Unfriendly staff AND locals.... I'll start off by saying this is my first ever yelp review- never have I been so inclined to write one here on yelp. After a weekend of hiking/camping in the Catskills and driving through Hunter on our way home my husband and I decided to stop for a hot meal. The food was typical bar food but it "hit the spot" nonetheless. However, a day later, I am STILL bothered by our experience there. Our waitress was so incredibly rude and un-welcoming that be both looked at each other in confusion as soon as we walked though the door. She never looked at us once while speaking, let alone could she crack a half-ass smile. We both agreed that she seemed very skittish, almost as if she was on drugs. Due to the lack of kind staff, we chose to sit outside. Come to find out, the locals around us were just as openly rude not only to us, but to every person that walked by under the age of 30. Throughout the entirety of our meal, we were forced to listen to negative and nasty comments about a group of camp counselors sitting outside of the Asian restaurant right next door. Both the locals AND staff at Ronnie MacGregors Pub made comments about how "disrespectful those kids are" (they were adults) and how it was because "they were not from this country." One of the locals even told the group that they had to move and eat somewhere else- they were bothering absolutely no one, were not being noisy, and were sitting at a completely different restaurant! The group of people did not move (as their right) and we were forced to listen to this repetitive complaining until neither of us could stand it anymore- we weren't even able to keep a conversation with all of these troubling insults- so my husband asked them if they could tone it down so we could try to enjoy our meal. Disclaimer: we are quiet people, we said nothing for about thirty minutes and never have had we had to ask someone to pipe down during a meal. The response we got was so nasty that we immediately regretted saying anything.. there is no getting through to people like this. A woman raised her voice, told us that we were now the ones bothering her and called us "one of them" (whatever that means). Needless to say, our experience was horrible. Never did I think I would encounter behavior such as this from 40+ year old adults. Made us want to go straight back into the woods! We did end of getting one, singular, fake smile from the waitress - as we were leaving! Note to the staff at Ronnie MacGregors Pub: If a group of people having a good time at the restaurant next door seriously irks you to the point of being blatantly rude, you need to get a real problem. Secondly, don't like tourists? Don't open a bar in a town that is full of them. read more
