The Rail

My regular football bar was sinking in quality, so it was time to try something different. Was about to go into Ricos but saw The Rail two doors down so decided to go with the new place. Its adjoining the Turlock Poker Room, but you barely notice that, this is a cool, comfortable place with 3 TVs showing games.
Having recently opened, the bar & bathroom were immaculate. Not that I don’t appreciate dive bars, but clean is good too. The ladies working the bar (I had to stay for two shifts, in the interest of getting a good feel for the place) couldn’t do enough for you. Not only ordering food from Ricos, but running down to check on it! If you want to play Keno, they ran the ticket into the poker room for you. Microwaving popcorn, keeping the glass full. You get the impression from the time you walk in until you stagger out that they are glad you are there. For being a first timer, we got off on the right foot.
Now this kind of service may not be available on a busy day, but any bar on earth I’ve been in the bartenders would be checking their phones under similar circumstances.
The beer selection includes local taps, Dust Bowl & Sandude.
I never had such a good time watching bad football.
