Margarita Republic

Drinks-2 stars. Food-3 stars. Experience- 3 stars. I came on a Saturday. I thought it was really cool that they were open late and had a dj. The area is heavily populated with retired folks so it was nice to have something that closed later. It’s a bit expensive for what it is(drinks 7-10 each) however I wasn’t charged an entrance fee/cover so I can’t complain too much. Here’s the thing it’s a great place to hang out in the area. The drinks are overpriced for what they are. The drinks tasted great. It’s just that I didn’t taste any alcohol in it what-so ever nor did I feel any affects. It was like drinking a smoothie instead of a margarita.The food was fair and be aware that there is a late night fee for eating which I though was strange but it’s is what it is. It wasn’t bad by any means, but it’s bar food. This isn’t a bad place to go but you need to manage your expectations. It’s more of a party atmosphere to dance and play pool. It’s not super clean but I had a decent time. The drinks will not give you any sort of “buzz” so know that going there. Your paying more for live entertainment, competitive hours and enjoyable ambiance. If you don’t like loud-busy bars with average food and drinks then this isn’t the place for you. My recommendation would be to put a tad more alcohol in your drinks and provide a menu for drinks so pricing is more transparent.

Ordered the Admirals platter. The food was cold disgusting and had a BUG in my fries (which they wouldn’t let me take a picture of)! The platter was supposed to come with scallops and they gave me the order without the scallops stating the price of scallops was too high! I didn’t want the food due to the unsanitary nature of what was given and they tried to give me a hard time about REFUNDING MY MONEY! Horrible would not recommend on any day of the week!

No one here seems to know the hours. We walked in at 9:45 and the waitress pointed out that they closed at 10 PM until she saw our clearly identifiable service dog. She said “no dogs” And walked back to the hostess station with the menus and at that point told us “we’re actually closed now”. We insisted on speaking to the manager, he told us that her behavior was inappropriate and apologized, then he told us that they actually close at 9 PM. I pointed out that Google specifically says they close at 10 PM and he went on to inform me that I can’t believe everything I read on the Internet and something about a seven dollar hot dog but it didn’t seem to fit into the conversation. Really?! Everything on the Internet isn’t true, I am crushed😭. I was nice enough to put a Google edit in for them, I really hope they appreciate the time that it took me. It would be great if they actually posted hours. The waitress was rude And certainly ignorant of the Federal law regarding service animals. She actually told us the restaurant doesn’t follow that law. When I pressed the issue, she rolled her eyes and made a “pfft” noise and walked away. If you’re looking for someone friendly and accommodating...don’t stop...go straight to the bar and see the bartender. If you’re looking for insincere and condescending manner take it up a notch and ask to speak to the manager. We won’t be able to give any reviews on the food or service because we certainly won’t be going back there anytime or encouraging anybody else to go there unless of course we really, really don’t like them and then will probably buy them a gift certificate.
