| - Went there recently. Bar service was slow. Food was excellent. Had the Turkey, Swiss, and Mushroom sandwich and La Palloma Margarita. I live in the area, work in the same industry.
During the course of my visit there, There was a hockey game on (Canucks vs. Predators) Of all the 40 T.V's there, there were only 2 T.V's that had this game on. (Granted hockey isn't big in AZ) 3 mins left in the third period, they changed it to a DBacks game... WHA???
At this point EVERY T.V. had on a basketball, or the diamondbacks game on... I asked why they changed it, and the bartender said, "They are watching it down there." (pointing to a couple opposite end who got there after me.) So, Stanley cup playoffs is less important than a beginning of the season baseball game? HA!
I brought a lot of friends, and some family. I was taking care of the bartenders with great tips all night long, and that was my thanks?
I moved to another bar inside, where there was no bartender, away from my sister, brother in law, room-mate, his girlfriend, my best friend from high school, and some buddies in town to finish this game that now was pushed into overtime. (which i obviously missed.) I expressed my concerns and how I wasn't feeling welcome anymore. No one really cared, except for one bartender Jenna. she was cool about it. Fixed the situation and helped as much as she could.
As I was getting settled in to the bar opposite of everything, the bartender from the other bar that I was at moments prior, came by and handed me my second drink without me even asking for one. I thought, cool, they know they messed up, a free drink? Sure it's not a big deal. After she handed it to me she asked, "Want this on a tab or still pay cash?"
Seriously?
I'll take my family, friends, and our money somewhere else.
And we did.
