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

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.

I really enjoyed my chicken gyro mostly because I couldn't detect dill in the cucumber sauce that it came with, and I really dislike dill which is often in tzatziki sauce.

Stowaway is a great little townie secret.

To start, they serve food LATE, which many bars don't do in the area. And the food is always fresh and consistent! Their stowaway fries consist of either fresh cut or steak fries covered in garlic butter and Parmesan and served on a decent sized pan. They are addictive! Obviously not the healthiest option, but they will keep you coming back for more! Their burgers use good quality ground beef and are large enough to satisfy even the most voracious of appetites. The bartenders are all very nice and love good conversation. Drinks are all reasonably priced, and the pours are fair. Overall it is a great little spot with a very homey feel. Would recommend.

After the disappointment that was Dancing Beta in Kent -- I didn't think decent sushi could be found in the area -- but you did it! I had some great rolls (I can't remember their names and their website isn't updated yet, but I'm pretty sure I had a shrimp crumble, spicy tuna, a tiger, and some other animal name). Plus accompanied with the same great wine and martini service. Proud of you 157, I'm still not sure how the sushi bar will mesh with the late night crowd -- but it was delicious and I am glad I came by to try!
