Under NO circumstances should you go here. Came for a few drinks and realized it was under a different ownership and different bartenders....We ordered a long island iced tea and a couple of beers, which I ordered and I presumed to be Murphy's Stout. However, the beer coming the Murphy's Stout tap was actually Guinness!
I should've known because we have been here before and the bartender said that they kind of cheat and put Guinness in the Murphy's labeled tap because not many people drink it. I should have asked but it's really shady doing so.
After we ordered a Long Island Iced Tea, . I tasted it.. NASTY! I had watched the pour. Since I've drank Long Island teas for years.I know what is in it. When I saw one pour of well vodka and a majority of coke and seltzer , I became suspicious. I took a sip and yuck!
I went to the head bartender (no manager on a Friday night, of course?) she said she was working there for many years. I asked her to make a new drink or refund She told me the drink was fine because she had made it! What? The other bartender corrected her. I asked why she said she had made the drink and she said she was confused. The bar was not busy so why lie?
She took a glass and literally threw ice cubes in it. She took threw in a two shots which was not required shots of the drink, She filled more than half to 2/3 the glass with Coca Cola. I confronted her., She said, "this is German, we make drinks the way we like!" She continued, "we serve the lowest clientele and do they don't care." How does one respond to that? It was an expensive drink!
She started arguing with me, repeatedly stating "which had more alcohol" and insisted I compare both drinks. Who cares? I wanted a properly mixed Long Island Tea. Darn.
I told her I had watched the pour of the Long Island tea and what was in the drink; she said "well? we pre-mix everything. It is watered down but we are not a high class Irish Bar".
It was not a good excuse . The drink she gave us was extremely substandard. And she charged me double for the drink because I returned the original drink, plus the other drink.. She said this is Germany. not America, so we do it as we please.
When I asked her the recipe, she didn't know . She said it was pre mixed. So Disclose it. She said I don't care. I'm upset and I don't give a sh@$.
We asked for a refund. The bartender said "we make it the way we like. If you don't like it. Too bad. What do you expect? It's not America!" No kidding!
She said, "This is a low class Irish bar for students who want to get dunk. Watered down or not, they love to drink" . When I asked her why do you serve watered drinks and fake beer,. she said, "just want to make money." . I will never return to this place. I urge no one else to go to this place. Trust me. You'll get screwed. When I told them I would post on yelp, she said " who cares , yelp means nothing". read more
