Elmer's

During the day it's ok, but at night, This place is perfect.....For tweakers, cowboys, and the "rodeo of booze-fueled superheroes with big mouths and small brains", and low life Orcutt has- been backwash, or marginal humans. At other bars, I'll make eye contact, smile politely and nod once or maybe twice , when I need a drink. And I don't wave my arms around or whistle when I want a drink, because I show respect to my fellow humans regardless of their skin color. I was the only dark skinned person at the counter, as I remember. Last night, the two waitresses that work there , made a point to not serve me for over twenty minutes, while I just sat there after they both noticed me at least twice., I watched them clean the bar and  count their tips (barkeep#1 the blonde washup with the miles on her who was fired) or serve every other person at the bar , and then the people to either side of me( barkeep#2  the red head with the long hair ) and even ask people who already had drinks , if they were doing alright (both) . . It would have been only my second drink, so I may as well have tried ordering the second after I got my first drink , and drank while I waited. The "Professional " bartendress from the wine bar at  ( Italian restaurant nearby ) who happened to be sitting next to me noticed this after she witnessed me being skipped over and over, and was nice enough to get  the redhead's attention within a millisecond, by just looking slightly to her left and smiling.The redhead immediately  said "What can I get for you?".. ."  I want such and such, and This gentleman needs a drink, he's been waiting" The barkeep reluctantly made me a super complicated vodka soda with lime ( with no lime again) thanks to the pro bartender. I will definitely take care of her , next time I go to her restaurant. And I told her so before I left.
By the way, there was two fights in two hours. One tweaker moron ( who was gettin served plenty , even though they know he's a troublemaker) got decked after trying to go around pickin fights, and finally coming across a military vet. The sherriffs proudly marched through there and hung out , like always, before doing nothing like always and leaving. And the second fight, was between one regular dude and one of the types I described above. The bartender was quick to start screaming and freaking out , both times. That was kinda funny :)  But  that's besides the point.
 If I'm not welcome there because I'm ethnic looking, then grow some balls and tell me to leave or do your job and try to  serve me a drink.  The daytime barkeep is  excellent.

Wow Elmer's the best bar in Orcutt Home Town Fun & Friends. PJ's 21st was a blast thanks a bunch...

this place is terrible and the only reason i say that is because one of their bartenders is incredibly rude. she got upset when she made my friend a terrible drink and my friend didn't want to drink it.  she was like, "i make you a drink and you don't even finish it?!"

she scolded me like a child when i left my drink on the pool table, instead of asking me politely to remove it like any normal person in a service industry. when it was removed, another patron left their drink on the pool table and she came up to me and said "didn't i tell you already to not put this on the pool table?!"  

um excuse me, aren't i a paying customer? treat me with respect and i'll come back to your crappy dive bar and spend my hard earned money. if you don't, i won't.
