Idle Hour Restaurant & Sports Bar

Awesome food awesome service! Coming back again!

this was a great place years ago. i have gone back over the past few years and am always disappointed. the bartenders ignore you especially during happy hour. 2 of us came in recently and waited 15 minutes to be served in a near empty bar while the bartender read the news paper. every time you ask for a drink they act as if they are doing you a big favor. we just left because such bad service.

It's a definite local hangout with a decently busy bar area even during weekdays in the off season. The first time we came here, we had great service by a friendly bartender. The bar area is large and easily can seat quite a number of people. Large TV's, pool tables, jukebox and pretty much everything you can expect to find in a tavern. It's a nice mixed crowd with all age groups but a very laid-back, friendly vibe.

The second time we came we were served by a surly, shorter bartender who has an obvious chip on his shoulder to everyone. He will look at your empty glass and purposely ignore you and take around 20 minutes to grudgingly come over even though he is not busy doing anything else. We ordered appetizers which were basically thrown down in front of us and then he walked away without a word.

Brushing off the our last experience, we came in again for a late snack and the same bartender was working again. Same surly and unpleasant service. This time, as we were eating a man came up with a 6-pack of beer he was intending to purchase. This poor guy was standing there next to us for about 10 full minutes as the guy saw him and deliberately walked away, started text messaging for awhile, then started cleaning the bottle tops out of the beer coolers. The guy looked at us and said "Is he doing this on purpose to to ignore me? Did I do something?" We told him apparently not since we and everyone else were getting the same kind of treatment. The guy wound up leaving the beer on the counter and just walking out. We also finished up and left there for the final time.

Hopefully, whomever owns or manages this establishment sees this account by people who were customers and will intentionally never go there again because of one employee. This guy is only a detriment to your business and must be costing you quite a bit in losses.
