As someone who grew up in Rosedale, I've been to Rebel House more than 10 times. I recently had such a bad experience I felt compelled to sign up for Yelp.
I was was hosting two of my American business associates from New York City and decided to drop by to grab a couple beers this past Friday around 8pm. It wasn't very busy so we we're quite excited as I quite enjoy the laid back atmosphere.
The server was quite rude to us right from the get go, and she seemed like she just didn't want to deal with another group of customers. When she came back to take our order she let us know that she could not serve us alcohol, because the Americans did not have Canadian IDs, and wanted us to leave.
I appreciate part of her job is curbing under age drinking, but we were 25, 25, and 28 respectively and every single person had government issued ID. It felt as though I was in a farce.
As a Canadian, I was honestly embarrassed at her complete lack of hospitality and poor customer service skills. I will not go back there so long as she works there.
