BF & I went as an initial dinner/meeting place for a friend's birthday. The décor seemed ok...kind of cute log cabin, fish on the wall, kind of vibe. We sat at the end of the maybe 15 people we were joining. I wanted a water sooooo bad. We waited. And waited. Finally a waitress who everyone later named "Lisa Turtle" (y'know...from Saved By The Bell?) came over.
BF asked what stouts they had.
Lisa Turtle looked confused and said "Do you mean draught beers?"
BF: "Sure...what stouts do you have on draught?"
LT: "Do you mean like a kind of lager?"
I stepped in and said, "You know...like Guinness? Guinness is a stout. Do you have any other beers like that?
LT (looking relieved to understand-ish): Ohhhh...yeah...Guinness and Newcastle.
I explained to my bf that Newcastle is not a stout...it's a brown ale.
BF: What else do you have like that?
LT offered Kiltlifter, Coors Light, Miller Light, and finally PBR.
I laughed as he ordered a Blue Moon.
I ordered a water (which I wanted more than beer at that point) and a Guinness. When drinks came, no water. She brought it later and all was well.
Paying the tab was a little rough too, but LT finally got it done.
In the end, I wasn't impressed. Between the server and the douchy customers filling The Lodge, I don't believe I'll go back if I can help it.
