I’m not even sure why I keep going back. I went in and got a drink, I finished it and slid it over to the front of the counter to catch the bartender’s attention that I was empty and wanted another one. 15 minutes passed and I wasn’t offered another drink. Keep in mind I used to be a regular and often tipped 20 dollar bills on 20 dollar tabs, barely ever asked for anything complex.

Read moreRising Tides is my new favorite neighborhood spot on Garland Rd! The vibe is playful and welcoming—think karaoke nights, a pool table, board games, a stage for live entertainment, and plenty of TVs to catch the game.

First time great Karaoke but they were hired and phone went missing miraculously but staff found it…. I don’t know but something was off.
