Corral Bar & Grill — Restaurant in Chino

I've been coming here on Saturday nights for almost two years. Jennifer is the regular bartender. She is always friendly, attentive and works very hard, no matter how busy.

This Saturday (2/24/2024), there was another female bartender that I've never seen before. I arrived at 9:25pm, sat at the bar and ordered my drink. The bartender had a bad attitude from the start. I was patient, watched the TVs and waited almost 10 minutes before she finally returned. She didn't bring my drink but instead asked if I was alone. I said, "yes." She then rudely asked me to move over a seat -- there were 3 empty bar stools and I was sitting on the middle one. I turned around and saw that there was a couple behind me. I had no problem moving so they could sit together and would have gladly offered to slide over if I saw them. BUT, as a patron I shouldn't be asked by the bartender to move since I was there first. I did move over anyway, the couple sat down, and the bartender walked away.

Another 5+ minutes passed, and the woman next to me raised her hand to get the bartender's attention. The bartender came back over, glassy-eyed AF and asked me, "what did you order again...I forgot?" I was MORE THAN PATIENT. I had already waited 15 minutes to be served. I told her my drink again, and by the look in her eyes, it was like nothing registered with her. So I repeated it. She said that she heard me the first time, gave me a dirty look and walked away.

The Corral was my first stop of the night. I didn't have a drop of alcohol before arriving but it was obvious that the bartender had waaaaaay too much alcohol or was under the influence of something.

I had the pleasure of meeting a woman in October or November of 2023 who said that she was the owner of Corral. She told me that she came in town from Arizona to cover the bar because Jennifer was camping that weekend. We conversed for almost an hour. She put credits in the jukebox and offered to let me play songs.

Jennifer and the owner are both very welcoming. Unfortunately, it only takes one sloppy, unprofessional bartender who drinks too much on-the-job to lose a regular customer. There are many other places to...

To be honest I like the place, it's really chill and Chris is awesome. But I only like it when she's there. The other lady was there on Sunday and over all was not very nice. I now know why they aren't busy on Sundays. They have maybe 5 televisions but the lady couldn't find mist games. When my game started she wasn't much interested in finding it for me or at least trying very hard to do so. I told her she can't find it. I'll leave and her answer was pretty much for me to leave so I did. Might be back on Monday to watch the night games but only because Chris is there. The food is okay. They could do more but I think they are trying to save money. Some...

Went with My mom and My Best Pal Doobie 💙🐾 during the 2023 NFL Football Season. While there we had appetizers and drinks. The place wasn't on packed, but it had an ok flow of customers. I'm mentioning this because within our time there, there was only 1 server, but I'll be damned if anyone complained. I can't remember her name, but she was frkn FANTASTIC 👏🏽👏🏽, not Only was she Attentive, and Quick, along with a GREAT Personality, to my mom and I, she also was kind to Doobie. If you're an animal lover, you know that...
