The Dive On 495 — Restaurant in McAllen

Ok, I really liked this bar until tonight. The manager and waiter were very out of sync OR PLANING ON SCREWING PEOPLE OVER (probably the second one). We got there and ordered our drinks, appetizers, and plates as usual. There was this female server greeting us at our table so we ordered our usual (two) drinks. Then two more drinks. Everything ok until this man (waiter/manager) came over and said, "I'll bring you two shots, what do you want?" We were like, "no, we don't usually drink shots, so... we don't know... Are they going to be free?" Since we never tried ordering shots. The guys said, "yes! So boring! Do you want lollipop, etc, etc." I said, "sure, whatever you fill like." So they brought two shots. Fast forward to the end, they ended up charging us the two shots AND one extra martini with the rest of what we ordered, because they "didn't communicate about it and ordered two martinis instead of one to the bartender." I was OK with the extra martini, but not ok with the shots they charged, since we never had the intention of ordering them. So I told the guy (who was acting like a supervisor/manager) about it. He said he'd take care of it, but of course he never did. Anyway, we ended up paying for everything and leaving. So here's your head up with the people working there. We ended paying over $100...

I went to this bar to sing karaoke and have a great time with my friends, however.. the energy was cut short for me. Idk why but when I sang my song.. it even got cut in half, didn’t even do half of the song before it got cut off. I felt the lady in charge of Karoake was taking something personal against me because she skipped me on another turn as well.. and when I went up to ask about it , I had the owner telling me something .. all because I was trying to figure out if I was next.. I didn’t appreciate that at all because I had got referred to this place as it should’ve been good.. however the fact that the lady in the karaoke was trying to take over herself only .. was not cool at all. My name was signed before one of my friends.. however , she completely skipped me and chose the song of my friend which was a duet she was going to do too so she personally preferred herself over the customers. My song was cut short and I just didn’t feel the good vibes, the owner and the lady in charge of the Karoake here are HATERS. For absolutely NO reason at all. Owner came up to me and wanted to get me out because I said that I was in line before my friend… however the karaoke lady was clearly being possessive over the mic so like it’s just very selfish vibes … not at all what a karaoke place...

I'm an actual patron and not a friend of the bar and here is my experience. The only thing good about the dive is karaoke DJ Rolldog and the live band. They list a drink price up on the board and then they overcharge you wonderful I'm out no thanks I prefer honesty. When I ordered the hornitos with orange slice they told me it was a ridiculous price and not the price listed@7$ So be cautious they like to apparently over charge and over price things. Agressive bouncer and bar manager. They slandered my friend and attacked his character in front of others and that's not okay. This was very embarrassing for my friend. They made him pay for a drink that he was not allowed to even consume after slandering him and that's not okay either. This was on the 4th of July night 2023. I don't recommend a bar that falsely accuses people of drug use in their bathroom or place. We do not do drugs, only the legal one alcohol which they sell. They should apologize for their behavior and refund the drink as well as reconsider who they hire (people on power trips) or get out of the bar business all together, if this is how they treat an upstanding patron consuming...
