Cadillac Ranch in Sparks = Lame

Cadillac Ranch celebrated its grand opening at The Legends in Sparks on Friday, August 7. After dinner and hitting Hot August Nights (ie-Freezing Cold August Nights in 2009!) we thought we’d swing by the area’s newest bar to check it out. A bunch of our friends we already there and I’m generally a big fan of new places.

Oops. Spelling Error.
Cadillac Ranch was immediately, and I mean IMMEDIATELY, disappointing. They apparently think that they are worthy of charging cover (really? Cadillac Ranch is just a bar…and there was no band…?) for patrons to enter their sidewalk gate. Only to have to stand at the bar for 15+ minutes waiting for one of the many snobby bartenders to even acknowledge my presence. The kicker was that at around 17 minutes I received my check, but still hadn’t received our drink order. Cadillac Ranch…really?
Being that we had to wait such a long time for the first drink, we didn’t bother going after another and were gone within the hour. It was fun to see some friends and take a look at people riding the mechanical bull, but good customer service is what would bring me back to Cadillac Ranch, and they definitely came up very, very short.
I am, however, looking forward to checking out Rack & Pinz next door to Cadillac Ranch, and to the Forever 21 opening!
Update:
I was so annoyed I even yelped.
