Eli’s Sports Bar & Lounge — Restaurant in Fremont

NEW OWNER TERRIBLE I've been going here for a while. I didn't realize there was an ownership change, and my regular bartender was gone, so I asked the new bartender about if she had the night off? She was very rude to me about asking and didn't say anything about where the old bartender was. She just ignored me and walked away. Ummmm ok.....

Nice little bar. It use to be called Shoe Sting but different owners now. The wings are pretty good. Didn't get to try anything else. The drinks are average but what is not average is the cost of the drinks. Too expensive!! The cost for 2 Lemon drop Martini's, 1 Seven7, 2 six piece chicken wings was about $78. Later that evening went to dinner. Had 2 prime rib dinners, 2 gin & tonics, 2 cokes, 1 slice cheese cake. Also $78. Granted the restaurant we had dinner at wasn't upscale but the food was good. Eli's tall beers are...
