We have been to the Cactus about 10 times over the last year.The atmosphere is really nice & it is really close to home for us. HOWEVER, the PRICE GOUGING is unbelievable! I am really just ticked about the whole flipping thing! Whether we are with a large group, double dating or by ourselves-it happens time & time again. The price of drinks varies from waitress to waitress, bartender to bartender - WE MADE A GAME OF IT - testing to see if in fact it was really happening. We involved several of the party with us, went station to station-waitress to waitress.... You would have been amazed at the differences.
True Example: Waitress#1=$8.00 bottled beer, Bartender #1=$5.50, Waitress#2=$7.50, Bartender#2=$5.00
You would not believe the variety of prices we got for SHOTS (same shot, ordered the same way everytime)
RIDICULOUS!
We do have ONE exception: Bartender at the 1st bar on the RIGHT as you pass thru entrance. He wears a hat. He did not over price things, he made eye contact, was attentive, cordial etc.
The WORST was the bartenders in the back bar & the outside bar - DON'T even get me started on the waitresses - YIKES!!!! BEST ADVICE: "DO NOT RUN A TAB WITH WAITRESS" ***VERY bad idea***
PROS: Great Ambiance - Le Freak is the best (get there early) - Texas Unlimited is great too
Bartender (wears hat) at 1st station was the better of the employees.
Good Luck!
Cons: Prices, Ouch
