Went in to grab beers and some apps, the bartender came over and greeted us and we ordered beers and waters. We asked about the happy hour specials that were named "small bites." Our bartender said that she was pretty sure they were shots and not food. One, why didn't she know exactly what they were, and second, Huh? Since when are small bites shots? LOL ok. We got our beers and mine needed a lime to go with it. I asked if they had some and was told yes, but they weren't cut yet. I had to wait about 10 mins before I could drink mine due to waiting on cut limes. (It was about 6pm, there were only about 4 other customers in the bar, so it wasn't like they were slammed or anything.). We were waiting to hear from a friend to have dinner somewhere else but were hungry so we decided to go out on a limb and try an appetizer, given that what we saw and experienced was already a little worrisome. When we asked our bartender if they had fried pickles, she said I'm not sure, let me go ask. She literally had to ask if there were fried pickles to order. She came back and said yes, she could order them for us. We get our fried pickles, and I asked for another beer. I also asked for some extra ranch dressing to go with our pickles at the same time. So she goes to ring in my beer, and rings in the ranch for the chef as well so she can pick it up from the window. She brings back our ranch, and my beer is still visibly empty, but instead of going to get my beer, she goes to sit down at a high top and starts eating a container full of food. We try our pickles and they were so salty, we felt like we were going to melt away like a snail from all the saltiness! We finally have enough of this depressing environment, because she never returned to our table, so we had to go to the bar (from our high top we sat at) and ask the other person that was in the bar for our tab. We get the tab and my beer I never received was included and we had to ask for it to be taken off. We were also charged .50 extra for ranch! But not before the other bartender person verified that we never received the last beer from our bartender, but she had the audacity to ask if we still wanted it 30 minutes later. I hate writing bad reviews, because I want so bad to be able to give praises to deserving places so that others can benefit from mine, but this experience was just way too bad to not notate. I hope this was the exception rather than the rule, but sadly, I'm pretty sure it isn't. I don't live nearby anymore, so i probably won't be going there ever again, but it used to be a cool spot when I did and nostalgic when I've gone back, since moving away. But I think I'm cured of that now lol.
