| - At first I read the reviews for this bar and I thought 'jeez these people are probably just taking personal issues up with the bar and can't be reflective overall' and I have to say, I was so wrong.
First, my boyfriend was DJing for an event that was being held there, so we had wristbands that gave us free drinks the whole night. So we went to get our drinks, and I don't really drink alcohol so I asked for a plain coke, and I was outright refused. Literally told I could not have a drink unless it was full of alcohol. You may think I'm making this up... But here are some more details.
The events was a door fee open bar event, where one fee bought you all you can drink the whole night. Now it makes no sense that I would be given such horrible service as tips from good service is the only was the bartenders would make money themselves but also serving soda actually saves the venue money.
So we had our event manager speak to the staff and they said the owner told the bartenders explicitly not to serve soda. To verify independently we asked other staff, and they all said the same thing.
Eventually we got to talk to the on duty manager and complained. The rule was not rescinded at all. Kind of astonishing . They instead gave me and my boyfriend 10 pieces of paper with the managers name on it "Jon", saying I could redeem them for a soda. Out of everyone we had ten drinks that could be non alcoholic.
I can't comment on music as the DJs weren't residents, and I am biased.
In conclusion, I'm confused as to why an event that brings in more people than you club regularly experiences on a Saturday night (confirmed by locals) receive such treatment, almost ensuring that the event will not book the club again.
Truly tragic. Avoid it. I have 8 free sodas if anyone else wants to try their luck.
