Maui Sugar Mill Saloon

I came here last Friday to watch my friend's band play. "Young Professionals" (Seriously, check them out.) I was pleasantly surprised with the bar. I'd seen it from the outside and had gone in once to talk to the owner for a work-related matter so I'd never been there socially. The place is awesome. It's small and dark, but also intimate. I think it's great that they have local bands performing and the vibe of the bar was a lot of fun.
Prices on drinks were reasonable. I do have to hand it to them on giving out free popcorn. All you can eat, I might add. It's a great idea for the bar. You drink and you crave salty foods. You eat the salty food and you get thirsty and order another drink... I see what you did there Maui.. Don't worry though, your strategy is safe with me.. Well, until I open a bar of my own and steal your idea.

It is obvious from your comments that you "can not" accept criticism which is very unfortunate, clearly their will be no future improvements or changes made at your bar. There is a saying you apparently are not familiar with "the customer is always right".

What a fun bar, with some really interesting decor, and awesome music!  

I live in Riverside, and this is TOTALLY not in my area.  However, my best friend sings in a band, and she was invited to sing at the Maui Sugar Mill Saloon, along with some of the house musicians.  A friend of ours and I went along to support her, and found ourselves in the San Fernando Valley.

The drink prices were really high, compared to prices in the Inland Empire.  Examples:  A bottle of Bud Light can be had for $2 - $3 in the IE, but was a whopping $5 here.  A shot of Fireball in the IE ranges $4 - $5, and was $7 here!  So I would say it's expensive.

The music was awesome and my girlfriend KILLED IT!  Way to go, Christina & Doug, of the Hollywood Wranglers!  The house band, the Just Dave Band was great too, and I could see there were other, awesome acts that would be playing, had we stayed longer.

They had a pool table at the back of the bar, and we played a few games while we were there.

In reply to the owner comment about my review:  I did not take any stars off due to the drink prices, I did, however, state my opinion about the prices.  3 stars = "A-OK", according to Yelp, which was my impression, as a whole.  And since I did clarify that I was comparing your prices to IE prices, I think people who know the difference in cost of living between the two areas, are smart enough to take that into consideration when they read it.
