| - So I came here with pretty high hopes. I'm in town for the week and have heard good things about this bar, how they play really great music, etc, and I love country, so I figured it'd be worth a shot. There are no country bars where I live. So we decided to hit it up. There was a line, which we anticipated, and it moved fairly quickly. When we got in we were asked to pay cover - $14. Okay, cool. Wasn't expecting it to be quite so much considering there was no "well known" dj or band playing, but whatever. Then we had to pay $4 for coat check. Ok. So in total we paid about 20 bucks to get into this bar....... so we're kinda expecting it to be great. The music as soon as we got in didn't disappoint! We obviously wanted a drink, so we went to the bar to get one. This is where it went way the f*ck down hill. We were able to walk right up to the corner where the registers were to get drinks, and I am not kiddin you when I say we waited 15 minutes. We quite literally watched men walk right up to the bar and get them right away. We made eye contact with the bar tenders and they quickly looked away. All 4 bar tenders near us were women ,but all bartenders in general were women at this certain bar. They hugged some of these male customers, clearly regulars or what have you. I was disgusted. I mean, my sister has worked as a bartender and I'm a full time customer service associate. First come, first serve or what have you and I TOTALLY get that it's busy, that it's gonna take a while to get a drink. It's just that we were right at the front of the bar, and witnessed men walk RIGHT up and get a drink RIGHT away. I was just truly sad to see so much sexism in this one establishment. Is it because women don't "generally tipe as well"? Will never return and will never recommend. Very, very disappointed.
