I hit up Ralph's for some karaoke last week and it was a lot of fun.
I dont know where all the angry people are that Chad was talking about, all I saw were happy folks shooting pool aned singing their hearts out. Â
I had a great time, I loved the cross section of folks who were there and I cannot wait to go back.
Thanks Ralphs, for a ridiculously fun Tuesday night!
^^ this guy is half true. There are still happy, friendly people in Tracy.
Went here for the first time last night. Why? My brother wanted to do some karaoke so we decided to just come along. I'm from Tracy so I know what to expect. Scene was good, people were friendly, & karaoke is always fun esp. drunk karaoke. BUT, the bartender was horrible. I think her name was Marlena. She yelled at my brother for ordering too many drinks. FYI...he ordered five drinks. I think it was just too much for her to remember.
When he ordred, she yelled, "Are you fcuking kidding me?!" And we all thought it was a joke, but sad to say it wasn't. Needless to say, we didn't leave her a tip. And she kept it up throughout the night. She threw away our full beers & drinks while we were having a grand ol time karaoking. But, we still bought more drinks.
Overall, I had a fun experience. Ran into a few people we knew when we were young. haha. And company always makes up for terrible customer service. Thank goodness for that! Good times in grand ol Town. But seriously, stay away from MARLENA. There is something wrong with that one. And tell her to put some clothes on! NO ONE wants to see a 50+ year old lady wearing daisy dukes & a halter top do they?! I think not. Â We may just have to come back here just to say hi to her.
What is a Tracy bar? What is Tracy, for that matter?
At this stage of the game, Tracy is a hopeless mishmash of locals angry about their town turning from rural stinkhole to exurban stinkhole and East Bay transplants bored out of their skulls and maddened by two-hour commutes. What's a Tracy bar? Where the two meet.
This used to be the farmer's bar, situated as it is on the east side of town, just over the town line. Five nights out of the week you can get a spot at the bar no problem, and a shot and a beer will run you $7, tops. Bartenders know who you are pretty damn fast, they have karaoke once a week -- a Tracy must-do -- and there's plenty of parking. Also right next to the police station, yet I've never had a DUI while leaving here.
Would get four stars if Alex  bartended every night. If you drink in Tank Towne, meet this man. Know this man. He will take care of you. Best barkeep in town by a loooooooooooong shot.
