My co-driver and I were up in Canada. It was his first time in the country, and my first time in Quebec. Being the nerd I am, I decided to check out the local bar scene and explore the area. Out of all the bars we visited, this place was the rudest! The bartender would ignore our requests, and when he did finally acknowledge us, he spoke down to us. It took forever to get drinks because he seemed only concerned with the local patrons.
The bar wasn’t crowded, so I’m not sure what the issue was. And before you think we might have been loud or disrespectful, it was actually the opposite. Normally, we’d blend in with the crowd. But on this day, this particular bartender seemed to have a chip on his shoulder for some reason.

Read moreSo this is tricky. Apart from the girl behind the bar , anyone else is useless in there . From the guy behind the bar to the busboy I honestly do not know how they work there. Busboy grabs drinks when are not finished yet ( ok, even if I have half a finger left I think I am entitled to finish it, no ?) and the barman is a lunatic serving wrong drinks and when you talk to him , he is on another planet. There is no food, so their only job is to serve a drink, decently. Not capable of doing so and further more...not paying attention to what is left in your drink , bottle or cocktail.
