What People Are Saying About Cactus Bar and Grill
The Editor

The Scene – Mounted fish vie with mounted cacti for prominence in the blazing color scheme. Downtown white-collars who appreciate hearty partying head here by the droves after work; throbbing music is inescapable throughout the two rooms, leaving patrons to shout or get very close to communicate. Middle-managers shed the work day by playing pool, watching one of several TVs, or taking advantage of good food and drink specials. – – The Draw – Cactus' full bar serves two dozen local, domestic and imported, plus near-legendary margaritas, popular martinis and fruity…

Worst service EVER!
by Grrrlacher at Citysearch
If you want to go to a place where the bartenders are rude, the waitresses even ruder, and the managers could care less, then this is the place for you. We went on $5 pitcher night, thinking wow, what a great deal. And what do you know, it was busy...who would have guessed that such a hot spot would be busy on $5 pitcher night? Apparently, not the people who work there. There were maybe 2 waitresses and one bartender, and since we had to wait over an hour for 2 orders of chicken fingers, I'm assuming the kitchen was understaffed as well, Instead of apologizing or even pretending to be the least bit nice to our group, the waitress refused to even discuss it with us saying, whenever we managed to track her down, "you can talk to my manager" with as much attitude as she could possibly muster. Needless to say, it wasn't until we started getting really upset that a manager ever decided to grace us with his presence. In the end, our food was comped...I would rather have paid full price and been treated with a little respect.

I have one word, cockroaches...and not to mention their manager was completely inappropriate when we went to talk to him and then proceeded to try and make a pass at me and my girlfriends after we told him about their problem, despicable

After Work Utopia
by myopic at Citysearch
Well...I know this place very well, we usually book our company outings at Cactus twice a month.
Wow...The margaritas are extremly strong and delicious while the appetizers are cheap and tasty, be sure to try the Death Valley Chicken Tenders. Recently, we have been stopping by after work on Tuesday for their $3.00 Miller Lite Pitchers. What a DEAL!!!
- Pros: Huge Bar, Great Margarita's, and friendly staff
