The Saloon

Not sure but Chris R must have been in a different bar for his 6/23/13 yelp review.
The first time I visited The Saloon I instantly felt like I was back home - great neighborhood bar.  Regarding the customer service it  has been nothing but great customer service  - especially Joe the bartender !!!!! Friendly and fast service.
This place is a lot of people's "Cheers". A great place just to hang out on the weekend, stop for a beer after work, or round out a Saturday night  and you won't break the bank spending a couple hours here.

Worst customer service it have ever experienced in a coastal town. Tried to grab a cold beer on a Friday night there, line was out the door. Waited 20 minutes to get in, got to the front of the line, and the FAT/BALD white guy with a huge ego complex decided to make us wait another 10 minutes while he indiscriminately let under age females in without even checking their IDs. They didn't have the needed stamp to enter again.

The fat white bouncer proceeded to belittle the patrons in line, calling them obscene names and referring to them as "sheep".

I asked for the manager. Then a black bouncer tells me that he is the manager, and proceeds to dodge my question of "what is your name?". He also would let females in without waiting in line, taking $10/20 bills from guys to skip the line, and more.

This isn't Las Vegas. This is a dive bar in Encinitas. Stop acting like you're a part of a big club scene.

I was sober this whole time, and was planning on having a cold beer after a nice hot day. That's all.
