Okay - we like Sycuan, love the bingo and the rest of the gaming action; what we do not like is empty sports bars on a weekend. Â
What we like even less are empty sports bars where the waitstaff is reluctant to wait on you - for whatever reason (though I can guess at least one). Â
It's the Christmas holiday weekend - boyfriend and I and two of my girlfriends are winning, winning, winning - most especially boyfriend, who is now feeling like Big Poppa, throwing duckets around for the ladies - namely me and my girls. Â We find ourselves in this bar, waiting and waiting and waiting for the NOT BUSY at all bartender to acknowledge our presence.
Then, once he does, he takes our order, then takes about 10 minutes making each drink - looking over at us, as if he is hoping that we would simply leave so he does not have to serve us. Â Eventually - over comes said bartender with drinks and our food order; this guy - worried that we are going to skip out on our tab apparently, calls security over to the bar to watch us eat, then to hover over us until we pay and leave.
Sorry, we were not drunk, not getting drunk, not causing a ruckus scene or even talking loudly for that matter - and certainly not going to skip out on our tab.
Hopefully that jackass bartender does not work there any longer - and if he does, he takes some courses on not profiling patrons.

Of course we came to Sycuan to cash in the free buffet tickets we had. Since the line was a long wait we ended up at this awesome sports bar to kill some time.
Service was great. Definition of great service at this bar is:
Bartender was prompt on taking our order, serving us drinks, and checking in to make  sure our Carne Asada nachos were scrumptious. We were happily watching football and playing video poker.  In addition, the bartender would often report which "letter group" they were currently calling for the buffet.  To top it off, the bartender also noticed that my Sycuan card would only give us 10% off when we should be getting 20% since my husband is a Veteran (we were previously discussing this since it was Veteran's day). Â
We were so happy the bartender made us sign up because Military members get TWO FREE BUFFETS instead of one like regular members.
Thank you again awesome bartender, for paying attention to detail, and providing us with great service.
Very good sports bar,Robert and Jarrod are very good bartenders,they actually take the time to know the customers names,and are very cordial. The servers are pleasant and attentive,they will probably be written up by management,for putting the customers first. You will not find this in any other part, of Sycuan. Â Their food is excellent,especially the swordfish tacos. Â They used to have a happy hour,and drink specials,but of course the crack general manager got rid of it.
