The Little Bear

Really bad service!  
Got there about lunch time on a Saturday.  We walked in and there were only a few tables in what seemed to be the main dining area.  They were taken, so we went near the stage where live music was being played.  It was mellow; just a guy with his guitar.  The problem is, nobody ever came to bring menus, take a drink order, nothing.  10 minutes, we figured maybe they just don't serve that area.  Went back to the main dining area and found a table had opened up.  

Then things started moving.  Got a menu, drinks, and then placed our order.  The food took a little longer than average, but not so long as to be considered unreasonable.

After we were brought our food, our waitress never checked on us again.  Not to offer a second drink, not to check if everything was ok, not even to bring the check!  We had to request our check 4 times!  Our baskets were cleared and still no check.  When I asked for our check on the 4th time our waitress asked if we knew who our server was!  They are disorganized, inattentive, slow, and disrespectful of people's time.  

The food was ok.  Although, I should point out that when ordering "fish and chips", the "chips" should be what we call french fries, instead of something that is more like kettle chips.

Beautiful building, mostly really worn wood, people carve and initial just about every corner of the place.  Went on a Thursday night, overpriced drinks and  a cover charge for a meteoker band (at best). Not very friendly service or patrons on that particular night.

The Little Bear is an Evergreen staple... That being said, I'm not a huge fan.
I've gone several times, mostly on week days, and the things that stand out the most are:
The insane cover charges for mediocre bands
The bras on the wall
The decent drinks
The neat old cash register
The tourists
This is not a "local" hang out and for the most part, you'll find all kinds of tourists here... Which is great, beef up the mountain economy, but with the tourists comes the insane covers...
I tend to shy away from this bar on most nights (if I go out) and go to the more friendly, cheaper bar right down the street (Cactus Jacks).
