| - So I was part of a bachelorette party in early April, in which the bride wanted to go to Firehouse Lounge. Our party bus dropped us off in front and drove away- then we realized that Firehouse was closed for a private event until later that evening....so while someone called the driver to come back, the majority of our party went into Embury to get a drink in the meantime.
Now I understand what the vibe is here, and I understand that the drinks are often complex and somewhat time consuming to mix. I also get it that we were "That Bachelorette Party" of 20 chicks, including my friend's older, rowdy, Yinzer Aunts.
However, the guy bartending was so incredibly rude, it was unreal. I've been in the service industry for over 12 years and I've never seen anything to this caliber. His tone was condescending, the smirk on his face was ridiculous, and he basically told us that since the drinks are specialty cocktails it would take an exorbitant amount of time so we should just leave. Feeling like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, we did.
He had the capability to make that situation work in his favor- so think of a quick shot, or an easy drink, or even suggest the MILLER LITE that I see is listed on their menu. (oh the irony) He could have easily made a quick $50 on us during the 20 minutes it took the driver to return. Not cool, dude.
