I came here one night and the bar was almost completely empty, except with one male customer flirting with this female bartender there. The bartender was extremely rude -- snobby and arrogant. I asked for a cocktail preferably made with any bourbon and she told me that it is not possible. She expressed her "knowledge" to me that I could only order straight up bourbon shots, and that there is no such thing as bourbon mixed cocktails. Then I decided to ask for their menu and ended up ordering a Manhattan from there. The bartender had no idea what this drink calls for -- she had to read the ingredients on the menu and asked the manager there. (Btw, the Manhattan has bourbon in it... and it's a mixed cocktail. I wonder if the bartender ever realized she's an idiot while making this drink. lulz.... ). Unfortunately, this was not the only rude thing that happened that night, she also tried to verbally embarrass me infront of the other people there as if I am the ignorant one (oh, the irony...). Well, I bit my tongue the whole time and instead just ordered a Manhattan to shame her silently like a ninja with class. And yes, I did order the Manhattan on purpose in spite of (and enlightenment for her ignorance). =D The bartender could lose her snotty attitude and ignorance and try learning about "mixology." I hope that the bartender was just a temporary one and not one of the regular ones that they usually have there. It was near the holidays so it was possible that they found someone to fill in for them that night. I'll have to say this is one of the dumbest people/situations I've experienced so far while here in Midland/Permian Basin...
* Note, never tell anyone you cannot mix a liquor with anything else and that it is "impossible." That's just rubbish. Mixology is a thing, amirite? read more
