the servers are behind the bar and busy. So I am not mad. Busy place and good food. Drinks are yiur normal bar drinks.

I went here with my husband one night for just a drink and again with a friend to celebrate our birthdays. The burger was perfectly cooked and so good! The beer was good. The place was redone a few years ago and was clean, relatively bright, and had plenty of places to sit at the bar or at tables. Service was prompt and friendly. After a point, we realized we were some of the oldest patrons, which was funny to us, but good to see a still. The prices are extremely reasonable. The only complaint I have is the bathrooms. I am not a very thin or very fat woman. Yet, I had to turn to the side in the stall to have enough room to close the door. It is extremely tight in the restroom, which made my friend and I remark about how awkward it had to be for bigger ladies because it was very awkward for us. It’s not enough for me to knock a star off, but it is something to be aware of if you are a larger woman. You’ll have an issue trying to get the stall door closed.

Went to dinner on Monday and ordered a burger. I barely made it home before I started barfing my guts out. Will never go to this establishment ever again. I'm in the hospital with food poisoning!!!

I recently went to this establishment and had a cheeseburger for their Monday night special and before I got home I was already throwing up horribly. I frequented this restaurant on several occasions and the food is always been good, but this time it was not a good experience. I now am laid up in the hospital hooked up to an IV and on oxygen because I'm so dehydrated and have good poisoning. I will never visit this location again and I will pass the word along. The kitchen is not clean for something like this to happen. Out of date meats are very dangerous.

This place is not worth going to. Bartender would rather be on their phones or take pictures with customers than do their jobs. I understand customer interaction is part of the job. But when you have a full bar and people waiting for drinks there is no reason to be coming out from behind the bar to take pictures with your friends who are having a Christmas party. And then when you go behind the bar, ignore the customers who have been waiting 10-15 minutes for a drink and serve your friends who just walked up to the bar. Bad service, Erin and Emily left a lot to be desired, when I asked for their names to leave a review they said and I quote “it better be a good one b****** Definitely not a place I will be going back to.

Went in on this past Thursday night before a show at another bar and it was BUSY. The 3 girls behind the bar were absolutely amazing despite being slammed constantly. They were all super friendly and seemed happy to be doing their job even through the madness!! Potato skins were AMAZING! 10/10 would recommend!!

I have been going to The Gamblur for years. However, I am very disappointed in the service that I have been receiving here. I went in on Thursday to get drinks with my wife. This is the second time, I felt the bartender was bad. She was more concerned with her friends at the bar, then attending to our table. However, I just let it go and didn't want to judge this place on her poor service. My buddies and I returned Friday for some beers, and the same bartender was there, and pretty sure she was intoxicated....What a bad look. I get bartenders may take a shot or two on shift, but she was drunk on the clock. Clearly, I need to avoid Thursday and Fridays.
