| - I went to Smoky's for a drink with a few friends last night, and it was our first time there (we had heard great things about their martini menu). The atmosphere was great, but the service and drinks were the complete opposite.
I asked the bartender if we could order an appetizer, and he said "we're slammed," and walked away. I thought it was a joke because others at the bar were being served appetizers and it wasn't very busy, but he didn't come back to try to take our order.
Later, other bar goers started getting ice cream drinks that looked fantastic. I asked the other bartender what it was, and her first words were "dear God, please don't order one, I don't want to have to make another one." The two bartenders were both visibly and audibly frustrated to be working there last night, they were complaining to us and other patrons, and it rubbed off on our whole experience. I would not recommend sitting at the bar.
The martinis were also incredibly subpar for being $12 each. Go to Cento or Merchant for a cocktail instead.
