If this review had a title it would be: "How to lose a regular ..."
My worst experience came when I had to pay in coin to cover my bill rather than break the $100 bill that I had. I so rarely have a $100 bill on me that I thought they wouldn't take it. Anyways, I counted the coin three times and gave it to the bartender on staff. He confirmed the amount and accepted it.
The next day, the same bartender puts me on "cash and carry" (i.e., buy every beer individually). Me. A 3 - 4 day a week regular who is known by just about all staff. I could understand if I paid in pennies or even had any pennies in there but at worst there was $5 in quarters or dimes. I could also understand if they were busy the other day but they weren't.
This may sound petty but I believe it is the principle of the matter. If they treat their regulars like this, how do they treat new customers? Businesses thrive on regulars and people making referrals about them. They should be doing what they can to get your business and your referrals and not giving you reasons to go elsewhere.
In the end, the joke was on him because by the next day I had broken the $100 and for every beer he sold me on "cash and carry" I paid him with a fresh $20.
Since this experience I started to think about better places to go and soon found many more. I also organize many meetings or social events and this no longer is on my list. I did try to go back a couple more times, mainly at the invite of others, and the last time I got violently ill off their chicken wings. And I mean violently ill - like a "3AM prayer to God that I don't die on the toilet" type of violently ill.
Oh, and don't expect to get a clean glass either or expect a pleasant response when you ask for a new one. I have had to ask nearly a half dozen times as a regular to have a new glass because of lipstick still left on the one I was drinking from.
