| - After a long flight, I came in on a hot afternoon to meet a buddy for a quick beer, maybe some food.
Was greeted by the hostess and I asked, for their sake, if I could put my carry-on baggage somewhere, to which she responded "not really". Fine, but she could have put a bit more effort in given it wasn't a lot, and being directly across from Union Station, and being such a huge place they could have found somewhere. She then suggested I could keep it with me, again fine, but pointed to a little dark corner for me to sit in. I declined the offer and sat at the bar.
The main bartender saw me, but she was busy so I was greeted by a manager type. Gave me a water and said he would be right back to take my order. He did not. The bartender finally came around, and decided to first serve the two suits who have came in well after she had noticed me sit down. She eventually asked, "are you doing okay here?" and, given I had nothing in front me, I asked for a beer.
This place clearly only does well because of its location and proximity to the sports venues.
I didn't stay long enough to try the food, so no comment there.
Based on the first impression, I won't be back.
