The Lodge At Fort Apache

I used to live in the 89148 - SW/Summerlin border neighborhood. I used to pass this establishment all the time. I finally got the balls to try out this place even though I live further now haha.

Went here with a couple friends, we decided to hit up this place. Parking was in a shady area (or at least one of my friends thought so). It's next door to some mexi food place and a work out center for women only.

Walked inside, OMG, am I in the mountains...in a cabin? Nope, it's the Lodge. Literally, the Lodge. Inside the decor was like being inside a lodge. There's a mounted buffalo's head (maybe it was a beefalo), a fireplace and wooden interiors.

We only ordered beers. Yup, just beers. We wanted to try out the food but that's on our to do list for our next trip here. Got New Castle and Blue Moon. I tasted the was it's supposed to taste.

Service was good, we were greeted promptly when we walked in. The server checked on us quite a few times.

3 stars for now. I will try the food next time, and if it's amazeballs, then I will up the starts.

I personally am not a fan of the Lodge.

Food: 1 Star at best. I have received salads with rotten vegetables and BLACK avocado on more than one occasion. I personally prefer my avocado to be green or absent if they are unable to serve a somewhat fresh ingredient on one of the few "healthy" food choices they have. Maybe I would have a better chance of landing a good meal here if I went for chicken wings or a burger... But in my opinion, if you cant uphold a decent ingredient that you have on your menu STOP SERVING IT. I certainly have decided to stop ordering it and not go back!
Drinks: Cheap/Affordable made by decent bartenders
Service: Good if you sit at the bar... Not so great if you sit at a table.

This is a gaming/sports bar type of environment. If I wanted to watch football or a game, this may be worth hitting up just for drinks... But I wouldn't recommend eating here for a fun dinner because the food quality is so low.

Would never patronize this place again.  Bartenders are rude and play favorites with those who are feeding the poker machines.  If you are not playing, expect to get short shrift on service, or what they consider service.  Food is blah, typical pub fare, but not even as good.
