Stopped by last night for some NYE drinking. My first time. Drinking happens on NYE, right? Hanny's bartenders, did you not know this? You all snapped at folks like PMSing women (and you were all dudes). Just so freaking angry! I find it hard to believe that the crowd was too overwhelming, because it looked like a regular weekend bar scene in there. And customers weren't even being drunken dicks!
I witnessed service atrocities I've never before seen in my bar/clubbing history. The bartenders were SUPER RUDE to nearly everyone ordering drinks. One would cut customers off before they finished ordering and walk away. Another rather violently snatched a lady's ID from her hands. God knows who they were serving, because we all had to wait so long to order. They just seemed to move frantically without really accomplishing much.
Everyone around was complaining about the bad service. I saw some even take back the tips they were going to give. Lot's of WTFs and SMHs went on. I actually stepped out and headed to the City Center for the countdown, just so I wouldn't spend my first moments of 2012 around such negativity.
I'm bummed because I really wanted to try their Absinthe. Maybe on a quieter night down the road. Maybe.
