| - Frankie's Tiki Room USED TO BE one of my favorite places to grab a drink... until last night.
The short story:
For no apparent reason, the husky bartender and a skinnier tattooed barback killed the music and shouted "last call!" to trick my group into thinking they were closing (even though it's a 24 hour bar).
Reading this, you might wonder if my friends and I were causing trouble, being loud, or not tipping... in actuality, we paid for 9 drinks, acted right, and we know how to tip.
After a large private party left around 3AM, we were the only group in the bar.
The caucasian tattooed barback walks up to our table and says "did I hear you were heading out? I'm heading to a Crazy Horse Too as soon as I clean up your table!"
I have no idea why the bartender and barback killed the music, and made us feel so unwelcome last night (Saturday night, 5/17/2014).
Maybe they wanted to get rid of customers so they could sit around for a while.
Maybe they didn't like our plaid shirts, or that we didn't have any females in the group.
I won't be going back. Which is unfortunate. I have always received great service from other bartenders, and their drinks were incredible! I'll miss you Frankie's.
I wish your tattooed barback and deceitful bartender would have given us some clue as to why they wanted us out.
