Lively's The Ridge Grill - Chattanooga

David is the best bar tender! He makes everyone happy and have a good time.

It's just your basic dive and that's not a bad thing. Bartender could have used some training. .

I should state that I have no problem with dive bars but I have gone here several times and not once have I gotten respectful, decent service. Their burgers are good but the drinks are barely decent. It takes forever to even get the attention of a bartender to take my order and then they take far to long to actually get me my drink. When I 've ordered a burger, which is actually delicious, I have waited around a half hour for them to start cooking it, from where I sat at the bar I can see the flat top grill. I found much of the staff to be downright disrespectful. If I 'm going to pay $6 for a shot of rum and a half of a can of coke I expect it to be in a glass cup, not a plastic cup. The place is fine if you 're just ordering a beer but I don 't drink beer. There were a couple times that someone bought a round for the house and the bartender just ignored me and didn 't offer the free drink everyone else was getting to me. I have always left a quite decent tip because I used to be a bartender and know how important tips are.The people who frequent the place are friendly and working class, down to earth folks but the main bartender lady and her boyfriend,the male bartender was extremely rude to me. I was just looking for a decent bar to have a drink and eat a burger but other than the burger being tasty I recommend you avoid this sleezy dirty joint. Every Friday and Saturday night they have karaoke done by a nice enough guy who has no idea how to properly work a PA system without blowing your eardrums out. He also likes to sing one out of every few songs and I must point out that he is completely tone deaf so he essentially just shouts the lyrics to the song. I will say that I have met a few very nice cool patrons there. It is the staff that I find to be rude and inattentive to an unacceptable degree. I will not be giving them my business any time soon unless something seriously changes.

Cool place to shoot pool. Played a game with an old school pool shark. He taught me a few things

Ordered delivery, the order was WRONG! I ordered nachos loaded and the first ingredient is chili, it came WITHOUT chili. I called and spoke to the bartender, girl in the kitchen and the manager . None of them knew what to do.. the girl in the kitchen said she was training and didn 't know chili came on the nachos (she should have at least read the menue before she was on the line without someone checking her work. The manager was rude when I told him how displeased I was he said it was no sweat off his back and to be honest, that 's how little local places go out of business. When the staff doesn 't care about quality, patrons stop spending money and then the places flop. I will not spend another penny with them. If the manager had not been a j I would have at least given the place another chance before posting a review but since I won 't go there or order from there again, this is the impression they left... good job smh
