Motel Bar — Restaurant in Toronto

If I could give zero stars I would the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced I’ve never been so disrespected at a bar , the bartender expects you to kiss his ass with tips , I’m not going to tip for every single drink that I order especially since I’m going up to the bar to get my own drink and bringing my empty glasses back , I was going to tip at the end but the bartender didn’t give me a chance and instead choose to completely ignore me, I was refused service after one drink because I didn’t tip on that drink, at least have the balls to tell me to my face why you are refusing service, I don’t know why people like this choose to work in customer service , get a grip it’s the service industry some people tip at the end , bartenders like these are what is wrong with today’s outrageous tipping culture, they don’t even provide table service at this place so you’re basically paying him to do his job in my opinion that barely deserves a tip, get a higher paying job if you...

Loved this bar. Prices were great for drinks, nice old school feel and some vinyl records about.

But the bartender (or owner I believe?) decided to be very rude to me one night and cut me off, I can only guess for ordering two drinks at once?(which I often do at bars where they charge per drink, so I can grab 2 to charge on 1 bill) Never found out if that was why cause when I tried to ask why he was cutting me off, he said to let it go and back off, and got more hostile when I asked "what's going on here, what did I do!?". In my 12 years in the city and many many bars, not one other place has cut me off for ordering two drinks at once, or treated me so rudely. I even brought a bunch of my friends here that same night, I gave this place business and valued it, and yet I felt humiliated and dejected by this experience.

I won't tell people not to go here, as it's a nice bar, but I really hope this owner learns to do better and not treat a customer this way, I haven't been able to...

This place feels like one of the last places you can go in the area that hasn't been overrun with the ever growing West Queen West "club" crowd.

Bartenders make classic cocktails, decent prices, no hipster gimics, no dbags - just a chill place where you can actually go, chill and talk.

They don't serve food but will let you bring in Alexandria Falafel (right next door and delicious!). Bonus there's a lovely man on the piano some Sundays.

My favourite place...
