I've been a loyal customer at this bar for years, but what happened on the evening of 9/4 around 9pm was unlike anything I've experienced before. I sat down, ordered a drink, and then was completely ignored for over 40 minutes by all three bartenders. Meanwhile, both parties seated next to me received multiple refills, beers, and waters. One bartender even took my empty glass from in front of me and continued cleaning the bar without acknowledging me.
