Desert Inn — Restaurant in Lake Oswego

All in all, this place is not terrible. Lacey is wonderful and Renee the karaoke DJ is a dream! But I am writing this review specifically about the bartender Craig. If I could give this review a minus 10 I would. We went to sing karaoke, have a few drinks and go home. There was a female that approached my husband and came on to him. I met her in the bathroom and told her that was my husband and I would appreciate it if she didn't come on to him like that. I said calmly that we are all adults and I didn't want a scene or to embarrass anyone. She said thank you to me for addressing her calmly and that she didn't know he was my husband. I said okay and we parted ways. She proceeded to go out and tell the bartender that I threatened her and was even crying!!!!! Craig asked if we had an interaction and if I threatened her and I told him I didn't know what he was talking about. He told me what she said and said she left in tears!!! I said okay, I approached this female and explained the CALM conversation we had , and that I did not threaten her. He accused me of lying to him and asked that my husband and I leave. I became tearful and told him that is not what happened and asked why was I being kicked out...he again told me I lied to him and said I needed to leave. It was her words against mine and I have never had any confrontations at this establishment, and in fact have spent a lot of money there and patronage, even referring people there for karaoke and great atmosphere! This was the worst night ever and to be treated like that after being a faithful customer for years, I will never return to this place. Craig appears to be high on methamphetamine on a regular basis and his mood is unpredictable. I do not feel that he made this decision in good judgement. I have never been more insulted, and he was literally screaming in my face. Unacceptable. I hope he gets fired. He is literally the worst bartender I have ever met. Karma comes around, and I pray God...

Very bad service bartender is very rude older lady I came here after work just wanting to unwind from starting a new job but was meet with extreme rudeness I thought maybe because I’m African American she treated me this way so beware all people of color you might not get good service although the customer were nice the bartender gave...

This bar is great if you’re looking to have some affordable drinks and good conversation with people you just met. Most folks there know each other and they were friendly to me, which doesn’t always happen at bars. I love “dive” bars and this is one of the best. It’s welcoming, decently priced, and clean. What more could...
