Look. The bar n patio are lovely and the drink menu nearly as uninspired as gratuitous.
However....don't go there if you're not into less than friendly, aloof even, staff who attempt to make themselves appear waaayyy more informed than you when you ask for 2 luxardo marinated cherries and he corrects you by saying TWICE
" they're Maraschino Cherries"
(Yes. I know.)
And I guess don't go there if you want a bartender to recommend libations by promoting their specialties or say... Conversing with the customer...
Definitely dont go there if a 10$ tip for 2 drinks is too shabby for even slight eye contact from the bartender.
and maybe don't go there if u feel like laughing and don't want to be stared at. I dont know.
Maybe just don't go there.
I'm likely not as there was nothing impressive about it now 3x, and let's face it. I can't feign disinterest and detachment at that level. Haha
They think they know they're better than us.
Au re vours Argus
Great place downtown to drop in for a nice quality mixed drink. Great atmosphere for visiting. Inside, outside seating. They don't serve food, but allow "take-in", and there are many choices nearby on foot.
They need a better mixologist. the cocktails are always terrible. They have fun themes, but every time I go in and try a new one I'm always disappointed. Also, over the years I've noticed the staff has never been the friendliest.
It's sucks, because the atmosphere is nice. I really want to like the place, but I don't think it's going to happen for me. I've given them many chances. Lol
Friendly service and they had LOTR on the TVs. The vibe is fun, more adult than other Chico bars which focus on students. The cocktails were fine, nothing exciting but better than other local bars.
Argus is the type of bar I don't want to leave a review on because it means so much to me that to rave might bring bad vibes to it. I moved states away but Argus has been the hub for many a good night simply because the bartenders- inside and out- have to my experience been too notch compared to almost any other place I've been to. The bartenders are knowledgeable and friendly, the TV's have either vintage movies or something obscure but acceptable sure to start a conversation, the happy hour is decent to say the least, it's really just a haven
Idk. I just love that place
Nice little hole in the wall for a drink. Smokers patio available. Very popular with the college crowd.
The bar and patio feel like two different worlds. The patio is super fun in the summer with concerts almost every week. There is also a bar in the patio. The bar inside is pretty swanky and the cocktails are first class!
Really cool place with a great selection of cocktails and drafts. Ultra-high ceilings with a huge patio with a projector screen playing dope flicks and shows. Staff is very welcoming and helpful. A nice gem in the heart of downtown.
