The Bulldog Mack — Restaurant in Amsterdam

A BIG LIE!

Go there if you want to be robbed. An authentic scheeme. From the moment we arrived until the end. Bad service, rude waiter. At the end we ordered our bill and the guy just appeared with the machine for the payment saying the total. We asked for a receipt and he sold us a bunch of lies, that he couldn’t have the receipt, it was already in the system, impossible to print, etc we were a group of 4 and we wanted to share the bill he told us that we needed to look at the menu and make the count ourselves. We did that. That’s when we noticed there was an exact amount of 5€ charged extra. We told him this and he tried to sell us his big scheme deal. He told us that the beer we ordered was extra 2€ and that the menu was wrong. We told him that we don’t want to pay extra than what we had seen in the menu and that, even with the 2€ extra, we were paying for 5€. At this very moment the guy turned his back on us and said us that he wouldn’t do anything and that it is as it is. We tried to explain him that he was wrong, we tried to speak with another colleague, with a supervisor, and everything was denied. At the end he even threatened us, saying to my fried that inside the place there were a lot of hidden spots where he could beat him. In the end is a big disappointment and it is frustrating that a house with such name as Bulldog has this type of workers and people representing their establishment. I imagine the millionaire salary this guy gets at the end of the month if he’s robbing...

Honestly, I would not recommend this place. Yesterday, I had one of the worst experiences in Holland at The Bulldog Mack (Oudezijds Voorburgwal). A waitress there was absolutely disrespectful and aggressive. From the moment we arrived, she treated us poorly. We asked for some cocktails, and she said no. Then we wanted to order a mixed drink, and she said she could only serve us at the table. Later, she refused to let us pay separately, saying that we could only do that at the bar where we were at first and she said we couldn’t order. There was also an issue with a lady who was asking for a Coke. The waitress refused, saying she could only serve alcohol. This lady was standing behind me, and we were discussing how rude the waitress was. The waitress then came over and grabbed the lady roughly by the arm. I told her not to do that, and she responded by telling me to mind my own business and spoke to me rudely. We started arguing, and she offered to take it outside for a fight! She then called security and had my family and me thrown out unjustly, not even allowing me to finish my expensive drink. It was a crazy situation, and I do not recommend this place at all. They made me cry out of sheer...

SCAMM* Unfortunately for a place with such a big name, where people go to have a pleasant experience, it is impossible, unless you accept being scammed. Long story short, we ordered, we ate and we drank. We asked for the bill and that's when things got out of hand (actually was before because the service is just bad, like you need to ask permission for the people to do their work) the waiter refused to give us the receipt, when we compared the price that he asked for to what we actually consumed there was a difference of 5€ (perhaps the tip for a very poor service who knows) but not with my consent that is for sure, I requested them to call a superior no one in the building did it. I called the police, unfortunately there was nothing they could do about it, and told me I have to settle the things with the personnel which was impossible because they just wouldn't speak to me. In the end I left the building basically to avoid a fight that I just thought was worthless to take. I WOULD SUGGEST TO TAKE SOME ACTION IN ORDER TO PERSERVE THE GOOD NAME OF THE ESTABLISHMENT, AND A POSSIBLE SAD OUTCOME THAT A SITUATION LIKE THIS ONE MAY...
