| - I hate that I'm giving this place only 1 star, b/c I do like this place at times, but a horrible bartender just ruined it for me. I went there recently with a big group of friends. You would think we'd be a bartender's dream come true, b/c we are a pretty chill crowd and totally get how hard the service industry can be.
Well this female bartender was not doing herself any favors by consistently giving us the wrong drinks. My friend had been drinking Corona Light so she ordered another one (I should mention we did have a bartender change - the initial one had his shit together) with this woman. The woman just opens a Corona (regular) and doesn't say anything. So my friend is like, oh I ordered a Corona LIGHT. And then this bartender is like well we don't have Corona LIGHT.
At this point my friend was like I was just drinking a Corona LIGHT, after a heavy sigh the waitress went over and brought my friend a Corona Light. What the heck was that all about?!?!
Ok weird, but we can get over it. The same thing happened to my friend's husband not 15 minutes later!!! Now, we're just questioning her bar-tending skills and it's not like she was apologetic in either instance. There was just a lot of sighing and eye rolling on her part - apparently she never got the memo that bar-tending is about customer service. And even if you feel that way, it's probably not in your best interest to be huffing and puffing and rolling your eyes around like you're having a seizure in front of the customer.
So here's the icing on the cake and which directly effected the star rating for me. I went to close my tab along with 2 of my friends (who also had to close their tabs) and I will admit that I have an intimidating last name, although if you spent time looking at it, you'd realize that it's quite easy if you phonetically pronounce it.
But not the point - I tell her my last name and my friends give her their last name. She brings over 2 of the 3 tabs and is like ok I have one for a "Serena, Last name I can't even pronounce!" and then calls the names of my other friends. Ummm...wouldn't it have been sufficient to say "Serena" - it wasn't like there were 5 "Serena's" waiting to close their tab. And perhaps this was just a minor event, but coupled with the other aspects of the night with her - I just couldn't even take it. She was so horrible as a bartender and just ignorant as a person!
I just hope if I go there again, she won't be the bartender that night! If she is, you can bet that I'll be leaving pronto.
