I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience last night was disappointing.
I went into the restroom and was in there for maybe three minutes. While I was using it, someone started pounding on the door with their fist and demanding that I hurry up. When I came out, she sarcastically said, "Thank you," and immediately went into the restroom herself.
I didn't realize until I returned to my friends that she was actually the bartender. She never apologized, wouldn't make eye contact the rest of the evening, and simply went back behind the bar as if nothing had happened.
I understand that employees need to use the restroom too, but pounding on the door and speaking to a customer that way is completely unprofessional. A simple, "I'm so sorry to rush you, but I really need to use the restroom," would have been understandable. Instead, I was treated with disrespect over what was literally a short bathroom visit.
Unfortunately, that interaction left a much stronger impression than anything else about our visit.
I won't be going back to this bar again, nor will my friends. If they treat their patrons this way, it's not a place where I want to spend my money. read more
