Friendly staff and a full bar. Plenty of TVs although they tend to be older. Ample bar games including shuffleboard, billiards, darts and golden tee. A good spot with good deals.

Loud, crowded, noisy and unfriendly management. We waited 3 hours to be served. We had 6 hungry children who suffered without snacks or anything to hold them over. I asked the waitress and she did get them some. We asked the staff what the hold-up was and they just continued to tell us we were in the que. The manager was not pleasant about the inconvenience, and made it seem as if we were wrong for being displeased with the wait times.She said " well I offered to cancel the order and u decided to wait". But at this point we had already waited 2 hours. So it was impractical to pick up the hungry kids and go wait at another restaurant. We expressed that we thought it would be appropriate to reduce the full price of the bill. She discounted the bill at $1 per item which was the equivalent of the military discount we would have received under normal circumstances. She said the owner would not do any more than 10%. She said she would call and ask.The owner agreed to 20% When we disagreed, she threatened to call security on us if we did not pay. The problem I had was not so much with the compensation agreement, it was more so the " so what, not my problem attitude" that she took with the situation. She never apologized for the inconvenience and was rather annoyed that we had the audacity to be dissatisfied and disagree. Process problems are not the fault of the customer and the outcome would have been better if her tone was more compassionate and apologetic.Kid-friendliness: Not kid appropriate, marijuana stench, pool and games kids cannot play. Just not a great vibe overall for kids.

Was a regular, however recent staff changes are a huge concern and we won’t be visiting anytime soon…Specs is not going to be the same without their longtime manager Troy there any longer. He always ensured a consistent, safe and customer service oriented experience.

Unfortunately after being a regular for quite some time now, I will not be returning for quite some time, if ever, due to the excellent previous manager Troy no longer being there! He ran the place very well and for many, many years. He also made sure it was a safe and enjoyable experience. I definitely hope the owners will realize what an asset they had and let go!

Fun on a weekend for karaoke. Get there early so you can sign up and sing multiple songs.Yo and practice the song you gonna sing at least once right before you perform. It makes a big big difference.

went to eat and found that Troy had been terminated. Troy is a pleasent person who has excellent customer skills. Been working at Spectators for years. I was so bummed I left. Spectators management should do better. Company not loyal to GOOD employees. Sad customer.

I asked for TV to he changed from the NHL channel to a live game on ABC. Waitress says no problem. The owner 30 minutes later wanted to watch golf and changed the TV's around. His prerogative the table said because he is the owner. My response is to use my prerogative is to go elsewhere and never return. He shrugged his shoulders and acted like he didn't care. You just lost a customer that was there 2 to 3 times a month, more during football(NFL). This place does not care about thier customers. Too bad, used to be a great place. Service was not good, had to look around or wave someone down. It looked like there was only one bartender/waitress. Hope you enjoyed your golf.

Awfully place. doesn’t let us sing twice and only let favorites singers instead of new other singers coming in. Not fair. Did not feel welcome in self.

First of all, Sara is an amazing server- very prompt with service and got my and my partner's orders in and out in no time!We came hoping to do some karaoke, but the KJ seemed to cater to the pretty girls and nobody else, as there were several people who submitted songs after I had that went before I did.After seeing one pair of girls put in a song and almost immediately be put in the rotation, despite me waiting an hour and a half to sing, we left.Other than the KJ, we had a good night, but we will not be going back for karaoke ever again.

The DJ for karaoke on Saturday nights sucks! He doesn’t go in order of people signing up, there’s not smooth transitioning between people, and he keeps going up! My opinion is that unless it’s really slow, the DJ shouldn’t get to go up and sing.It can get busy here, especially on weekends. The food is average. I wish there were more pool tables because they are always taken when I come. 3.5/5
