Read below the line of this post & you'll see my prior post. I am a regular, or was a regular now!
I never come in on Monday's, I usually come in on Friday or Saturday. This is the first time I ever met Bale. I normally get served by Sarah & Jenn (who are the best & I like dearly).
This night, Sarah served my first beer. When Sarah went on break my beer was empty and I set my glass on the edge of the bar so the bartender knows I am ready for another. Keep in mind, I am by myself at the end of the bar. I see her look at my glass and walk away at least two times to serve others at the other end of the bar. The third time I wave her down and she doesn't even give me a "I'm sorry I will be right with you" (recognition of some sort). So I do something I never done before and that is poor my own beer. Now, I got her attention! After explaining to her why I did what I did (the fact that she was deliberately ignoring me), Sarah comes back from her break, and I explain what happened. Sarah knows me and was very nice about her reasons of having to kick me out. It is illegal to pour your own beer, now I admit, I was not thinking about that at the time, yet I am glad that happened just to prove a point. It took me doing something like that to get Bale's attention, what does that say about a person like that.
In conclusion, I was told I can come back another night, but because of my action Sarah had to ask me to leave, I want to note that Sarah has always given me great service. However, because of one person, Bale, I will not be coming back to this bar. I have more class than that, to let someone treat me like I am nothing, when I am a consistent customer. The sad thing about Bale, it is people like her that leave me hopeless in seeing this local economy thrive again. I moved back to this neighborhood to support this area, yet people like her have made me decide to move back close to my job in downtown Phoenix Everyone has to understand, I grew up in this area. If you're a native like me, you'll understand, if not, you probably will not care. The bottom line is thanks to the internet consumers like me have a voice. Bale has got to go!

Love this place.
Great dive bar, the bar tenders are really nice, they have the tall boy beers I like & mini pitchers for a good price.
I was impressed how much a crowd this place can draw in.
