PT's

I really like the location of this PT's. It has a certain charm to it being tucked in under a hill of the Black Mountain. The building looks very new and the interior is smaller, but modern and clean. When I arrived late afternoon on a Thursday there were only couple of other patrons there. The female bartender was very friendly and accommodating. She told me about their $2 Dos Equis special. I usually do a shot of whiskey and a beer if I am not in the mood for a cocktail. They didn't have Jim Beam's Devil's Cut so I settled on Jack Daniel's Honey. I also told her about the Yelp check in special that is good for one free domestic pint or a well drink. She was very excited that someone has finally claimed it. I opted for a whiskey sour and another beer. I asked her if she could change one of the TV channels to a news channel and she happily obliged. If she stayed, this review would have easily been four stars, but it was the end of her shift. A male and female bartender took over. Their focus became on the silver hairs that kept on trickling in -- the regulars I guess. I asked to look at the food menu, and everything was pretty pricey for bar food. The cheapest burger was ~$10... no thanks. I finished my drink and called it a day. The total was only $10.50 because they had good specials and my free check in drink. One star for the location since it is walking distance to the house and one star for the initial bartender. If you're not a regular expect to be ignored.

I feel like this place has changed a lot over the last few years.  I remember when they first opened - everyone was friendly and helpful and compd drinks while gaming were a sure thing.  It's a nice enough bar, fairly small for a PT's, but there is still plenty of seating and a large bar.

I don't find the staff to be as friendly as they were - there seems to be a lot of turnover of the bartenders here.  The drinks are reasonably priced and they have a decent selection of draft beers (nothing out of the ordinary though).  Typical bar food, in my opinion.

There is nothing that really "WOWS" me about this place, other than the fact it is not far from my house and they are open 24 hours (although I have somehow been turned away more than once - who knows what was going on in the bar).  Sometimes there is also a shady crowd - I was in there one night when a HUGE fight broke out. One dude actually had a barstool and was about to hit another dude, but luckily there was a table full of off-duty Henderson police officers who got things settled pretty quickly.

One thing to note: it gets really smoky at times.  If you don't like eating while the person next to you chain smokes and blows it right in your face, I would suggest goig somewhere else.

I'll open by saying that it delivers three things for me and friends that go in:  it's close, it serves great bar food and drinks, and it's cheap.  The entire bar is clean and presented well.  And the staff are always friendly, if ever changing.

There are two pool tables, plenty of LCD tvs for watching sports, and a few games to play.  As a close neighborhood bar it delivers.

Walk in and say hello to Steve at the bar.  He's a great bartender.

As a chain, it's not creative.  It isn't unique.  But this location in particular does a great job at delivering on what PTs does best.
