Manager and Staff are Worthless. So i just moved from chicago and wanted to go out for a good time. i stop in and have a few drinks, dance with a beautiful girl, and try to mingle. i order a couple rounds of shots and drinks spending a couple hundrend. never pay cash, the staff wont bring your change back. i ask what time bar closes and manager says 1 on thursdays but will give you time to drink your drinks if you order another round before 1:00am. yeah not the case. i order a round another $70 bucks or so and at 1:02 they kick me and my new found friends out. so just wasted all that cash. they are crooks and very unfriendly. dont go there.

YUK! What a difference a year or two makes.. This used to be one of my favorite places to get great wings and inspired margaritas. Not so much anymore. Made a special trip last night only to find there were NO chips and salsa, the wings were straight out of the frozen food isle and the sliders were uninspired. My margarita consisted of juice and a tequila shot.

The manager was not interested in my complaints. Will never go back and will make sure I let all my friends know they ruined a great restaurant.

SO not worth the paid parking to go there.

Good food nice atmosphere. I have enjoyed Bar Abilene the past few years. Great guac. and burgers. Fun crowd. Good drinks. I especially liked their happy hour specials this past summer. Half price anything always works for me. I like sitting outside and watching the folks go by.

A bar/restaurant for everyone. Everything here is pretty good, but not great. Good food, good drinks, and a decent staff. It can get crowded later at night, but that can be a good thing depending on what you're looking for

Disappointed. After making reservations for 10:00 pm for a party of 15 on a Wednesday night, they decided to close the restaurant at 11:00 pm. As the website said they closed at 2:00 am, we asked why they were closing so early, they stated because of the crowd. Since we were pretty much the only group in there, they felt it necessary to close down. I wouldn't have had a problem with this, however they should have at LEAST let us know on the phone, before I had made the reservations for 10:00.

Some of the group came in at 9:30 (before the reserved time of 10:00), instead of waiting at the table they had reserved for us they decided just to go to the bar and order drinks. They would not let them order anything at the bar if they were there for reservations. The group explained they were half an hour early, they continuously said that they had to sit down at their reserved table and just wait for the waitress. We did this multiple times just to get a quick drink, only to be turned away.

The staff didn't know much about the menu at all. I had seen on their website that it was $3 margaritas on Wednesday, when I had asked about that they stated there was no such thing written like that on their website. Of course when I looked at the website the next day, it didn't exist and I know it was on there before.

Unfortunately their guacamole was VERY good, but I will not be returning to support this restaurant. Based on how we were treated and how they clearly did not want our service, there is no way a restaurant like this will be able to stay in business for much longer.
