The Windbreak — Restaurant in Fargo

Bar staff was great, but the bouncers are too aggressive and rude. Had a huge altercation over a free drink I was holding on ladies night while my gf was in the bathroom. Bouncer tried to yank it out of my hand and was extremely rude. when I refused to give it up threatened to kick me out even though I explained it was for my gf in the bathroom. Then said leave or pay 5$. Haha NO. I had already paid extra for actually decent vodka instead of well in the "free" drink. So I held my ground and he went grab his other bouncers he threatened me again. I still wasn't having it and refused because it was a ridiculous altercation. The owner came and it was all resolved with ease since he actually had some sense and wasn't a 5 foot something angry dwarf. After talking to the owner all was well, but the tension was still there since the bouncer fella felt played. Other than that it...

I have gone to the windbreak a total of three times. After each time, I tell myself I never want to go back. Yesterday, I ended up at the Windbreak again for a friend's birthday. We got there right before cover charges were collected at the door and we thought to ourselves, "Great timing." Maybe ten minutes later, an employee came to our table and enforced the cover charge. After clarification from the employee, everyone is charged a cover at a certain time regardless of what time you arrived at the Windbreak. The entire place smells a little musty. It's cash only until a certain hour (11pm I think). After 11, it's a $10 minimum for any card. Since drinks are cheap, $10 forces a purchase of nearly 4 drinks at least. The bands are fun and there are pull tabs and tables. I feel like I'm always being nickel and dimed or forced to spend more money. I hope...

Lol wow. I just walked into the Windbreak after convincing my friend to go there with me when they really didn’t want to. The bartender walks up and says “what’re you drinking” no smile. We’re like hey! How are you how’s your night? I tried to order a spicy Tito’s caesar and the bartender looks me in the eyes and say “I’m not making that for you right now”. As the Clamato is sitting on top of the cooler. I said wait are you serious? And he said yeah. Buddy I volume bartend for a living. Never would I ever talk to or treat a customer like that?? You can stop by my bar some night after work and I will gladly make you whatever drink you want with a full bar and a smile on my face :) you have definitely lost me as a customer. I came over Pourhouse and this bartender gladly made me exactly what I wanted with a smile on his...
