Buckhead Saloon — Restaurant in Atlanta

This is actually a place that I've been going to for almost 2 years. I show up there in business casual attire and I'm stopped at the door. This if the first time I'm ever stopped at the door of this establishment. The gentleman at the door isn't the usual door decoration thats usually checking IDs and he mentions to me that I can't come in because my "pants are too low.". I'm flabberghasted because this is the same pair of denim that I wear in a professional business environment. Regardless, I attempt to be diplomatic about this and express to him, "well, I have a belt on. Can I simply just pull my pants up?" At that point, he says "no". It became apparent to me that this had nothing to do with my pants since he simply expressed that I apparently didn't adhere to a dress code that has never had a problem with how I comport myself. But when I offer to adjust the way I'm dressed so that I can get in, his response to refuse my willingness to change how I present myself felt nothing short of racist and also shocking. I dress rather well, I don't wear any sort of urban clothing or designer brand sneakers. I dress myself in a such a way that I can go from a business office to a bar and I maintain a simple style using basic colors. For someone to use the "dress code" excuse to bar me and then back pedal on that when I blindside them with acquiescence is ignorant, unfortunate, and simply bad business. Instead of simply complaining, I will take the initiative to make sure that people know, to make sure I never come back, and to make sure that I steer any social circle that I'm with in the opposite direction of a business establishment that will allow such imbeciles to represent their business and their brand at the door. 2 years of patronage is gone and I will make sure that the same occurs with anyone that I am in the company of when I visit the...

Chad, I hear you're one of the owner's of this place. I'm extremely disappointed in the service my friends and I received from your so called Manager Mike and our server Elizabeth A. The food came out fast and was pretty good. However I only ate half of my Baja Burger and fries. My appetite was ruined. 35 minuted into our meal we hadn't received drinks. My friend went to the bar and informed Elizabeth that she forgot to take our drink order. 10 minutes after that I went to the other bar and asked another female server who is the manager? She stated she didn't know who the manager was (which I find absurd). I asked her who would know? She then pointed to a guy at the end of the bar. I asked him who is the manager he stated Mike. I then said where would I find Mike? He said he's outside. I then go outside and go to Security and ask where is Mike the manager? They point Mike out. I walk to him he was so cold and unconcerned when I explained of the poor service my friends and I received. He partially listened and when I finished speaking he never apologized for the way we felt. He said where are you sitting with an attitude as if I was bothering him. He said I'll send her over to you. I went back inside with my friends and told them let's go and we're never coming back here again. Chad I don't expect any better from your staff, I've looked through the reviews and your response is only an apology and the problems haven't been fixed. After another 5 minutes our drinks arrive. My friends ordered me sweet tea. To add insult to my situation my tea was unsweet. This was the worst food...

Had a very bad experience with an extremely rude bar tender last night working at the bar in the tent space that they had set up for winter. There was only one other group of people at the bar while we were there. I was trying to get my friends a round of drinks, and she blatantly ignored me at the bar and asked my friend what he wanted to drink, continued to ignore me when I kept saying I was getting his drink as well as everyone else’s. She finally acknowledged me only to realize my friend was to be included in the round of drinks (she had him pay before even acknowledging my existence). Asked for a blue moon during the encounter for my one friend who had never been to this bar before (they’re from out of town), and she was ignorant yet again in the way in which she responded to me about not having that selection. I was a waitress and a bartender for 6 years, I am probably one of the most respectful, and understanding people when it comes to the restaurant and bar biz, but this girl made me feel like I needed to give this place a negative review. There is no reason to be petty and ignorant to other women... especially one that had you not been an ignorant individual would have tipped you 5x the norm because I’ve lived that life. Instead she got a standard tip, which honestly looking back I’m disgusted I even gave that as were my friends. We left after one round, and unless I’m ungodly wasted, I’ll ...
