| - Yuck.
Where do I start?
Came in here on Saturday for a friend's birthday for pool & drinks. We didn't eat here because I did read a bunch of terrible reviews on food but figured that they couldn't really get pool & drinks wrong. But boy was I wrong.
The night started off okay enough. We got there around 9pm (my friends got there a bit earlier and was able to grab a pool table). They wouldn't let her make reservations for a pool table unless she got bottle service. This place must be confused. The name says "Restaurant and Bar" but they are trying to be a club or lounge.
The quality of the pool tables were terrible. The felt was extremely dirty, it hadn't ever been cleaned before. The balls were also very dirty. There was a layer of dirt on them, they didn't have the shine they are supposed to have. If you're going to charge $18/hour for pool, the very LEAST you can do is clean the damn thing once in a while. What's the point in spending thousands of dollars on pool tables if you're not even going to maintain them?
The music got super loud at 10pm, and the environment turned club-like. The bar area turned into a dance floor and the DJ played some old music that was mediocre at best. What should have been a night lounging and chatting with friends, turned into a screaming match over the loud music. I couldn't even hear myself think.
Then my friend told me her brother couldn't get in because he was wearing runners. I'm not sure why they picked on him, most of the guys in our group were wearing runners and I saw a bunch of girls next to us wearing actual running shoes, as if they just came from the gym.
A waitress came by and started tabs for us. She seemed really friendly, but the worst had yet to come. At the end of the night, a lot of people from our group had already settled their tabs and left for the night. When my friend went to settle her tab, they kept insisting that one of the couples in our group didn't settle their tab and tried to make her pay for it.
That was when my other friend told us the last time she came here, they tried to do the exact same thing to her! They tried to make them pay for their friends "unsettled tab". Nice try.
One quick tip if you really MUST go here. Double check your bill. They charged us gratuities on the bill without even informing us.
Now I didn't try the food here, but based on what we experienced, I won't be coming back here.
