| - This past Saturday my friends and I were excited to celebrate our best friends 30th birthday and chose Miss Things as the venue to host the party.
Guests started to arrive around 9:30pm and I was excited to buy the birthday girl her first shot of the night. Since she doesn't really drink hard alcohol, we walked up to the bar tender and tried to order 3 porn star shots (her favourite drink!.) After ordering, the bar tender responded with an immediate "no".
We starred at him blankly and were obviously confused by his abrupt refusal as he did not continue with an explanation. When I asked "why not?" he said "we don't serve sweet shots". I've never heard of that, but if that is the case, fine. But there is no reason to be that rude- To customers or anyone.
We tried to ignore it since we were there to celebrate a special occasion and told him it's my friends birthday - pointing to the birthday girl. He starred blankly at us for a while not even suggesting another drink, finally after asking what else he can recommend, he said "I can put pineapple juice in a vodka shot." We ordered 3 of those. His overall demeanour was disinterested and downright rude.
In the meantime, the birthday girls younger brother joined us at the bar and started reading the names of the drinks on the menu. We were laughing and joking at the tiki themed drinks... all which looked pretty SWEET by the way... just saying.
Just as the birthday girls brother decided on one of the drinks to buy for his sister the bartender looked at him and yelled "you are wasted there is no way I'm serving you a drink, you're done!". He did not ask how much he had to drink (although the answer would have been 1 beer) instead, he thought it was appropriate to point him out of our group, the only guy with 5 other girls and refused to serve him for no reason whatsoever without even having a conversation with him first.
The birthday girl was shocked (as was myself and her brother, the innocent bystander) and became defensive of her brother. We explained to him that he was definitely not "wasted," not even drunk as he hadn't even had more than 1 drink at that point. Our friend calmly tried to explain to the bar tender that he was with her all night and had not been drinking but her brother, the victim in this, honestly explained that he had a beer with dinner - which was 100% true.
The bartender turned to my friend, pointed right in her face and actually SHOUTED "you are a liar!" He began to belittle our group of friends and tried to get the birthday girls brother kicked out of the bar for absolutely nothing as soon as we got there! The whole thing ended with him trying to tell us none of us could be sereved(?!) when we were the first of 25 people to arrive for the birthday celebration. We were all shocked and appalled!
The birthday girl was in tears and left immediately with her brother who felt completely victimized for no reason. I have to say out of my 30 years I have NEVER encountered such a rude, ill-mannered, discourteous bar tender, in my entire life! By 10:oopm ish our party had left Miss Things before the rest of the invited guests had even arrived. Our whole night was ruined as it was too late to find another venue to host 20+ people who would have happily purchased food and drinks all night as planned.
Though I shouldn't even have to defend myself here, we are not a rowdy, obnoxious bunch of people. We are young professionals who were excited to celebrate a very special occasion, and were really hurt at the way we were all treated by this man.
We all felt horrible for the birthday girl and sadly her 30th birthday was ruined because of a bar tender on a power-trip. The birthday girl did not even receive a call or email the next day and as of today there has still been no contact or apology from the management team of this venue who seemed eager to help plan this party with her.
Our friend, who helped organize the party, sent an email to management outlining the above, and has yet to receive a response.
It goes without saying that no one in our party or even friends of their friends will ever step foot in this place ever again and we warn any one reading this review who may consider planning an event there to re consider or consider yourself warned. Worst service I have ever experienced in my life.
