Fun... the tiny little girl with messed up tattoos working at the bar has attitude... she need help....

Sadly there was only 1 waitress working on that Sunday we went. She did amazing though, we understood she was being overly worked. The manager did not lend a hand at all and just watched her run around the place. She deserves a raise for her smile under that pressure. She consistently apologized for the delays, we told her is was alright. Kids had fun on the games though and there was a lot of space. Good food and fun.

bar serves minors , wouldn’t recommend get mad when they find out but half the time don’t ID customers 🤣

I came here three times, it's a lovely place with friendly service! The only reason it's 4 stars is because the food is quite expensive for what it is.

This place was great at first, but the games need maintenance and it feels dirty inside. It was not busy when we were in there and the servers were incredibly slow. Too busy talking with each other.

Today i visited Las Cruces for the first time all the way from Canada. Everyone that i know that has been to Cruces recommended me to go to RAD. My experience at RAD was deeply disappointing and uncomfortable, largely due to the conduct of one bartender Carmen who displayed behavior that came across as blatantly racist and openly rude. From the moment I approached the bar, the tone was hostile and dismissive, in stark contrast to how other patrons were treated. It was impossible not to notice the difference in attitude, service speed, and basic courtesy being extended selectively.
Simple requests were met with eye rolls, sharp responses, and an unnecessary level of aggression that felt completely unprovoked. Meanwhile, customers of a different background were greeted warmly, joked with, and served promptly. This inconsistency didn’t feel accidental — it felt intentional, and that’s what made the situation so unsettling.
What made matters worse was the lack of professionalism. Bartenders represent the atmosphere and values of an establishment, and in this case, that standard was completely absent. No one should feel belittled or singled out while spending their money and time at a bar, especially in a setting that’s supposed to be social and welcoming.
RAD may have the potential to be a great spot, but experiences like this overshadow everything else. Until there is accountability, proper training, and a serious commitment to respectful, unbiased service, I would strongly caution others who expect to be treated with basic dignity and respect. No drink, no ambiance, and no reputation is worth tolerating discrimination. Definitely will not be visiting again i hope this situation is escalated and investigated

my server carmen was very rude and profiled me and my partner
Was once a fun little place. A lot of broken vintage games and pinball machines. We popped money into 13 games and we're only able to functionally play 4 of them because the others were broken. Average bar food. Great location. Limited seating. Patio seating available. Limited parking, there are several shared lots on the neighboring streets.

Very loud, overpriced games. Men get pat down but I guess women aren't considered a threat. The tron drink was decent. My brother nearly got his hand scaled in the men's restroom, so use caution, but I guess at least you make sure you have clean hands 😅 . Decor is interesting. There was old and young people there. Weird mix of vibes to be honest.

Bring ear plugs because the music sucks and is way too loud. If there were a single person was dancing I could take the hit.
