The Hawk — Restaurant in Cleveland

I’ve been coming here for years and never had an issue until tonight (January 1st). I came with my 8 friends and I began to order the first round of drinks. I gave my credit card to open a tab. As I ordered the drinks and they become ready I passed them to my friends. As I order the fifth drink (remember it’s me and my 8 friends) the bartender tells me I’ve ordered too many drinks, he can’t stand here and serve only me, and that he has to leave to go service other customers.

I have been going to the hawk for 34 years when it was the tomahawk on and off. I have always been treated well.

SADAND DISAPPOINTED 😞 I will make sure I peek in before...
