I have no idea how this place EVER got 5 stars. Here is a review that was not written by one of their employees in case you want to know what this place is really like. I went to this bar for the first time on Friday and Ito was by far the worst experience I have ever had at a bar.
First of all, everyone keeps commenting on their "craft" beers, but their selection was nothing special. Most of the beers are things you could find at the grocery store and the names were all pretty familiar. To make it worse, my boyfriend tried to order four different beers and they kept saying they were out. That might not have been so bad if the waitresses hadn't disappeared for 20 minutes each time he tried to order one.
The worst part of the experience was definitely the service. The waitress was a complete bitch. The first time she came to the table she spent about 5 seconds there and gave us no explanation for the confusing menu. After that there was no sight of her for a good 25 minutes despite the fact that the place was not busy. A different waitress eventually came and took our order. The only time the first waitress came back was to be super rude to my friend who politely asked if they had any vegan-friendly drinks. After basically telling my friend she wasn't a true vegan because of what she ordered she she stormed off and didn't come to our table the rest of the night.
When I wanted to get my check I tried to signal her, but she was clearly intentionally ignoring our table. She would go up to the bar and chat with her waitress friends and then chat with the bartender and then she would turn away for our table without even giving us a glance. I had to go up to the bar and tell them no one had visited our table in 30 minutes and we would like our check. I didn't get any sort of apology, but I did get my check and got the hell out of there.
If you want terrible service in a bar that really has noting special to offer then this is the place for you. I, for one, will never be returning to Aces and Ales.
