| - On a much needed girls-night-out, my friend and I huddles into 806 on a Saturday night after finding Treehouse was too packed. As soon as we walked in, it felt like we stepped out of 2012 and into a genuine speakeasy and were very pleased with this. However, it only took a few minutes for that happy, cozy, swanky energy to go terribly terribly wrong.
For one, there was no clear drawn style between the bartenders. One was dressed in a sophisticated black button up, the other was dressed like a dive bar beer slinger, and the last was a hipster chick. No disrespect to any of these styles as they all looked nice, its just that none of it fit what was going on with the rest of the bar. There was no flow whatsoever. So you don't really know what you're supposed to be expecting from this place. That might seem unimportant but it just left me confused, and it was the first shift in what became a weird weird vibe.
The menu itself looks very badly put together and cheap and on my menu, there was no white wine list and when I had to get up from my table and order from the bar (bad!), the menu at the bar was put together completely different which made finding my selection harder and holding up the people behind me.
We ordered two dirty martini's from the bartender and they asked us what kind of vodka we wanted. I said Smirnoff because it was advertised as only 8$ for a Smirnoff martini and that was the only question about my drink. Taking it back to my table, my friend and I had to literally choke them down as they tasted so rancid. It took over our conversations because of just how much we could not believe how bad they were. We couldn't even finish them! So we go and get our check (which was in a timely manner) and see that not only did they charge me for Ciroc which was an upcharge of 3.00,, they charged us an extra 2.00 for getting our martini's UP when they never asked us if we wanted them up! Bringing our what was supposed to be 8$ martini's to 13$! We were upset but just wanted to get the heck out of there as soon as possible. What had started as a swanky, 20's feel energy complete with old jazz music, had changed to a very odd mix of crowd and pounding club music, complete with unfriendly staff and crappy drinks.
SAVE your money, SAVE your time for a bar that actually know who they are!
