Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Brentwood

KEEP TRACK OF YOUR TAB! This review is way overdue. I went here a few weeks back and when I did I found it kind of awkward that you had to take a picture to enter. The crowd was mixed, but in all honesty it was mostly young and ghetto. I started a tab and we were having fun, but the bartender girl was rude and had no clue how to make drinks. I ordered a Long Island for my bro and all she poured was gin and vodka with a splash of coke and S&S which was partially right. Then I ordered a Jager Red Bull but recieved Rock Star instead. What really got me though was when the girl next to me ordered 3 Coronas and was charged $17.25. That's $5.75 a beer and not even a good one. It's no wonder I noticed a lot of people babysitting and visiting their cars or pulling bottles from purses. The cake topper to this though is when I went to pay my tab and it seemed extremely high for the 6 drinks I ordered. Nearly $100. I asked for a breakdown of my tab and she reluctantly got it and tossed it in front of me. Low and behold there were drinks on my tab I didn't order and when I questioned her about it she said my brother ordered them. I told her he doesn't even drink that drink and if he did he would have asked before putting on my tab. Then she said well he did too bad and I said even so she never okayed it with me and when I called my brother over he said the same thing I did. That he doesn't drink that and he wouldn't do it without asking. We got the manager or owner involved and he was like she already changed it and said he did. So knowing they can't bill me without a signed copy of the receipt I grabbed it and started walking out when he had all his guy stop me threatening me with the cops and physical harm if I tried to leave with the receipt. I told them to go ahead and call the cops, but he wasn't getting the receipt until the correction were made and the correct amount was charged. The I told my brother to call the police for him and then they jumped to rectify the situation. I've talked to a few people about this and apparently it's happened to them or someone they knew not only at this location, but the Antioch one as well. So when going here keep in mind to bring enough cash for their overpriced drinks. Also don't expect any friendly service from the staff. parently it's happened to them or someone they knew not only at this location, but the Antioch one as well.

Decent beer selection and friendly staff. Food has been disappointing lately; 3 fried pickle spears (about 3/4 of one pickle) - $7. Shame on me for ordering that. Garlic fries came out greasy and limp, so I sent them back. Second try came out crisp, but even more greasy and the oil tasted old. Returned those as well. Finished my beer and went to Taco Bell.

New review 9/2/22: I've been a patron of tailgaters for over 15 years. Unfortunately, the pandemic and a new owner have wreaked havoc on the quality of food and policies. I completely understand the need for increased prices, but that should not be paired with an inferior product. That is what has happened at TG'S. Burger patties that used to be made in house are now frozen, dry, hockey pucks. $7 will get you 3 fried pickle spears (that's only 3/4 of a pickle), and an order of calamari comes overcooked and rubbery. Once upon a time, spending $150 as a rewards member got you a $10 credit. Now one needs to spend $250 for the same prize. I guess the upside is that one gets there sooner with the inflated prices. Of course, that 10 bucks buys much less in return. I also have a problem when the happy hour menu states, "imports/microdrafts and bottles - 5.25," and then I'm charged 6.50 for a pint of Breaking Bud, which is brewed in Auburn, CA. They've literally had that on tap for years, and yet the had to ring it in as a Siesmic ale of some sort. Sorry, Siesmic is a rotating beer and not included in the happy hour pricing. Too bad there's no mention of this on the menu. But I didn't even order that beer. I ordered one that, like I said, has been on tap here for years. It can hardly be called a "rotating" beer when it doesn't rotate. The one redeeming quality of Tailgaters is the staff. The people that work behind the bar are friendly and efficient. They welcome me by name and do their best to meet all of the customers needs. If it weren't for them, I...

I went to Tailgaters for the first time on St. Patrick's Day 2013 for Happy Hour with about 8 friends. We ordered drinks/beer and $2 appetizers.

It's a sports bar, so there were sports on all of the 20 or so TVs, but it wasn't loud, so we could easily talk in our group.

Our waitress was attentive and checked up on is regularly, and kept the drinks and food coming. Not mind-blowing service or anything, but above average at least.

The appetizers were excellent. $2 (at Happy Hour) will get you 4 wings in any of a dozen or more flavors, 2 big potato skins, a small but reasonable plate of nachos, or several other items, and at those prices, you can afford to order a wide assortment and share, which is what we did. The wing sauces were all very good, and we tried at least 6 or 7 different ones. The potato skins were also very good.

Decor was fine, but typical mom & pop sports bar, nothing fancy. They do keep the place decently clean, though, which is a plus.

Overall, we had a great time, and I'm looking forward to the Antioch location opening, as it's very close to me. I'm not normally a big bar guy, but I'll definitely be spending some more time...
