The wait on food was way too long, the quality is not up to par. I watched one of the cooks (a lady with black hair) ask customers to buy her drinks. The new girl is very rude, and has no idea what she is doing. Her and the kitchen staff are always outside smoking weed, they smell of it, and I have on occassion seen this myself. One time i went outside for a smoke and the girl came running out thinking that I was leaving without paying my bill, she let me know that when someone walks out they are made pay for it.

It is unknown whether or not Playback Pub will jack of their prices on drinks and food like many pubs have already done, so let's hope they keep the...
Read moreThis place is good for the free pool and cheap drinks but after being there for an hour it reminded me of that bar recovery show. The bartender is playing on her phone and not even watching the bar, the bartender put on 10 songs in a row of hardcore hamster rap I can see 1 or 2 but after about the fifth song people started leaving for obvious reasons after her 10 songs someone else had some lined up after their second song she shouted I f*ing hate this music and turned it down she even skipped a couple of their songs there was a lot more but I think u get the point the staff are not there to serve you or make sure you have a good time they are their to hang out and get paid for it I would NOT...
