| - Maybe it's because it has only been open a week, but the Uptown ABC didn't seem ready for customers quite yet. We went over earlyish on a Saturday night and the place was about a third full and stayed that way until we left. The TVs were not working the entire night.
We sat at a table. Over the course of the night, we had about three different waitresses, which was great - I wasn't expecting table service for a group just ordering beers. The first two waitresses we had seemed unaware that the other one was serving us. Neither of them asked us how we were going to be paying, and when the third clocked in, she had to figure everything out.
Almost everything we tried to order on the extensive beer list was out. One of my friends tried to order about four different beers before she finally ordered one that they actually had - and then she didn't even like it. After striking out a few times myself, I just stuck to what was on tap, which isn't what I came to a bar like ABC to do.
We didn't get a price list, and at the end of the night all beers cost $5, regardless of what it was. Since I was drinking what was on draft, that price made sense to me, but I'm sure that if somebody ends up paying $5 for a can of Genny that there will be some complaints later on. Our receipts did not have a price breakdown of what was charged per a drink.
Don't sit near the kitchen. Every time food is ready, they hit a gong, which is obnoxious and startles you when you're trying to have a conversation or enjoy your beverage.
Overall, I'll come back - I LOVE the Ohio City ABC. I just think this place needs to be a little more customer-ready and have a few more weeks to find its feet.
