The worst martini I ever had is housed at this place.An extra dirty gin martini is my go-to, and as long as you have gin, olive juice, and vermouth, its pretty hard to mess up. A friend and I dipped inside of this neighborhood bar to avoid the golf ball sized hail that was coming down in Dallas (and in the month of May?!) We were promptly greeted by the young server, and she introduced herself as Breanna. Super sweet, attentive, and just overall warm. We sat down to review their menu and instantly noticed the pricing. "Gah damn, they high!" I said aloud. Ya'll, it's a very basic bar---kind of in the middle of nowhere and they want $16 for a plain burger? I think high dollar restaurant, Knife, even has a cheaper burger. I put my menu down because it was at that point, I knew I wouldn't be eating there. My friend has given up the devil's juice, so she ordered a VIRGIN mojito. The devil still has me in his grasp, so I went with my go-to, a dirty martini--extra dirty. The beverages came out roughly 10 minutes later. I knew we were going to have a problem when I saw a red coffee stirrer in my drink--and no olives. This is a sports bar---very similar to a Boomerjacks or something so I didn't trip. Ya'll, I took one sip, and it took everything in me not to spit that sh!t right back out! Oh, my goodness--it tasted like lemon juice concentrate and salted water. ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE. My friend tried her mojito, and it was just as bad. We didn't want to be "those" customers, so we sat there and drank the worst cocktail (in her case, "mocktail") we've ever had in our lives.It gets worse from here!!! Breanna brings out our check. $35 for the 2 drinks!!?? I was floored. The struggle martini was $15 and the NON-ALCOHOLIC mojito was $15 as well. They also charged $5 in miscellaneous beverage taxes. I told Breanna that there must be a mistake. Breanna ever-so-preciously confirmed that the price was the price. I couldn't believe it! We immediately paid and exited the bar with the quickness!! Breanna was polite so I'm giving them a 2, but NEVER AGAIN!
