2nd Avenue Saloon & Sports Bar

Finally stepped foot into this establishment due to a friend having her birthday there. We arrived around 1030 on a Sat night and there was no line and no cover charge, a great plus. We walk inside and it's relatively poppin, we immediately find the birthday girl and her reserved VIP corner they had sectioned off for her. The bar is like any other bar around the colleges, the dj played ok music, and the cocktail servers came around every 3mins trying to get drink orders. I went to the bar after an hour to order from the kitchen, closed, before Midnight! Really? What really sucked was my friend was supposed to get a pizza and cake with her birthday reservation and no one came to tell her the kitchen was closing.(considering the cocktail waitresses were hovering over our group like hawks). So we got no pizza, but they did supply a cake. (take my word for it and skip the cake). They also had this contest where they say 'the hottest girl' would win a cash prize. A ploy to get desperate drunk girls on the dance floor to show off their goods, very sad. In the end there was no winner or money prize, just a bunch of drunk girls grinding the floor thinking they're all still competing for a cash prize. All in all the service was more pushy than nice and if not for the birthday I would more than likely not have stayed here for enjoyment purposes. The drinks were pricey and not strong (the birthday girl had quite a lot of drinks, but still walked out on her own at the end of the night, and she is NOT a heavy drinker at all). Haven't tried the karaoke they supposedly have her. Don't know if I will.

Hey you. I got a great spot for ya. BOOM.

NEVER, EVER go to the Second Street Saloon in Upland...our experience was awful from beginning to end. There were 3 bartenders and 1 waitress on duty when we got there. They were out of my husband's first TWO choices for draft beer (even though both were listed on their menu). Our salad arrived dry, the waitress said "oh, I don't know" when I told her...that was it. Our California Chicken arrived dry with a slice of processed white cheese on it, one hard tomato slice, 1 slice of mediocre applewood bacon and a quarter of an avocado. Our steamed veggies were just that...steamed...no seasoning, comprised of celery (yes...steamed celery), green and red peppers, squash, zucchini, and coarsely chopped carrots. To top it off we had some amazing french fries. The waitress brought our check, saying "sorry for the neglection." NEVER. AGAIN.
