Visited Doc Brown's for the first time 3/22/24 and approached slender young girl bartender at the main bar. Ordered a Effen Vodka and tonic and asked her what it cost. She said she thinks its $9 ... walked to the register and said, "Yes, that's what it cost". Paid her with $9 in cash and gave her a $1 tip. She left her shift approximately 10 minutes around 8:20-8:30pm and another young lady took over. A short time later I went back to the bar and ordered another of the same cocktail. This time the new bartender rung it up at the register and charged me $5. I was shocked that the first young lady stole from me. Now that I recall it, she never put the money in the register. She kept it in her hand, emptied her tip car and proceeded to count her cash. Can't believe that she stole from a customer like that nonetheless being in charge of cash. I wonder what she steals on a weekly basis. Very poor character. I gave the listing three stars due to that encounter. I did enjoy the vibe of the establishment however doubt if I return with staff stealing and being dishonest like that.

Editing review.I would suggest people close out soon as they order a drink. I tipped $15 on a tab that was for a bucket of beer and 2 shots. I left a $15 tip, my bank statement reflects different compared to the receipt. Someone changed the $15 to $25. Yes, the transaction cleared and not pending days ago.Again, watch your money and close out soon as you order.. They would assume people get too drunk to remember the night I suppose. Can't imagine how many times they "made a mistake possibly" or how they "used to have to have that problem with their previous staff". Check you current staff perhaps.And to Docs, "No...". Keep the extra $10, there was no mistake and whoever stole from me needed it.

I asked how you do the long island tea? And the bartender said we made it with 4 liquor. Long island tea is vodka tequila triple sec rum and jim. We pay for long island tea not for wherever they make.

Doc Brown’s Saloon is a must-visit spot for an unforgettable experience! Always bustling with energy, this saloon guarantees a great time for all. A standout event is their Working Women’s Wednesday, which is a perfect mid-week break. The highlight of the evening is the fantastic performance by Mario Flores, which adds a special touch to the night. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a busy day or just seeking a fun evening out, Doc Brown’s Saloon is the place to be!

They had decent music, the bachata was nice outside. The drinks were fine, but don’t stay out past midnight at this bar. That’s when all the hoodlums came and started drunk yelling at each other and one ended up shooting a shot in the parking lot! It spooked my date and it ruined the entire evening. Will not be coming back here after this event. The decorations are a bit tacky as well

It's been awhile, but a last minute thing for wifey's birthday tonight 1 Dec 23. Before been hear when crowded and a few times not, but aways was good time. But I agree with some of your other low comments. Not to be critical, the dance floor is on the big side and part of the traffic way. It would be best served on the right side of bar from DJ/stage area to wall away from traffic. I understand customers can be a bit much, but everyone is not tip minded nowadays. Maybe increase bartender's wages to $7.50 to $10 would be cause happier employees and the drinks will flow much better/tabs. I use to be a DJ and the bar owner (prior DJ) told me if people are not coming back or buying drinks she didn't need me. Her recommendation was play to the crowd if nobody is dancing make changes based on age, attire or female to male ratio that night Then play in sets fast-slow-fast e.t.c. Slow music gets those dancing a break and guys a chance to buy girly a drink ? or get their close dance on ?❤️? more drinks. You got to have & attract ladies, then the atmosphere if guys don't feel comfortable to ask (based on music) a lady to dance, a big waist time coming, then not enough drinks are bought and over head out ways the cost of operations. Also security's UNIFORM, be it pollo shirt (red, yellow, BLUE!) T-shirt or even sports jacket needs to stand out. To deter and defuse issues as they arise. Maybe add a rating on the restroom to ur review as well, Holler ?
