| - Ordered a drink, and mini corn dogs from a really nice girl bartender, but ended our visit unhappy
We only had time for one drink, and didn't finish our corndogs because we felt extremely uncomfortable. In the middle of our visit a song came on that we liked, and my daughter started to whistle to it. I make fun of her for whistling all the time, and eventually we were trying to whistle to the song together but we're laughing because we couldn't finish one line of the song. Keep in mind we didn't even finish our first drink so we were not drunk at all. We then heard a comment from a bartender who hadn't talked to us since we sat down saying "no one wants to hear you whistle.." I thought she said something like "we like your whistling," but she then said something along the lines of "everyone wants you to stop." We were both a little shocked so we asked for our bill. She made another rude comment and that made me even more upset, because there was no reason for it. We then paid our bill and left, sadly I left a dollar tip because of her rude comments but our bartender was good, in fact we enjoyed the food and the atmosphere until the comments from the blonde bartender started.
I can understand if whistling in a sports bar is annoying, but the way the bartender handled the situation was very catty and unprofessional. If she was to ask us to tone it down, or let us know others were complaining (which we did not get that vibe from any of the men at the bar, in fact they were laughing along with us) we would have gladly stopped.
It felt more like a catty girl moment, and it's disappointing because that was our first time trying out The Bar, and again we enjoyed everything up until the bartender was unprofessional.
Also, it's a sports bar on a Friday night during march madness...If whistling bothers you that much I hate to think what would happen if people start singing along to a song in your bar.
