Nice Dive bar, just had to get up and leave due to service. I was initially served before shift change and ponied up the first time soon there after. Well I finished the first of my two beers right after and waited literally 20 minutes before I was tended to again. The bar is small, and yes people started to come in after I sat. But bar etiquette to me is, after I finish a beer I set the empty across from me on the bartender's side and I usually get approached in a timely manner, I noticed the new bartender was catching up on new orders and perhaps others so I waited patiently. No rush, initially. I like a good country tune on the jukebox and I'm messaging on my phone. But soon it becomes obvious that I won't be tended to unless I speak up. So I did, and got blown off. I was told to hold off, ok, I have been holding off for a while now, but I will wait a little more. I see the bartender serving a new customer before me after that, could be an oversight or doing right with a regular, I don't know. But THEN another new arrival pulls up next to me and she takes his order and serves his beer right there! Honestly was it too hard to grab both our beers out the same case and serve us both? Anyway she obviously saw the look of surprise on my face. By then I was already settled up and grabbed my beer money off the counter and put my sweater on, I was done and leaving indignantly, when she finally served my beer as I stood to leave. I should have refused it, but I drank it with as much class as I could muster and left a tip after throwing it back. All I can feel or observe is that there was a common denominator at this bar, and I was the 0 that wasn't carried over in the equation if you know what I mean. I won't be back. Well wishes, it looked like my kind of place, too bad y'all made me fell out of place

I am Jevon of Albuquerque ⭐️ a.k.a. Johnvon. I was a weary traveler who needed conversation and a refreshing libation. I stumbled into Cals western shade. On this particular evening I can’t across an excellent and friendly staff . A cheerful woman by the name of Dez gave me valuable information to help me navigate my journeys while I inhabit and experience the surprisingly beautiful Carlsbad, New Mexico. .(they have a decent river . At least to those of us who live in the desert. There’s also a giant hole in the ground that possibly goes to inner earth ? ?—- Agartha ⭐️?.. if you subscribe to that knowledge) Any who Libations were appropriately complementary for a small town western bar in oil field territory. Nick nacks festooned the walls. pool tables and salt hockey aka shuffle boards also What time is it? The space of this planet known by locals as The Shade. The Germeral ambience was cheerful, and there was plenty of lovely ladies that came

Had a blast. Great staff. Good place to kick back and enjoy some adult beverages and while spending time with family and friends. The food was pretty good also. Definitely will be back soon!!
Just spent $75 to play a game of bowling. But the machines were not working for 1/3 of the time. And then we were not even able to finish out one game. Then staff refused to extend time for us to finish. We won’t be coming here again. Go to Artesia! They will treat you better!
