I had to wave him down after waiting for 30 minutes. The man yelled at me and said he won't serve us and posted us to the manager if we had more to say. The manager was no help. He blamed it all on saying that I should not have ever waived at a bartender as it is rude. What was I supposed to do after waiting thirty minutes, start dancing or something. Don't go there if you don't fit in the crowd. Definitely stay away if you look middle eastern. They don't like us there

Rude bartenders that really don't care about customer service. I'm sorry but I won't come back to…read morethis bar after experiencing rude and disrespectful bartender. Drinks taste like they water it down. Don't leave your drink on the bar if you not completely done with it. One of the bartenders ( short male with pony tail and a little bread ) took my drink when I wasn't done with it and tossed it. One of the ladies I don't even know stood up and told the bartender why you took her drink if she wasn't done. He then proceeded to say "there was nothing in her f**king drink". Just totally rude like I came for the band not for the rude service. He then proceeded to make a joke by making me a tiny drink with sprite and blue syrup and put a shot glass in it and said here your drink. Like sir I spend my money here and for you take me as a joke is not right. The other bartender that wear glasses replace my drink " thank you" but wouldn't give me the rude guy name because I was going to report him to the manager. Then the guy with the glasses saw me writing a review on my phone then started being rude telling his friend next to me " why is she sitting here if I'm going to write a bad review" and started to laugh. First why are you all in my phone. I came to support the band that is why I'm sitting here. SMH I wasn't going to write anything about glasses until he started talking about me. I just hope something change out of this because you can see by the reviews that the bartenders just doesn't care about the customers. Pro the band was amazing even tho you couldn't see them. It was like a wood door covering them while they played. I honestly just came to support the band.

Went here to celebrate my friends birthday weekend. This place is much better compared to other…read morebars and clubs I have been to. The space is smaller, but I had a lot of fun. The bartenders are quick with their service as well as kind, and the outdoor area is very nice. Many men would try to talk to us, but most were respectful and respected boundaries. I highly recommend their vodka crans and lemon drop shots! (I've heard bad things about the owner, but my personal experience was fine).

When my friends and I, 4 in total, arrived. We were the only 4 in the establishment.  We walked in to find 3 of the staff just sitting at the far of the bar hanging out. They told us to sit wherever we wanted. A bit later, we were provided menus, just under the 9:00pm happy hour. We ordered a bunch of martinis. Most were served in an okay time-frame. Personally, I think 15 minutes is a bit long for serving us 2 short of what we ordered. The final 2 were served 25-minutes later and nobody had serviced our table in the meantime. Upon receiving the last 2, we were told we'd be charged with the happy hour prices, which we later found we were not. We also ordered sushi to go. We ordered 2 types. The order was given incorrectly but we didn't feel like sending it back and waiting another 30-40 minutes for someone to actually visit our table. With only 10 people in the building at this point, 6 of who were getting drinks only, it really shouldn't have been that complicated to get 2 sushi rolls put incorrectly for the order. The place seemed dingy and while the sushi ended up being great, I'm not sure any of us would be back.

That's whatever in my opinion. Their service is what's absolutely diabolical. Talked to a bartender who gave us the green light to go upstairs, there were chairs by a gate and we sat there. We were causing absolutely no trouble, just vibing with our birthday girl. This bartender comes up and begins screaming at us and I don't mean "hey get out of here." I mean exercising his vocal cords and screaming like we were 50 feet away. We calmly told him we can go, there must have been a miscommunication because HE TOLD US we can come upstairs and his power trip was definitely not over because he proceeds to stomp over to my friend and rip the drink out of his hand and puts his hands on him. Look. I don't want to bring race into this... but in this political environment it feels necessary. The only person this bartender targeted was our black friend. The only drink he threw was our black friend and the only person he was putting his hands on was my black friend. He was continuously putting his hands on him as well, while we were calmly exiting and walking down the stairs he was SHOVING him as if we weren't already moving. This man has STRONG anger issues and should not be working there if he can't handle the calmest customers. It got to a point our friend has to tell him, "if you put your hands on me one more time I will defend myself" there shouldn't have even been a first time!!!

I had multiple stamps from previous bars saying that I was underage. He gave me no explanation or reason.
