The Locker Room Sports Bar & Lounge in Warrenton, Virginia: 5 Reasons to Avoid It

Here are the top 5 reasons The Locker Room Sports Bar & Lounge, at least the one in Warrenton, VA, is a really bad place to spend an evening. I could list more than 5 but my space is limited.

1. Expensive Drinks

Okay, so technically Warrenton is Northern Virginia, which is as expensive as Los Angeles and parts of New York City. But realistically, it's a town in Fauquier County which is the southernmost county in the Northern Virginia area, and there's nothing to do here and it's still basically surrounded by farmland. So having an "upscale" nightclub in town is a stupid idea to begin with, but if you're going to open a fancy bar and charge outrageous prices, at least make it worthwhile. The Locker Room does not. The beer is expensive, about $5 domestic OR imported, the mixed drinks are weak and come in plastic cups, and don't even bother wasting $8 on a glass of their awful wine. Which brings me to my next point...

2. Lousy Service

Not only are the drinks way too expensive, but if you start a tab you need to keep a pen and a pad of paper on your table to keep track of how many you've had; otherwise the waitresses will charge you for about four more than you actually had. I'm not exaggerating. I've been there five times now (the last three times were birthday parties I couldn't get out of attending) and every single time, either I or someone in my party has been gypped out of at least $20 in drinks they never had. On top of that, if you can get your waitress to come by your table twice in one hour, you have the best one in there. At my sister's birthday party, we were there for about 3 hours and the waitress came by TWICE. Again, I'm not exaggerating. I ordered a chicken sandwich which I couldn't eat because it was so dry - the waitress didn't bring any mayo with it and by the time I could track her down the sandwich was cold and I didn't want to eat it at all. Also, if good service to you means tight jeans and visible thongs you're in luck; if you want a friendly attitude, attentiveness and to get charged for what you actually bought, you're screwed.

3. Bad Atmosphere
