| - We had a coupon for a free appetizer and since it's across the street from our neighborhood we wanted to try it out. The live music, happy hour, and location all made it sound appealing.
When we got there we were told to sit anywhere and them approached by a man who introduced himself as "not your waiter." He took our water orders. When our waiter came we asked about the beers for the $3.50 happy hour premium draft. We asked for Guinness. Sorry, discontinued. My friend asked for another off the menu. Sorry, discontinued. We asked what WAS available. He listed some and we choose the milk stout.
We also ordered three pizzas: 2 of the margherita one and the hot wing one. The margherita one was tasty: good sauce, cheese. The crust was soggy and oily. The hot wing one was gross. Not spicy, extremely bland, and so soggy from sauce it was essentially soup.
As we were finishing, a fight broke out at the pool table between 4 extremely drunk women. This was not the fault of Tonic (although not serving drunk people flaming shots might have been nice). The way the situation was handled was.
There were no other people in the bar except my table. Calling the place dead is an understatement for a Saturday night. The women fighting were not removed, even after they started throwing punches. It wasn't until one drunk women who was allowed to stay came to our table and started screaming. THEN they removed her and half-apologized. We asked for our tab.
The waiter brought our tab for $82. Nothing was rang at happy hour prices. We complained and he agreed to fix the pizzas but insisted the beer (at $6) was not part of the happy hour special. He said he had to get a manager to help him.
While three people tried to fix our bill, the manager came and accused us of being involved. A bit shocked, we explained what happened. He apologized and offered a dessert or shot if we stayed. I explained we just wanted our bill corrected. He walked away without responding.
Our tab came back for $65 while the screaming drunk woman stood at the entrance.
Horribly managed, extremely expensive, trashy decor, poor service, bad food. The worst bar/restaurant I've ever been to. Oh - and they refused to accept the free appetizer coupon.
