I live in the neighbourhood and was extremely excited to check out the swanky new bar in my area in hopes of finding a new hangout venue besides Amsterdam Brewhouse. We were very disappointed. A few friends and I went to check it out after the gallery opening at the Powerplant and we were greeted w terrible service at the bar.
I had stood at the bar for a good 15-20 minutes patiently waiting for my turn but after watching everyone around me get served along with some newbies who had just stepped up to the counter, I gave up on waiting to place orders for our drinks. My friend decided to give it a shot but after 5 minutes of just being stared blankly past he gave up too.
The bar had turned itself into a spot for an after party but it wasn't ram packed that the bar tender couldn't have kept tabs on whose turn it would be for drinks.
Needless to say we were all thoroughly disappointed. It was a sour start to our night and I would not recommend checking out this spot.
With this kind of service, they will prob continue to lose customers to Amsterdam Brewhouse.
