Had a terrible saturday night due to bartender working that night. Ashley cut me off after 2 drinks due to no tip. She also told one of the guys in my party he was getting served last due to no tips. Reason for no tip was she was only stuck to one side of the bar in the hour we were here. She was bias in all her sales due to selling to her friends.

We ordered double-shot margaritas and mostly got ice. The drinks were watery.

I went here to get a drink at the bar. The issue is, I was served a drink and then I told that it was cash only. What are you supposed to do if you don't have cash?
Todd Weaver
Getting a drink was BRUTAL unless you were brown at the main bar!

Had a great experience up front with Ashley and nohely, my brother passed 3 months ago and I tried bringing my emotional support dog and showed my certificate and both kind women let me in, i had buddies with me and walked to the back where a bre was working i could tell she didn’t like my dog and she had a bouncer ask me for the same certificate this was the third time i showed it and it i respectfully told the bouncer good gosh how many time do i have to do this, I went and put my dog up and wen t back in, me and my company spend 100 of thousands of dollars here in Carlsbad and will NEVER BE BACK TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT BECAUSE OF BRE YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT A INDIVIDUAL IS GOING THROUGH AND FRANKLY THE RUSE LADY DOESNT CARE

We love dive bars, and this place checked all the boxes. Friendly staff and customers, fun bar seating, and vintage decor!
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
