| - I've been here twice. The first visit was positive since it was a major event night that attracted a large crowd of enthusiastic people. I ordered deep fried mushrooms, which were decent but a little burnt and a tad expensive. There was a lingering smell of gamer odor in the air, but any unpleasantness was offset by the friendly female staff and some of the strangers I gamed with.
My second visit erased every positive feeling I had about Endgame. I organized a night with a group to visit the venue and planned on snacking and playing some games. My night there was cut short by the overt rudeness of the bald, preening host with the stud earrings. As we entered, we were greeted by his unwelcoming scowl. He was already directing a scornful look at another person in the lobby, which I should've taken as a warning sign. A quick look around and I also realized the place was awfully empty and a little dirty on the floor and tables, and that this might be what it's usually like here on a typical, non-event night.
Wristbands are a requirement if you're consuming alcohol or staying after 10, but I would be leaving at 9:30, and I don't drink for personal reasons. When asked, I told him I wouldn't be drinking, but he ignored my words and shifted his scowl towards me. Long story short, he was incredibly rude about the situation, treated me as if I was a preteen with a fake I.D., and ignored every word I said just so that he could continue his incivility. You let a little 5 year old girl into the bar area. Did you give her a hard time as well and also make comments to other patrons on her skirt? I go to quickly seat myself only to find out from my company that he continued on to badmouth me once I was out of earshot. Professionalism at its finest.
Later on, when I go to step outside for a moment, he's glaring at me. That's enough for this gal. I'm not going to spend the whole night with a seething host breathing down my neck. I left and ate elsewhere on Mill.
TLDR I organized a group together to game and eat grub at Endgame, but after my recent experience with the rude, unfriendly host, that'll never be happening again. I might be willing to forgive meh food or atmosphere, but discourteous staff is where I draw the line.
