Sammy's

Went to Sammy's a few times during the holidays. The bartender service was sub-par and I'm being generous. Asking for anything beyond popping the top off a beer bottle was like teaching astrophysics to 3rd graders.The men's bathroom had a foul smell that burned your nose hairs from 30 feet away. They actually have hundreds of flies to guard the men's bathroom to keep anyone from stealing the filth.The pool tables are obviously rentals and are in terrible condition as expected. You have to literally beat four quarters into the pool table to get the balls to come out. Not that it matters because the table is warped and every cue stick is bent or broken. I guess they are keeping with the 'we are a dump' theme.The good news is that there are other options less than 1 mile away after you leave your half empty drink and flee Sammy's for better environment and service.

Definitely a hidden gem in the area as you would never know from the outside just how welcoming and laidback this place really is, but as the old saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover...Sammy's is the kind of place you go to when you just want to get a nice cold beer after a hard days work, no questions asked, no pretenses, get away from reality for a bit, maybe make a new friend or two or just disappear into the background, either way, come as you are, as you won't find any judgment here.Think Cheers, Paddy's, Mode's Tavern or even my personal favorite the one and only Regal Beagle, and that is what you get with Sammy's. No drama, no frills, no nonsense. What more can you want? Well, food would be nice, but if they had that, I would probably sleep there and put them in my will, so probably water that they don't have food. Next time you are in the area, why not stop in for a beer or two or maybe ask them to make you something original, as you just might get sucked if you aren't careful, and that wouldn't be a bad thing.

Service was terrible. I counted eight patrons in the bar and the bartender ignored me a full 12 minutes while she scratched an itch between her legs and played on her phone. To add insult to injury the drink was stale because the soda gun had obviously not been flushed in a decade or two. It was pure nastiness! Needless to say I did not finish the drink. I did not tip. I left.

This is a private bar. They do allow well behaved visitors. I enjoyed playing a couple of games on the billiards.

The first thing that will welcome you is the foul smell of urine. The next thing will be the watery mixed drink with a stale tasting soda mixed from a soda gun that hasn't been rinsed out since 2004.I would not visit Sammy's in Pineville again if you offered me a million dollars. It's 10 minutes of your life you can't get back plus the wasted drive to another bar outside of Pineville.

Looks great inside. Unfortunately that's all that's good. The table we sat at was sticky. A bunch of locals filled the bar area and the bar tender (only person we saw working) ignored us for almost 10 minutes. We decided to leave.

Stopped for a few drinks while traveling through....Good Sports Bar with friendly staff and patrons...I will definitely be back...

Brandy was extremely professional and provided incredible customer service even during a hectic period. The atmosphere was inviting and warm will definitely come back!!!

They are thieves. They will carry your card to the back make a copy and then try to ask for your zip code "because that's is the only way to put in your transaction" they say, I feel so bad for the people who have fallen for this. Run!!

GARBAGE BAR ... not a dive bar. The entire place smells like urine. Most of the evening patrons are service workers so the smell is compounded by the body odor of everyone else. The drinks are cheap but the crowd is sketchy. Rarely see any women.
