| - Came here for the first time this past Friday around 3:15pm to meet a friend for happy hour. Have always wanted to try it since it's within walking distance of my house and it has so many good reviews online. When I walked in there were 2 employees 'working'. One who glanced up at me while playing cards with a table of customers and the other guy behind the bar playing on his phone. The employee who made eye contact didn't even say hello. He looked directly back down at his cards. I said hi to him and got nothing in return. What a jerk. I was meeting a friend and I was early, but neither employee greeted me or asked if I wanted anything, etc. They both couldn't care less that a customer just walked in the door. I sat at a table since the tiny bar area was mostly full and I just kept looking at both of them for at least 15 minutes while twiddling my thumbs, and nothing. Neither one of them did anything in the way of work the entire time. They flat out did not care. I already knew I'd never return or recommend, and would have left after 5 minutes if I wasn't meeting someone else here. It's great that so many people like it here, but a little bit of professionalism / basic people skills / customer service skills / friendliness, etc. goes a long way, and neither of these 2 gentlemen possess these traits, that or they are not required by the owner? When my friend arrived some room opened at the bar so we went there. I had already told her I'd been sitting there for 15 minutes and would normally already be done with my first drink (I never wait for friends to arrive to start ordering) Anyhow we went to the bar and the bartender barely muttered a 'hey guys' to us. I ordered one beer, and knew that I would probably love to have a lot more, but there was no way I was giving this place more than $5. I got the feeling that they are already way too comfortable in the way they 'run things' here, and for a first time customer, it's very off-putting. If the bar area is completely full, which is not hard to do, since this place is so small, I honestly have no idea how you are supposed to get service here. I can't tell you how easy it would have been for me to give this place a 5 star rating, even though they have no food and no parking. Bummer.
