Poppy's Dancin' Iguana Tequila Bar & Grill

This restaurant has closed down.

Popped in for lunch not many people. I thought it was the time of year...December weekend. Had a diet coke and beer, so no problem. Also the fried pickles were great. I might drop in for drinks in the afternoon, and the fried pickles. Needs a band or upbeat music.

Full disclosure: Went here with my family to grab a couple drinks since my mom is an avid tequila fan. Walking in, the place is huge and has one of the best (if not the best) view of the harbor. Hostess told us to seat ourselves, so we did. After waiting for a waiter for 5 minutes, we decided to leave the table and go to the bar. Bar tender seemed like it was his 1st week. Total, there were about 15 people patronizing the bar and he seemed totally stressed out. Mind you, when we walked up the rest of the bar had their drinks already. Anyhow, drinks were good, list of tequila was one of the most impressive I have seen! As mentioned in other reviews, the bar is strictly monitored and the bar tenders pour via jiggers for portion control. I 100% understand the value and importance, but it looks ridiculous when you are pouring an expensive tequila into a snifter via a jigger. Moving on, the place seems like it has SOOO much potential yet lacks proper management/staff. The location, view, even the concept would work if it was ran and executed better. I cannot speak on the food as we stopped just for drinks. I can't blame the bar tender if he was new, he was trying and that's all that counts. But after reading negative reviews then going anyways and having this type of mediocre experience does not resonate well. I just hope that they can figure it out or have new management take over.
