| - I've written a review before on this location, and it was very positive. Frankly, today's isn't. I decided to take tomorrow off, which for me at least, means I enjoy my night BEFORE more than the actual day off. Short story, I got home from work, showered, and decided to go for a couple of beers on the ;patio at this location and bring dinner home. It's HOT, and it was refreshing to be in the open air and enjoyed my beer. When the young lady approached me, or to put it another way, initiated contact with me while I was on the bar stool and she was the bartender, I told her I'll have a "couple of beers and something to go". She brought me my beer and went away. That was it. It was NOT busy, relatively speaking form experience having worked in the restaurant and bar industry in New York years ago. I'm NOT kidding. She ignored me, I finished my beer, fiddled, looked around, fiddled some more, played on my phone, fiddled, played and well, you get it. I gave up on the thought of a second beer and totally gave up on the notion of a bucket of wings when I finally caught her eye only to have her give me the "index finger hold on" while hustling to take care of someone who had just sauntered up to the bar. Never mind me who's been here forty five minutes. Long story short, when she FINALLY looked my way, I said I just want to settle up and get out of here. She nodded and ignored me five more minutes. Finally, having no change, and knowing I owed seven dollars and two cents for the draft beer (YES, REALLY) I turned to the nice Harley guys next to me, explained my plight in a few seconds and the one guy said "yea, the service sucks here" and gave me change so I could pay and leave. I called the manager on the way home, something I very rarely do, and talked to a guy named Mike, who was cool, but what could he do? I don't want anything. No free stuff. I just wanted him to know he and his business missed out on another fifty or so dollars because he has either inattentive people working the bar or inept ones. I left hungry, and frankly pissed off. Mike tried to make it better, to his credit, but I wasn't interested at that point. Bottom line; when you run a business, have people who are capable of providing for the customer, not some eighteen or twenty year old kid trying to keep up. I won't be back.
