We have been here twice in the last month or so, and won't be returning. Although the drinks are good, and the atmosphere nice, the service is deplorable. *Both times upon entering we were immediately struck with the smell of bleach/chorine, the place smelled like a pool.
Several weeks ago, we (3 couples) stopped in for drinks after dinner around 9PM. It was fairly crowded, and we had to stand for a bit until some seating opened up. Service was slow, but it is craft drinks, so a bit understandable. However, after about 10 minutes of sitting, my wife bussed our table (multiple glasses, receipts, trash). The bartender was snippy and rude. We ordered another round, then left.
Saturday night we returned for drinks after dinner again (8:00PM), this time with 3 other couples (8 people). We arrived first, and while there weren't any seats, it didn't seem as crowded as the last time. However, I over heard one bartender say to the other bartender "I'm not putting up with this shit again", and then proceeded to lock the main door. As our full party had not arrived, we had no choice but to leave. I'm not certian, but I suspect locking the door may be against fire code.
After dealing with rude bartenders, and being locked in because the bartenders don't want to deal with a crowd, we certianly won't be going back. read more
