As a frequent customer to Bodega, I have had a lot of fun nights here. Great atmosphere, drinks, music, and food. Yet, the service I’ve received from Jacob with the man bun has been the worst service I’ve had in my entire life. I was out last weekend for my friends birthday and I told him that it was her birthday, assuming he would proceed to let her spin the bike wheel. His response was, “Do you even know my name? Can you order from me if you don’t know my name?” He continued to disrespectfully talk to me, but the rest of his statement was inaudible. I asked a man standing next to me if he heard what Jacob had said and he states, “I didn’t hear him but it didn’t sound nice at all”. It’s not only embarrassing, rude, and condescending of Jacob to be talking to me like that, but embarrassing for Bodega. Having a bartender talk to a customer like that in front of other customers is unacceptable. I then had to go talk to another bartender to let my friend spin the bike wheel. Another night, I walked in with my two friends and we sat right down at the bar. We were all deciding what drinks to get and hadn’t said a word to Jacob. He then says, “I’m not the bartender you want so I don’t think you can order from me.” I was in shock since I hadn’t even looked at him when I walked in. Later in the night, 20 minutes before bar close, my friends and I wanted to get one more drink. Jacob then says, “No, I want you guys to leave”. In conclusion, this is unacceptable and I hope Jacob can be held accountable for this unacceptable behavior. Harold is the only one that truly puts a smile on my face when I come to Bodega, and the only reason I keep...
Read moreStopped in on Christmas Day about noon... was there a couple hours, the place just got busier as the day went on. I've been meaning to stop in since I moved my mom to the area a few years ago. I got the vibe the Bodega is an Institution! I love the old tap handles, coasters and world money that adorn numerous places! Elizabeth took great care of us...offering beer samples and making a delicious Old Fashioned! We didn't dine on the $15 holiday meal as this was a stop as our dinner cooked @ home. I liked that the tap lists are on overhead TV's and broke out by lists, such as Christmas beers. There was a good selection; the local breweries, several WI breweries and just good breweries from around the US and a few high ABV imports. The stool seating are regular height bar stools, so easy to hop on to and padded, thanks. The place never got annoyingly loud as it got busier, thanks! I love the whole wall of floor to ceiling windows! Street parking was easy and w a convenient 2 hour limit. Now that I've finally made it in I will definitely be in when I come to town. Thanks Bodega and Elizabeth for a fantastic inaugural...
