Rusty Nail — Restaurant in Redding

I will say this the prices here are great and the couple of times I have come were really good until Super Bowl Sunday.

Normally, I have a tab between 15 and $20 and I tip appropriately. Today I had a higher tab due to the holiday and I didn’t tip appropriately. I can be honest and say that. The approach of the bartender, getting loud and disrespectful with me about a couple of dollars on a tip was highly unnecessary and extremely disrespectful

Being as she was communicating with a person who me and my friend had a now resolved problem with and telling him I support hamas because I don’t support the CLEAR GENOCIDE IN Palestine and was pointing fingers at us right before she behaved this way, it made me feel disrespected as a customer of this establishment, and an American citizen BORN and RAISED in the USA.

She could have easily informed me the next time I came in “hey i don’t know if you were a little bit extra buzzed, but you didn’t tip me appropriately last time” or something of that nature, but she chose to do it loud and make a scene in front of a bunch of people about it and for that reason, I will not be returning to this establishment

I’m sure this place will do just fine without my money but at the end of the day I’m pretty sure the owner doesn’t appreciate losing customers that are consistent because the bartender doesn’t know how to balance and speak to people with respect

I’m not your husband talk to him like that

Oh and by the way, supporting innocent Palestinians, mostly WOMEN and CHILDREN being VICTIMS of their governments behavior isn’t supporting Hamas but u can say that to others and not to my...

Since the owner was kind enough to comment on my rating, I felt that I should elaborate on my review:

I have visited "The Nail", as we call it, a handful of times in my many years living in the area. I feel that the atmosphere is sporty and the drinks are always good. By good I mean that they're not watered down and not heavy-handed. Just right.

My one and only issue with this laid-back and friendly bar is that I consistently have to wait a decent amount of time (5 minutes or more)to be recognized by the bartender before I get to place my order even when I'm standing at the bar.

On the day of this visit, I was with two other ladies, the bartender was kind enough to come take our order at our table and bring us our drinks. After the initial order, the place became busy and we never heard anything further from the bartender. We placed enough money on the table to cover the bill and her tip and left.

I realize that it's hard to know what to expect for traffic this time of year and to staff accordingly but it seems that one bartender may not have been enough on this particular day.

Of course, should I ever be in the area and in the tipsy shopping, no-hurry mood, I'll be back with no hesitation. Hopefully, then I'll be able to add another Star to my review. 😊

I hope this...

The first couple times I went here, I was undercharged for my drinks (at least I think I was). Sweet! The two bartenders are really nice/outgoing and remember your drink order even if you haven't been there in months. A lot of colorful regulars frequent the nail, which adds to the experience. My only minor complaint is that you have to tell them the amount you want to tip before they run your card or else you have to tip in cash. Basically, make it easier for me to show...
