The Potting Shed Bar & Kitchen — Restaurant in Munich

It's a miracle that with waiters like this people keep coming here. A friend made the mistake of choosing this bar, where we've already been once and were mistreated. Since they were rude to us the last time, I decided not to consume to not give them my money.

When the waiter came around and took note of my friends' cocktails, I told him politely I didn't want anything. He looked at me with a strange gesture, and left. Shortly after another friend arrived, and a second waiter came to take note of what she wanted. Since the others had drinks and I didn't, he asked as well if I wanted anything. I politely told him I didn't want anything to drink, and in disbelief he asked me again. I replied the same, and he looked at me like I was crazy and said outloud, "I don't understand." This was already extremely rude, but the worst was yet to come.

A while later, the second waiter comes around to tell us that the kitchen was closing and that we had to order soon. After talking for a few seconds, we decide not to get food, and let him know. Surprisingly, he gets upset, saying that he doesn't understand because before we'd said we'd eat, in a very rude way. Initially my friends thought of having dinner, but apparently they are not allowed to change their mind.

The last drop was when it came to paying. My friends asked for the bill, and the waiter asked the usual questions, if together or separate, if with cash or with a card. A friend replied "separate, and with cash", regarding himself, and the waiter comes right back with his purse. After paying with cash, another friend puts a card out, and the waiter angrily drops the purse in the table and says very rudly, "but you said you'd pay with cash!", to which my friend politely replied that that's what another person said, not him. After all this fuss, he walked for 2 meters and came back with the card machine. Huge effort.

I'm not sure if we got treated this way for being foreigners, but I imagine the opposite situation, waiters like these working in Spain or in Greece, and they wouldn't last more than a week. On top of being treated like dogs everything is overpriced, I rather drink rainwater than...

Very unfriendly service.

[Edit after owner's response]

Thank you for your response to my review. While I respect your perspective, I must address some concerns that arose during our visit to your establishment.

Firstly, I want to assure you that our group always endeavors to be respectful patrons. We did not engage in any disruptive behavior, such as posing on tables or making inappropriate gestures. However, the persistent pressure from the barkeeper to purchase more drinks made us uncomfortable.

Regarding the issue of drink consumption, our group actually had a total of 7 drinks during our visit. However, if there was a minimum spend requirement, it would have been helpful to have been informed of this when we made our reservation.

Furthermore, the implication in your response that our group might have been asked to leave the establishment was concerning. We always aim to enjoy our time responsibly and respectfully.

I must also express that we did not enjoy our stay as much as we had hoped. The atmosphere and the issues mentioned above detracted from our overall experience.

Additionally, the comments made by the barkeeper, such as charging for each photo, were inappropriate and made us feel unwelcome.

Lastly, I want to emphasize that reviews serve as a platform for honest feedback, both positive and negative. Deleting reviews solely for criticism undermines the credibility of the review system. As a business owner, it's important to consider feedback from all customers, even when it's not...

Extremely Rude!! Cocktails with few alcohol in!! We order our cocktails and when we said that we didn’t want to eat waiter looked us like trash. After 30‘ the other employee came with a bad attitude and told us that the kitchen is closing and pushed us to order also food. They had already make us feel uncomfortable. So when we ask to pay the bill separate but with card he was really mad with us and didn’t hide it. Also the cocktails had very little amount of alcohol in them and the price was more or less 12€ each!! In the area there are a lot good places don’t waste your money and time to bad businesses!!

In added to your answer I was in your bar last Tuesday not Saturday. Your answer verifies that it is not a random incident but your regular way to...
