3 reviews for Ugly's
I first came to Rocky's nearby and the entire place was packed to the brim and boisterous. Karaoke was in full swing and someone was doing a rendition of Lauryn Hill's Doo Wop (That Thing) and I was really glad they decided not to do the rap part. It was obvious that the mob of patrons have all been drinking for hours so it was crazy inside, so a friend and I decided it was best to go elsewhere. We knew that Ugly's was nearby and decided to give this bar a try.
When we walked in we were by far the youngest people in there but the patrons were extremely nice and made us feel welcome. There were a handful of folks inside and the environment was relaxed. They offered us some pizza that they had recently ordered, so that was a kind gesture on the part of the patrons considering that they were most likely regulars and it was our first time there.
They do have pitchers, which is a good thing. The highlights on tap are Sierra Nevada and Guinness so the selection was okay considering that many bars don't even have pitchers or that great of selection on tap. The day I came here the female bartender was attentive and the patrons were really cool for offering what was left of their pizza to us when we showed up. The backup plan to go to Ugly's was a success.
Ugly's is a place only a mother can love. A dive bar in the truest sense: loud metal bands, inside its way hot, women in too much make-up, cheap drinks, and pool tables.
The clientele is high brow, like me: Long gray beards on bikes, chicks in leather, and general punk kids in way too much black.
Yes, a dive bar indeed!
My cousin and I were in here knocking back a few dozen and playing pool (free on the back table, the front table is used for additional seating.
The bands that were playing were loud and fast, always a nice touch. Eric the bartender was a fun guy, swapping stories, pouring drinks, and they had a bottle of Crystal Skull vodka. Yum!
Décor and other niceties are not here. Don't even ask. It's flat out rough and your prissy clothes would get ruined here. Stay out so the rest of us riff raff can have a suitable place to go with other real people. Anyplace with a sticker on the bar that says "Some call them assholes, we call them customers" is OK in my book.
I ditto Zakk D's sentiment.
Look up "dive bar" in Webster's (that's a 20th century search engine for you youngins'") and this is what you get. Eardrum splitting metal bands. Women in marginally appropriate attire and good drinks for the money. Probably not the caliber of Rain in Vegas or even Harlow's in Sac. But it is what it is, and doesn't pretend to be anything else.
