I came up from Utah County to check this place out since the establishments used to frequent in my area aren't worth my patronage anymore in the slightest bit. They're seriously horrible. The Rusty Nail Saloon felt like I was back home again and had that familiar, friendly, welcoming vibe and atmosphere I was really missing. The staff was always right there to serve us and were incredibly nice and personable. The bar itself was open and didn't feel cramped like other places. One thing I really like was that there were at least 3 or 4 seemingly different areas that each offered something a little different from one another. But at the same time they were all connected and anchored around one central point, the bar, which still made it feel like one big space so you never felt separated from anyone. The other people there were really friendly and nice. No brawls breaking out or wanna be tough guys peacocking it around the place. Just people looking to relax and enjoy themselves. My favorite kind of people lol. It's definitely quite a bit further for me to travel when I want to go there, but it's completely worth it to be at a place I know I'm going to enjoy myself every time I walk through the door.

Was a really positive experience at this bar! My husband and I went for a farewell gathering of a friend moving out of state and I really liked the setup of where to sit and gather. The bartender immediately greeted us and my husband tried out their raspberry mule and she made me a free mock tale since I mentioned I was the driver for the evening. A lot of bars I go to usually only have water as an option so I was pleasantly surprised by getting a delicious alternative! The drinks were on the affordable side compared to other bars too. The outdoor seating was comfortable and spacious. Jenga was a hit! They have multiple sets too so more people can play. As my husband and I were getting ready to go we were trying to get a group picture of us and the bartender offered to take the picture for us! She definitely has me wanting to go back!

we came out for date night to see how it was since we were used to 3alarm. bartenders were on top of things and great. Front door staff... The door lady walked up and aggressively snatched a pool ball out of my boyfriend's hands. apparently she thought that we were playing too much pool. security staff for such a small place just walking around staring down everybody like we're doing something wrong or were criminals. One of them was pretty rude acting like he was upset that he was cleaning up empty beer cans and glasses like it wasn't his job. The people were cool the atmosphere was kind of off considering it's like a daylight in there and you don't feel like you're in a bar. people were allowed to hoard pool tables so no one else could play. was not the best bar experience. felt like we were being watched by prison guards. we met cool people tho.

Been giving the place a chance over 15 years. Wish I could even call it a cool dive bar, but it’s not. The place never disappoints to disappoint. Bartenders are awful if you’re looking to get busted by The cops after you leave, go there. The place is a liability.

If I lived close to this bar it would be my main watering hole. Really chill mature but not old crowd and 4 terrific 7 foot diamond pool tables. Service is prompt and friendly. Under new ownership the new culture really shines through and the Nail is a very welcoming spot. I had one of the best salads I ever had there too. The Rusty Nail Special Salad is awesome and so are the tater tots!

The owner Michelle is absolutely amazing. She genuinely cares about her people or customers. They’re not even customers or guests in her home five star review hands-down will return.
