| - Sprecher seems to be one huge hit or miss. I've been here 3 times and have sat in the bar for all of them. The first time the bartender serving us was awesome: attentive, quick service, friendly. It was a great experience. The 2nd time we came for trivia and the service was good but not great. The 3rd time (last night) we came again for trivia and they did not have their sh*t together. Granted it was busier than I've ever seen it but that's no excuse. We had 4 different people come to our table for taking orders, none of whom had communicated with each other because they all asked if we had placed a drink order, placed a food order, needed something, etc. we also had two additional people in our party coming later, and were sitting at a table that wouldn't accommodate them. When we initially walked in, the hostess said we could just pull up chairs, which we actually had done before on a previous visit. Then we told one of our waiters that we would need to pull up chairs later on, and he told us it would be a fire hazard and we couldn't, but that he would figure something out. Well, 30 minutes later when they arrived, we had a different waiter and nothing figured out to accommodate the newbies. We stood around for about 5 minutes trying to flag down someone and no one would make eye contact!! Finally we went to grab our own chairs, and as soon as we made a move a guy came over and asked if we needed something. We said chairs and he went and grabbed them for us.
Service was ok during trivia and after we got our food (I've never had a problem with their food, it's always been good), but our waiter was weird when we were paying. We were literally the last ones in the bar area and sat there for probably 10 minutes before he came over to let us pay. Most of us had cards, but one person had cash and when he got to that person last to pay he just stood there starring at him even though his money was out and on the table. He didn't say anything. It was strange.
