| - from its name, "BRGR bar" sounds like a bar/lounge that sells specialty burgers. from the way BRGR treats its customers, it's a snobby expensive restaurant that turns away paying customers for no good reason.
first time i went there, i came with a group of 7 people for dinner and drinks. we waited for about 30 or 45 minutes patiently waiting for our table (as other smaller groups got sat). then we saw 2 tables open up right next to each other and we asked if they could put them together. they said NO, but couldn't give us a good reason why (they actually said they just couldn't move the tables). there was no one behind us in line. the only tables that could accomodate us were still eating and clearly wouldn't open up for awhile. the two adjacent smaller tables just sat empty for 10-15 minutes when finally, we got fed up and argued with them until they realized they had NO good reason for why they couldn't put the tables together and finally sat us. it seemed like they initially didn't want to do it b/c they are too "good" to move tables around to accomodate patrons.
the last time i went to BRGR, i tried to go there for drinks at around 9:30pm. the restaurant area was mostly empty, 5-6 tables were open downstairs and who knows how many open on the patio. no one was waiting in line. we had a group of 4, but they refused to sit us because we only wanted drinks...they said we could sit at the bar (all the bar stools were taken). i said i "might" get an appetizer, but they still wouldnt sit us. we asked when we could get a table for drinks, they said around 11:30 or 12am. two other larger groups came in at the same time, wanting to just sit and drink, and they wouldn't sit them b/c they weren't ordering food. those groups left. my group left and went down the road to mad mex (funny thing is, i actually ended up ordering food).
anyways, management needs to realize that they are supposed to be the more casual counterpart of Spoon. probably never going back.
for the other stuff:
-waitstaff service is good.
-shakes are good.
-the burgers are ehhhh and overpriced.
