gin gin — Restaurant in Christchurch

Spent $65 dollars on a ticket. To join in celebration with friends. On arrival I was met with very hostile staff. I was told beforehand tables could not be reserved and when I got there several tables were reserved. Ask owner he could not comment and told me to sit where he usher me too a seat. I left for a hour and was told my seat be here when I get back. Only to be met by the owner who was once again rude. My seat had gone and he said I should not have left. I went to sit down but was told that was reserved. Later found it was for his partner. He then threw a small bowl of chips on the table between 5ppl. That was all we got all night. When it was stated roaming food throughout the night. On top of all this the bar was opened to the public who hadn't paid for any tickets and made it impossible to get to the bar for a drink. The bar also closed up stairs early and the one bar downstairs closed 5mins after midnight.

If your looking for a rude obnoxious owner, rude staff, unfriendly atmosphere and over priced drinks gin gin is the...

Arrived to be met with nothing. I had to make the first interaction to be met with a cold glare from the leading service person. It felt like the server had never greeted anyone before. She exclaimed “take a seat anywhere”, as we proceeded upstairs she said “NO NOT THERE”. Which was fine, but strange she didn’t provide that detail that at the start. After ordering all seemed to be fine apart from no smiles, judging looks coming our way, something we have never come across in the service based industry. We went to pay after our drinks as we could not stand spending another minute in this establishment. We had to stand smiling at the waitresses for a very, very long time as they made conversations between themselves paying no mind to us. Seriously considered leaving without paying, but did not want to stoop to their level of rudeness. Overall, would never recommend this place to anyone. Go somewhere else that serves Gin which is almost everywhere. Highly recommend Wilko’s just 2 doors down! Highly professional and extremely friendly...
