The Beacon

I've gone twice and both times it was a bar experience. Atrocious the first time, mediocre the second. The first time we were ignored, when we asked for a drink the server acted so put out. The second time, better service, but basically I felt like I was in HS all over again, surrounded by mean girls and it was way too clique-you for me. They don't offer food, which is fine. Service was the worst and atmosphere was the best out of all 3. I would not recommend and I would not go back.

Just a so-so place. Okay service. Ordered a black and tan and bar tender had no idea what I was talking about... I didn't order any food. Not even sure if they serve any. Best part was meeting some regulars.

Good spot to stop for a beer or mixed drink in a small group. Not the largest selection of hard spirits or beer, but does have quality product. The music is a bit loud at times, but still a good atmosphere.

I would give zero stars if I could. We walked in and sat and were ignored for over 10 minutes. Bartender finally looked over at us and said “are you here for drinks?” We said yes. She then said “Oh.” That was it. She then turned away from us. Then we walked up to the bar and ordered drinks, which were on the specialty menu at the table. The bartender looked at us, rolled her eyes, and let a huge huff/sigh. I asked her if there was a problem. She didn’t answer. We got our drinks, drank them in 2 sips, closed out, and left. It was THE MOST terrible service I’ve ever had. It’s Christmas time in CDA, it’s beautiful. Not sure what we did wrong, but that’s absolutely NOT an okay experience. Choose any other bar in CDA!

I wanted to like this place, but the experience fell short. Service was slow and inattentive, drinks were poorly made, and the overall atmosphere felt disorganized. Hoping it improves, but I wouldn’t return based on this visit.
