OMG! I've never been here before and as soon as I walked through the door I fell in love with this place! They had Rock Band 2 on the big screen at the back of the bar and a Nintendo Wii up front! My friends and I had so much fun pretending to be rock stars all night! I even got up and sang Wonderwall (I sounded horrible, but for some reason nobody noticed!) The service was good and the food and drinks were great! The crowd was sort of mixed up with a lot of college kids but also a bunch of 30-somethings. Everyone was really cool though and we made some new friends too! We'll definitely be back next Wednesday night to play Rock Band! Pros: Rock Band and Nintendo Wii on Wednesday nights! Cons: Sometimes hard to get the bartender's attention

Gone to Joshua Tree once. I can't not write this it is so gross...Hair in my food and a big insect (for some reason the website won't let me tell which kind...but a kind you don't want) in the booth i was sitting in. Crawling right next to my head. Manager just asked me if I wanted to move to another table. DISGUSTING!!! I will never go back there. That place is dirty! Pros: location Cons: dirty

The Joshua Tree is always packed at night with a crowd that ranges from College kids to the 40 and 50 year old crowd. A good mix of music. I've heard a string of songs that go Snoop Dogg, Journey, Pearl Jam, Bon Jovi. Decent Beer selection, but sometimes hard to get a drink so be prepared to be patient and have to weasel your way to the bartender. Pros: Atmosphere Cons: Crowded

Went in for lunch with a few friends today (weekday). We end up to be the only party left in the place, having a lot of fun. One extraordinarily drunk regular (we assume) came staggering over to our table, accosted our Middle Eastern friend and his wife, harassing them, and stayed continuing for what felt like forever. The waitstaff let it happen, watched it all from the sidelines, doing absolutely nothing, let him tell us 10 times he was a 'boxer from Ireland' and even ripped his shirt to show us his muscles. They still did nothing. Nobody else in the place, remember, only us. After 5-10 minutes of this scary encounter the bartender (a girl) said "hey come on back over here by the bar, ok?" and THEN the waiter (a guy) came over. A few minutes later they let the man come over AGAIN, and they reacted slightly quicker to get him away since we were obviously upset. We never got more than one mumbled "sorry about that" from the waiter. No reassurance that he's harmless or anything. The drunk man was extremely big, scary, drunk, and only wanted to harass our friend from the Middle East and his wife, didn't even look at the rest of us at the table. No management was there, no answer on the phone as I've obviously been trying to call to reach someone. This was completely unacceptable behavior. The waiter took the appetizers off our bill, but he obviously didn't get any tip from us since he left us in a very dangerous situation. Aloof waitstaff let us hang out to dry. Do not go there if you have any friends that are foreigners. I still can't reach management....unacceptable. Cons: Service

This is a great place to go on a Thursday night. Stopped in a few weeks ago and finally they have a dj that plays great hiphop and spins some nice tunes. It doesn't hurt that the guy also is pretty hot. The drinks and food are okay nothing great but we had a lot of fun we definitely will go back just for the entertainment. Too bad the dj is not there on the weekends. The staff is friendly but it did take a while to order and get our drinks. Pros: dj on Thursday nights, food is good Cons: service could be quicker

If you want to watch the game, or pick up a tufts chick, the Tree is your spot. Unfortunately it is not the best set up. The bar is to big for the room, so you end up squished against the wall and have to wait extra long for a drink. It does have a big screen and a bunch of other tv's so if you live in the area, which I did for a couple years, it's the best place to catch a game in davis...which isn't saying much. Food is good pub food, fairly priced, but overall, the service is pretty crappy, and the one manager I met came off as rude. Bar staff was pretty friendly overall. Pros: tv's, pretty bartenders and servers, good looking clientele Cons: college crowd, cramped, service

The menu can get boring, though they do try to add diversity with their specials. The quality of service can really be hit or miss. Sometimes you're tempted to get up and go to the HUGE bar yourself in order to fill your pint. The Tree has become more focused on it's nightlife atmosphere - the place is packed with Tufts kids on certain nights after 9pm, and then any restaurant service goes right out the window... as well as any hope of being able to talk to your companion across the table! The Joshua Tree has a warm spot in my heart - but I hope they continue to cater to the faithful locals, and not just the drunken college crowd! PROS: convenient, fun atmosphere CONS: crowded, poor service
