Brittlestar Wine Bar and Coffee House — Restaurant in Lancaster

To be called a liar for complimentary drinks and then charged £11.50 for them and be totally humiliated and called a liar, then come here. Called in with my wife, no barrier or sign, barmaid said first drink complimentary so asked for 2 Proseccos thought what a good business.
