Door guys are rude and snotty. Stopped in to see if there would be any live music anytime soon and after a brief conversation I immediately heard them talking trash about my fiancée and I once we turned around. Experiences at a bar start with the door guy. Just another uppity college bar.
Edit: (please read owners comment & staff members review below) The door guy to the left, did make a comment to his coworker as we left. From your costumers perspective the full story is that we were only out to get a slice of pizza at cottage inn, If you remember we had pizza in our hand. My fiancée noticed the place was open again and wanted to stop in to ask about music because we heard the owner was trying to welcome the local music scene. I simply followed her in and did not say anything to either of you guys. So no , I was not scolding anyone out front and I did not speak to any other of your guests inside or outside the establishment. I certainly did not tell anyone they should be ashamed of themselves. I was just walking to get a slice of pizza. We were happy the owner got everything going so quickly. As we were walking back from cottage inn, slices in hand, my fiance walked in and I came in a second after and she was already talking to the door man on the left asking about music very nicely. My fiancé must have forgotten to say thank you for answering her questions because We thought the interaction was very normal until as we were reaching the door the door guy was sarcastically speaking loudly to us saying "thank you" repeatedly, and then turned to talk about us to the other door guy. I found that to be extremely rude. Your door guy must be confused about which interaction to talk to you about because it's clear he doesn't remember who I am. We don't know anyone from Iowa. We have never even met someone from Iowa. Whoever you talked to does not know either of us. I do not have a friend that was there for her first visit to Ohio and/or moving to a lake. So all of that information is false. my reaction to the new bar must've been misunderstood as I was only impressed and pointing it out to my fiancé because I actually think that it is a quality improvement and was happy to see another bar. Saying "wow, that'll really help them on game days, I'm glad they were able to get that done so quickly. I never spoke to your doorman about the new bar. Just to my fiancé. I did not have anything bad to say about the bars improvements, that is a misunderstanding. We met at that bar, and I just wanted to let the owner know the experience I had with his door guys. I'm sure if someone treated him and his wife that way, he would be upset too. As my fiancée was only curious and kind, and the door guys made a point to say something as we were reaching the door. The door guy sitting to the left is the one who was saying things. Also it's fine if college students is your target...
Read moreExcellent grand opening at Threes yesterday! Was glad to see so many people of different backgrounds and ages having such a great time last night.
To retort Danny's negative review - as one of the two "rude and snotty" guys manning the door when you visited - I recall our interactions quite differently. You entered with your fiancée and did not speak with us beyond the typical 'walking-into-a-bar' small talk. I did have pleasant, brief conversation with your friend, who was kind to us. About ten minutes later, you approached us asking about live music, to which we responded that we had live music earlier in the evening and would again be having live music later throughout the week. The live music schedule is somewhat tentative since we just opened. You spoke with the other doorman briefly regarding your displeasure with how much bigger we made the bar area, and proceeded to leave. Regardless of how impossible it would have been for you to hear us from outside the building with music playing, the only comment he or I made to each other regarding you or your fiancée was how pleasant your friend from Iowa was. In general, we are too busy actually working to care to gossip about people who are dissatisfied.
Several minutes later, after passing the building on a separate occasion, you scolded some random person that was simply sitting down outside the bar having a cigarette that he should be ashamed of himself. As hilarious as this was to us, this obviously made no sense to him, and we were more than happy to welcome him into the bar following your misguided remark.
Separately, I hope your friend enjoys her first visit to Ohio and that she has a safe and pleasant move from Lake Okoboji. It may surprise you that the "rude and snotty" folks at Threes care enough to greet and get to know their clientele. Clearly, however, you don't know Threes.
Overall, looking forward to many great nights working or relaxing at...
Read moreLove this place. Very open layout and a great atmosphere. The live music at night is something that's hard to find around campus, and they don't charge a cover fee! What!?! That was awesome. The beer is ice cold and cheap and they have specials nearly every day. Was recommended by a friend to ask for a tidal wave shot. It's the most refreshing shot I've ever had, 10/10 would also recommend. The staff there are extremely friendly. Had one of the most engaging conversations with the bouncers that was understandably cut short because of the sea of people that rushed in. Definitely my favorite bar, they'll definitely be seeing...
