The Club Car

I love this place.  It's got some of the best mussels I've ever eaten and that's a strong comment to make (see what I did there?  mussels?  strong?).  

Nice little spot on the main part of town in little ole' Auburn,California.  Grab a pint, get some mussels, tackle the menu . . . it's a nice little spot.

Best bacon and avocado burger in town hands down!

I really appreciate the Club Car and it has definitely become my go-to for Tuesday night specials. The tacos are what you'd expect, not too large but for $1 they don't feel like a rip-off either. Last time I was there, I had a really nice waitress who did what she could to satisfy my picky friend (lighting, drinks, etc).
My two complaints are about one bartender and the margarita special. I understand that for $2, the margarita is not going to be "the best of the best," but I feel like the bartenders use the price as a justification of making weak drinks. It really puts me off the special and makes it feel like no one really enjoys it - the staff or the customers. I would rather pay for a regularly price drink that I know is actually a drink rather than be given a "deal" on a watered down "margarita." And there was just one bartender last time that did not seems very friendly at all, I imagine it was specifically because I mentioned the $2 margarita issue and he didn't appreciate it.
I keep going back, overall, and there's still a few things on their menu that I have my eye on. Super friend wait staff and the hostess is great and always remembers me.
     A positive experience I had was that I went for my sister's birthday. We were informed there was going to be a 45 minute wait, so we went to another local spot to wait. We returned on the dot, but apparently it had taken less time than they thought. Rather than give our table away, however, they saved us a table large enough for the 7 of us that arrived and the 3 more who walked in later. It felt really thoughtful.
