Im going to get back to this tomorrow. I'm pissed but thankful that God had control when I was presented with an 84 dollar tab! I will be posting the details. The food was not great. Terrace Gardens in Clairton PA puts this place to shame. I got robbed. This was my first nite out in Ohio. Arrive at the bar around 9:15 order 2 bud lights and shortly after ask for a menu to order food. We are informed by the owner who is the only person working that we can only order appetizers. We order french fries w bacon and cheese and a sampler platter that cost $9. We ask to order shots. My friend order Jack Daniels on ice and before I can say what I want the owner returns and pours us each a shot of that. I dont complain, I drink that. Next time we order lemons drops. There were at least 2 times we sat our empty beer bottles up to indicate we wanted two more beers and the owner would come running w more lemon drops. Not a big deal, we would then order our beers as well. All in all we had the food, maybe 10 bud lites and 10 shots between the two of us. She gives last call at 12:50am. I forgot to mention, she ask me in the beginning if i just wanted to run a tab so I said yes and gave her my credit card. I'm 48 yrs old and have done this many times in the past w/ no issues. NOw I will only use cash. I ask to close out my tab and my bill is $84 DOLLARS! I have gone out and Paid for two meals and drinks and shots for for two people in establishments much nicer than this place and usually my bill would be no more than about 45 or 50 dollars. I ask her about my bill, at which time she proceeds to loudly announce all of my purchases so the 8 people who are still in the bar can begin to add their drunken remarks. In my 20s and 30s i tended bar quite a bit and as I recall when a customer ordered a shot, unless they indicated a specific brand of alcohol or most times I would ask, they were served well alcohol. I just never took it upon myself to serve them top shelf. I dont even think thats what she did give us any way but told me thats what she does. Just serves up that top shelf at $4.50 a shot and i guess she didn't feel the need to tell us that. A guy who i believe to be a regular was taking video of the whole situation on his phone, which didn't bother me b/c I was calm and polite even when she was trying to bait me into an argument. I paid the RIDICULOUS bill and took the higher road and tipped her $10. The people around us were trying to be intimidating and I knew it was just best to pay, show some class and even tip.I think from the looks of that place she needs the money. It is nothing like the pictures on the website. No working draft beers, a margarita machine that looked like it hadn't been used in years. No beverage napkins served with our drinks and none anywhere in the caddies on the bar. Had to ask for napkins when we got our food which was average at best.. I am going to tell everyone and anyone who will listen about my experience in that dump. Sadly that was my first Ohio experience. On a good note that place does not set the bar to high to find somewhere better. I got robbed. I have seen Karma and man, this lady has some bad Karma coming. I feel better for getting this out and hopefully keeping some other unsuspecting person from encountering this place. God Bless.
