Glendale Dive Bar.... That basically sums up this review in three words.
They are not priced like a gay bar, it may be a little grungy around the edges, but it will for sure get the job done. Check it out if you in the hood, but don't go picking no fights, because it for sure has that kind of sketch factor vibe of you loose big time!
Doc Procs is absolutely the quintessential seedy dive bar you'd imagine. Â It's lurking in a strip mall with a couple restaurants and a retail shop for "dancewear," which sounds and looks like stripper-wear. Â Doc Procs itself is a country-heavy shoebox of a location where the locals take their dogs into the bar, sink karaoke, and don't take kindly to outsiders...ok maybe that last bit is an exaggeration, but still. Â You get feeling that absolutely everyone knows everyone else here and they stare at everyone else. Â The barkeep is friendly enough, but who's tending seems to change every five minutes and their version of a tab is a poorly written slip of paper in a stack of other papers...one of which might belong to you if you're drinking--or not. Â The waitress looks personally affronted if you want to order anything. Â In fact, I'm not sure why they have a waitress since the distance from the front of the bar to the back is only about the size of my livingroom. Â The kitchen keeps no hours--apparently "he," whoever he is, just stops/starts cooking whenever. Â If you ask the owner, he honestly can't tell you when they serve or really open. Â The only impressive thing about Dr Proctor's in fact, is that it's about the cheapest thing out there other than just buying a bottle of Jim at the Argonaut and swilling it in a parking lot. Â If you're looking for a moronically cheap drink that's not in your livingroom, Doc Procs is it...but I'd rather pay and extra couple of bucks and go somewhere where I know they serve a decent burger and/or can get you the menu to order one.
Review Source:After my first initial experiences here I thought the place was ok enough for being right across the street from our apartment. Upon my last vist, however, I will never walk through those doors again. The "bartender" was horrible. She's been behind the bar a couple times when I've been and she always sucks. Today, though, was the worst.
We seated ourselves at a table and started looking at the menu. After several minutes (mind you, there were only about 6 people including us in the bar), she said she'd be with us in a minute. She finally came over and we ordered drinks. I had a PBR (on special for $3) and my friend had a Coke. We ordered food and it was ok. I got a BLT and fries. The bacon was undercooked but the fries were alright.  She got  enchiladas which she said was pretty good.
My friend asked for a refill before we got our food. APPARENTLY, there are NO REFILLS. Are you kidding me?? She didn't inform her of that when she ordered nor was it a can or bottle or something. It was a pint glass full of ice and barely any Coke at all. Really??? So she ordered a water. Seemed to be the same deal with the water. All ice and barely any water. She asked for more water after about the 3rd or 4th time the lady walked by. Her glass had been sitting on the edge empty for at least 15 min. Several other people were served AFTER she asked for more water and there was never a time when both of her hands were full. We also asked for the bill twice and a to go box. I finally had to walk up to the bar (which was only about 4 feet away so it's not like we were across the room) and asked for it again.
When we got the bill, several things were pretty messed up. ALWAYS LOOK AT YOUR BILL. First of all, she charged me $3.50 for my PBR. When I said something, her response was "oh they don't tell me what's on special". Um, I'm sorry but I am a server too. IT'S YOUR JOB TO KNOW. Not to mention the sign hanging on the wall in plain view. Second, my friend's soda wth no refill was $2. There were no drinks even listed on the menu for you to know you were about to get ripped off..
It's been a long time since I've given a crappy tip. I usually give people the benefit of the doubt but when there's service this bad I don't hesitate to. As for never stepping inside this place again, that is for the fact of them trying to rip off their customers with poor customer service and overpriced drinks. I've been there for happy hour and those prices suck too. If this is how they treat all their patrons, I don't see how they're even still in business.
This little dive bar offers karaoke on Thursdays, hosted by my fellow karaoke homeslice Daniel. Â They sport a late kitchen menu, ample parking, and clean, fully-stocked toilets! Â
When I say little bar, I'm not joking. Â The pool tables take up all the space on the lower level and the upper level has some bar seating, really tight rail seating, and 3 tables. Â If you don' want to have to sit on your friend's face, I suggest you get there early.
The sound for karaoke is pretty good and there's a decent song selection. Â However, I was disappointed that they didn't have Paranoid Android (for shame as Daniel rocks this song). Â The crowd seems mellow and polite. Â All in all, it was a good time!
I have a co-worker who has friends at Proctor's - lots of them. She likes to sing karaoke too, so we made our way over after work on Saturday night.
Located in a near-vacant strip-mall, Proctor's is a great example of a dive bar that you would find in any city, U.S.A. The locals are friendly; so is the staff. I didn't have any food, so I cannot comment on that. Pool tables, sports channels on TV's and yes, some caterwauling on Saturday night.
Actually, you can tell they have some very passionate people singing; they know the lyrics without looking, the phrasing without gasping and the song nuances without flubbing. On the other hand...................I heard a guy with one pitcher too many and it was a countdown until the song ended. A big sigh of relief was heard around the room.
Clearly, a neighborhood favorite watering hole.
Good food, good drinks, great employees!
My friends and I head over there every once in a while for post practice drinks.
If you are hungry, I highly recommend the tacos, the quesadilla, the french fries and the bratwurst. Totally random, I know, but sooo good!
The tacos are $1.50 each on little corn tortillas. There's always two tortillas so you can split them in half. It's the cook's own recipe.
The salsa is extra, extra hot so I always get diced tomatos instead. 2-3 is a perfect little dinner with a side of beer...and you can always get more of both :)
If you like your neighborhood dive bar, then this is the place for you! When we first moved to Denver it was up the street, the first night we walked up to it, we turned around! But we needed a beer so we went back & I'm really glad we did! Â The staff & customers were so friendly & welcoming-most of our friends we have made since we moved here, we met there. Â Lots of pool tables-they have a pool league on Wed & karaoke on Sat. Â It's a good time & a classic dive bar.
