Shakertins

The wife and I went to Shakertins yesterday evening Thurs July 25, 2019. We sat outside on the patio and listened to some great live music. The weather was really nice. We got there about 6:30 PM just before the music started at 7. Needless to say there were no servers attending the tables outside. Had to go inside to the bar to order drinks.

Finally at about 8 PM a blonde waitress started to wait on a few tables but ignored the rest. After a while I went back to the bar to order and as soon as I left the Mgr came to our table and asked the wife if we needed anything. Really? After I leave to go the bar you ask if we need anything? Terrible service and right under the mgr's nose.

The owners could be making a lot more money with a better wait staff.

I'm giving this place 3 stars because the bartender did a good job with our drinks and food order. Yes I had to go inside to the bar to order a burger from the bartender who also had to bring our food to the table. I appreciated his service and of course I was glad to tip him accordingly. Why this place has a wait staff.... I don't know. The burger was excellent, although I did picked up a little too much cumin (I think) in the meat?

Next bad mark.... the restrooms. I didn't notice it in the men's room but the wife came out and said the women's restroom was disgusting. She said the tile had gunk and mildew all over it and the toilets looked as if they had dried puke on them and not cleaned in weeks. She said it was the worst restroom she has seen in any restaurant of this type. It's more of what you'd find at some truck stop gas station along the highway.

Value: The three of us had two mix drinks, 6 craft beers and one burger and the bill was $44.38. Not bad.

Overall; Bartending was excellent. Live music venue was excellent. Nice patio - although the broken string lights need to be replaced. Burger was excellent. Bar service excellent. Good value and atmosphere but the owner needs to get a handle on the management, the wait staff, and cleaning problems. So much potential at this place and so many negative reviews about the service.

Great customer service nice and fun atmosphere and good drinks dog friendly too

Brad Hawkins, who is an owner/partner Contacted me via Facebook to address the issue i had with Shakertins. I think its great that he personally reached out to me to solve my previous problem, and i would like to say that this is admirable of him and i am satisfied. There are no issues. And i have always enjoyed the staff and General Manager Allen, is always a wonderful host.

This place is always a good time. Allan will make you feel like you at home, but all the staff is excellent. Great little local pub.
