City Slickers

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The management and way they treat their customers is absolutely astonishing. After witnessing a really uncomfortable interaction between a bartender named Anthony and my friend about a month ago, I have not returned because of how rude they treated her. My friend jokingly asked where the bartender was from because she picked up on his "valley accent"... she is in no way homophobic or discriminative in fact is probably the last person I would call that... so when she asked the bartender that I guess he got offended for her mistaking his sexuality with a valley accent? Obviously not meaning any harm at all. It was crazy how he reacted. She apologized and then he actually said he was from LA which makes sense bc he had a valley accent it was almost like he was looking for problems. At one point in the night, Anthony stepped outside and shut the door, cutting off the music so we couldn't hear in. My friend went to reopen it, but instead of handling it calmly, Anthony came back out and aggressively confronted her. He literally asked, "Are you trying to be a bitch, or are you just a f***ing bitch?" It was seriously so shocking. Everyone around seemed taken aback by his behavior.. it was so so so immature, unprofessional and totally out of line. It definitely changed the vibe of the place and made for an uncomfortable experience.I've worked in the service industry for 8 years and I have never once seen this level of insanity with staff members towards their customers. Not professional. Very immature and embarrassing for them. Do better.

UPDATE: I can appreciate a veteran owned business and that updates have been made. This was not an establishment that looks like it was updated anytime recently but you're right, maybe this isn't the right place for us and that's okay too. Good luck!Seems very old, bartender wasn't friendly. My husband and I had one drink and left. Not sure how to improve because so many things are missing...

Kellie and Madelyn are literally the best. They make great drinks and hold good conversation. The patio is huge and has several fire pits. I'll definitely be back!

Poor service, rude bartenders. Bad vibes all around! It seems like this is a common theme from looking at other reviews.

Michelle the owner is truly god sent! We chose city slickers to have my sister wedding after party because a lot of guest were staying at the hotel next door. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our night great. She did so much for us and it was a relieving feeling since we were going through wedding planning. Recommend this place 1000%. Aside from the event I come here almost everytime I'm out in Folsom and it never disappoints

I love this bar. Good vibes, good drinks, and amazing bartenders. Madelyn and Kellie are welcoming and keep my friends and I coming back.

THIS PLACE WILL ALWAYS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART. My wedding after party was here and the owner was absolutely amazing!!! She gave us a special treatment out of the kindness of her heart and I will forever recommend them to everyone! The service was amazing. The bartenders are awesome and efficient. I will never forget walking in and the entire bar erupted into celebration because the owner had everything in place and set up for us to party! LOVE LOVE LOVE! They deserve all the business and I hope that they continue to be able to make peoples experiences amazing and memorable! Thank you for everything, Michelle. You are THE BEST!!!!

I love this bar! The environment is welcoming to all, the food is good, and the bartenders are great. Kellie is my favorite!! She makes the BEST yummy drinks and is friendly to everyone who came in, she also has a great sense of humor -- I'll definitely keep coming back!

I came here with my friend and she was verbally abused by the bartender Anthony. I thought we were having a normal conversation, and we mention the beer we had was flat, the girl bartender was super nice and said they'd repour it no prob, and she told Anthony but then he came over to us and was pissed, was super unprofessional and gave us serious attitude for no reason.He said he didn't have any problems pouring it for other people that day, and so he doesn't see why we thought it was flat. He could've just told us he can't or won't repour it. Another patron was next to us and asked to try it, and we said sure and he said "yeah, it's flat" but regardless Anthony didn't need to give us that much attitude and be that unprofessional because we pointed it out and it somehow pissed him off personally. Maybe he was having a bad day. But no excuse.Next we went outside and were having a good time talking and listening to music, when he closed the door. We opened it, because we couldn't hear the music and we liked the song, and he immediately comes back out and looks at us and asks "Are you trying to be a bitch, or just a fucking bitch?" And we were taken aback. I couldn't believe he just said that. Bad day or not, nothing happened at all to warrant that question and being called a bitch.My friend asked why he called her a bitch, and he said it was because we asked if he was from around here or SoCal, because he had a valley girl accent. Which my friend also has, and her family is from LA.The owner then responds to her Yelp review regarding this experience, saying this was homophobic to ask, when it's literally just called a valley girl accent.If he took it wrong, that's on him, there was nothing bad intentions and if he had a bad day that made him take it wrong, when I thought we were honestly just having a normal conversation, that's on him. But NONE of this warrants calling a customer bitch.He could've professionally asked us to leave. Instead, my friend felt she needed to confront him about how he could do that and to point out that it's fucked up and unprofessional and unnecessary, and he got offended and started calling her a bitch over and over again near the jukebox. The other bartender girl kind of understood us but as they argued she of course took her bartenders side.Nothing that happened that day warranted a bartender to call my friend a bitch to her face and again and again after she felt the need to confront him.This whole thing on their end has been blown out of proportions by the owner and the bartender, and I hope they can just take some accountability that NOTHING that day warranted calling my friend, a customer, a bitch.

Came here with my bestfriend. They have a sign that says they skip metal songs, but they skip any song that isn't their vibe. One guy who I assume is Bar back ( black beanie and a white tank top on) heard us singing a song. It was changed 20 seconds into the song. We were disappointed because it's one of our favorites, the guy next to us even made a comment about why they would change the song if people were vibing with it. The bar back then exclaimed right in front of us how that was much better. My bestfriend. Who payed to listen to the song said she disagreed. He walked to the back thinking we couldn't see him called her a bitch to the bar tender (he was great). After he talked to him the bartender reimbursed us for the credits we spent on the song. Well left shortly after to spend our money elsewhere. Bartender handled it great. Other guy could really use a course in customer service.
