BarFly's Review of Wetland's Public House (CLOSED)
Closed. See Primetime Bar & Grill
Big, brawny bar caters to a surprisingly diverse crowd of bon vivants. Outgoing staff of self-described "sexy bitches" pour good drinks and keep good company. Pool x7, darts x2, pinball, megatouch, decent jukebox. Sports on 8 screens. Never a cover, aside from band nights (about once a month).
Dream on Saloon
I was a regular at the Wetlands, and they are all very nice people there, the night chef is a great cook as is the weekend one.
The regulars are very nice, and there is usually very little drama that goes down there, so I highly recommend it. I took my mom there and she thought it was fabulous and she is from New Zealand.
The goonies drink here. And the weekend pool tournament director has a pool cue up his ass.
We were there tonight and the bartender was the rudest man. My dad lost $5 in the change machine, and the guy acted like my dad was a thief, not to mention yelling at him as if he was trying to knock down the change machine. My dad only gave it a tap! Whether the bartender chooses to not review the camera footage or count the change is one thing, but to be as condescending as he was is unacceptable. We're regular customers and my dad's impaired by a stroke. I hope the management pays for some customer service training for that guy.
I went there for the first time last night and it's a pretty cool hang out spot! Not too many people, but not too little either. And there wasn't country music playing all the time. They were actually playing hip hop last night.
I think Wetlands is a great bar, only because its down the street from my house..no drinking and driving...I like the area and people that go there and the food is awesome. One think I would change is the damm country music playing all the time when the juke box isnt going. Country can be very depressing. overall; I would recommend Wetlands becuase its cheap drinks, good eats and once in a while you can have fun.
