Cork Street Whiskey Bar — Restaurant in Belize City

My friends came from Michigan and I brought them here because of its close proximity to their departing station. It was an utter disappointment and as a Belize native, I was left very uneasy about what transpired. We were first greeted with a condescending attitude by the bartender asking and teasing us about our age. This behavior continued until we left and were paying when the waitress also behaved this way and gave me my receipts the way you would a dog (“ha ha”In creole.

Overall an amazing bar and great place for some small bites to accompany...
