Accuracy Matters
This bar is in the area where people walk from bar to bar. They have a female bartender who tells regular customers (who tip well ) not to use the bathroom if they don’t purchase something. Others here are great and they give excellent service. This review is specifically because of this bartender. I’m not naming her because she knows who she is, and so do regulars. She’s known for throwing people out, and for rude service. If I come back and she’s the one working, I will leave, or not tip her. She has to be friends or something with the owner because customer service isn’t her area.

Place looks GREAT! Love the new remodel. The lighting and atmosphere was spot on. I cant say enough about the quality of service. Sam’s could easily be compared to a now days cheers. Super friendly staff and patrons.

I can not say enough about this place. They make you feel like family. They make sure you’re comfortable and treat you like a regular always. It’s clean and has a favorite of FREE snacks and other food for purchase. They have weekly drawings and slot machines for anyone who’s looking for a little extra cash

Stop by and see Brandon! He is the magic man behind the bar. He knows how to make you feel welcomed and a guest in his family business. Great libations and great atmosphere. His popcorn is a special treat!

Love having Sam’s Take Time as my Neighbor. The new lighting on 17th Avenue is awesome and I enjoy seeing the change of colors reflecting the holidays and seasons. So good having a great neighborhood business which has been established since the early 20th century when crouds would flock there to celebrate the outcome of pigeon races.

Some of the best bartenders for 100 miles work here. Brandon is a great mixoligist who has extebsice knwledge about the best drinks. The evening late night bartenders are impeccable at creating an enjoyable atmosphere for any group or slow night.
I love this place so much it has become a staple and a standard by which I judge other bars.
Don’t get me wrong, Sams is a local bar filled with local folks. Most of the patrons are easy going, hard working people, that just enjoy the bar life. Great atmosphere to start or end a night.
Because of this bar I have sought out local towny bars in other towns/cities like in Florence, Italy or New Orleans, LA. I had managed to find local pubs off the beaten path because of my extensive pleasurable experiences at Sams.
I will forever live this place for the beer choices, excellent cocktails, but especially the atmosphere created and maintained by the bartenders and regulars.

I was a designated driver and it was blizzard like conditions outside. As soon as I entered this establishment I went to use the restroom and decided against it. bathroom was dirty, no doors on the stalls, door didn’t close all the way, and it smelled of stale urine. It was only 8pm and the bartender told me I had to leave because I couldn’t present my ID (it was left in the car in the blizzard) I didn’t order drinks and it was only 8pm. Will not return and I will encourage my friends not to either.
