A: I have been here a few times. I have heard a few shows here. I have played a few games of billiards here. The tables are entirely too close together. It is free so I cannot hold that against them. I have seen a gigantic, near-NYC size rat here once (no bullshit)(Well, it may not have been that big, but it was not small.) I wondered how the fuck a rat gets on this roof to begin with -- but beyond that -- how in the world do they not have some sort of competent pest control that would mitigate for this guy. I mean, I am not big on killing animals, and technically this guy is an animal, but man ... Southern Nevada Health District ... where are you? They sell food here. Drinks too, I suppose. I have never imbibed. Read above. Additionally, what I can certainly hold against them is being kept out of ticketed shows that I actually had fucking tickets to! Note: Arrive really late, and it may very well happen to you as well. First time this happened was for Robyn. No shit. It was a Coachella 2011 run-off show, on Thursday night, and I was doing an early/late: attending Arcade Fire/Local Natives at The Joint, then hurrying over for Robyn. My tickets were at Will Call and I was sent every which way in an extensive, not-much-fun Scavenger Hunt which lead to nothing but us leaving displeased with the Cosmo. Second time it occurred was for a show I cannot recall. (It must not have been that important.) Anyway, even without a ticket, I made my way up to the entrance area and the door obviously knows my ugly ass from previous shows because after about twelve seconds of explaining that there was no Will Call and what-the-fuck, they let me in. Third time really pisses me off. Fuck Robyn and the second artist I cannot even recall at this point. We are talking Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes. Edward Sharpe! This ... well, I will revise this review at another time, because I was not going to accept being locked out of an Edward Sharpe show I actually had Ticketmaster ducats to right in my hand and it is somewhat of a longer story. How many characters are the maximum allowed again? Until the next episode ... - E

Q: negative

A: It's a production brewery and not much else. In that matter, no tasting room and you can't just visit it out of the blue. They have a tour once a month. It's pretty much walk in and stand in one spot because its a very small spot. The beers aren't anything special and that might be because they constantly change their recipes. Their one-offs tend to be their best bets but consistency in making them again is apparently tough for the brewery. (Hence "one-off") Better bet going to Tenaya Creek or Big Dogs where you can see the Brewery as well as drink there. Banger Brewing downtown is also highly recommended.

A: Oh Pappadeaux's, how I wish you were closer to my home. If I didn't have to drive 40-45 minutes to get there, I would probably spend my entire paycheck on two things: Oysters and Fried Alligator. As such, I'm going to stick to those two things in my review. Those are really the only two things that I eat when I go, because I cannot get enough of them. First things first, the staff and ambiance. The music can get a little bit loud, but the atmosphere is always fun and upbeat. The staff all seems to be pretty friendly, too. Our server was especially friendly and helpful. This is definitely a place I like to go to with my friends to hang out and have a good night. Now, I'll talk about the food. First, the oysters. The oysters here are great! They give you a few different sauces to go along with them, each of which has a distinct, delicious flavor to add. To make the oysters even better, they have incredible deals on them! They only cost about $4.00 per dozen for the special they supposedly have running almost all the time. The type of oysters that you get on the special vary based on whatever factors affect the catching of oysters. As for the Fried Alligator, IT'S FRIED ALLIGATOR. As soon as I saw it on the menu, I had to have it. To quote one of my favorite movies (Transformers), "Alligator is the most succulent meat." The Fried Alligator here is one of my favorite things to eat. I absolutely cannot have enough Fried Alligator. The meat is moist and juicy with a light and non-fishy flavor, and the batter/breading layer is fried crisp. That combo of the moist meat with the crispy outside is phenomenal. Add on the dusting of cajun seasoning and the creole dipping sauce, and you have a dish you won't forget. In conclusion, I definitely recommend this place. I can't really speak for anything other than the oysters and the fried alligator, but do I need to? Come on, it's Fried Alligator and cheap oysters! Stop reading and go to Pappadeaux's!

A:
The business hours state that they open at 9am it's 9.17am now and they still didn't open. What a joke. Beside that my package was supposed to be dropped off at my house on Thursday which I needed badly for one of my customers, I paid for overnight shipping . It's now Monday and they still don't know where my package is.
