| - Worst service ever (and I do write all kinds of reviews, not just bad ones).
I ordered my regular cocktail at the bar- a bloody mary. After literally four minutes, I got my drink and couldn't even detect vodka in the drink (the bar was empty- guessing she had to look up how to make the drink??).
After inquiring to the bartender about a weak yet really really tomatoey spicey drink (completely undrinkable), she said she was instructed to make it that way (one literal measured single shot of vodka in a 24oz tumbler..talk about tomato overload! Most bloody's are at least 25% booze),
She told us we'd have to buy a shot to make the drink stronger. So we did, but the single shot (literally one ounce-- no more, as measured as the cocktail was) of rail vodka was more expensive than the horrible cocktail. It didn't make a dent to this tomato explosion.
After speaking again with the bartender (a horribly snotty highschool girl) about obviously having different expectations for a cocktail, and asked if maybe we could just have a beer instead. She shook her head, shrugged and said sorry, then walked away. Furious, we paid with a waitress and left to go call a manger since he "wasn't available" when we were in the building. After ten minutes on hold, we called back. Another five minutes on hold. The third call back (over an hour) we finally got a hold of him.
After lots of discussion, he finally refunded our $20 after much convincing that no matter how many free appetizers he could possibly offer, we would never return.
EDIT: Weird, that credit never ended up on my card. Shocking right??? What a rackett. The inept leading the inept.
The staff at this location makes the bar AWFUL. Along with being overpriced, I will never visit any other Hickory Tavern location.
Tons of awesome bars around the area, with way nicer bartenders with slightly caring management. Jerks.
