| - Came here twice - once after a horrible breakup and once for an after-work drink and dinner. Both times, same experience - terrible.
Reeling from the horrible breakup, I told the bartender that all I wanted was some strong whiskey. I got a glass of something (I don't know if the bartender even told me what it was), and while the drink itself hit the spot, nothing else in the place did. The price was neither great nor awful, the bartender was not attentive (barely checked back on us and the bar was NOT crowded at all), and my friend and I left feeling "Eh." Post-breakup drinks are supposed to make you feel better. This place made me feel worse.
A few months later, we decided to try again. The same friend and I grabbed some beers and sandwiches after work, and our experience was more of the same. We waited forever to get our beers and had to ask for food menus, as they were never offered. Once we ordered our food, it again took FOREVER for it to be delivered. What was supposed to be a quick bite turned into a nearly hour-and-a-half long visit - and we were sitting at the bar, which, again, was not crowded. We were frequently forgotten by the bartender, and the food was only average. I think I got a chicken sandwich? I don't even remember, that's how good it was.
I would not recommend Wonder Bar. The service is awful, the food is subpar, and you can get similar, if not the same drinks, anywhere on East 4th in a much friendlier atmosphere.
