Bar Bandini — Restaurant in Los Angeles

The bouncer is unprofessional. The bar does not serve any warm drinks or not a lot of nonalcoholic options for the designated driver. Went on a Sunday night to listen to our friend's band play. I dressed summery but didn't expect to get cold especially on a early night of July. I went to the bar after i drank my first non alcoholic drink to order something warm. Well it turned out that they didn't serve any warm drinks so I thought I'm not going to comlain to my friends that I'm cold so instead I went to the Starbucks down the street so I can order a hot drink and bring it back. When I arrived back the bartender which was not there when I first arrived showed up and aggressively said "you can't take that drink inside". Well number one there was no sign any where and number two where was he when i exited the bar 10 mins ago? Fine. I am not going to argue and I am not going to want to feel uncomfortable by being cold so I told him can i get my friends so we can leave. He said no. He literally told me to leave the drink outside to go get my friends. (Like I'm stupid to leave my drink unattended) then i asked if he can go get them. he said no. Bottom line the bouncer was very unprofessional and rude.

It's very sad because I had not been out for a very long time and I actually felt happy to be at a place where I normally dont go. Since i dont drink I dont like bars but this place...

Unbelievably horrible. We go for my sister's wedding after party (yes sisters after party to HER WEDDING) and when we enter the bartender asks for my ID and for a moment I thought I forgot my wallet and so he had a right to say "sorry can't let you in without an ID" and I said "its my sister's after party to her wedding and im 41" and he then asked me to leave. I did find my wallet at that point and showed him my ID but at that point it was too late and he made us his mind. I pleaded with him to not ruin my sister's after party but he refused service...I told him im a 41 year old professional and I simply couldn't find my ID for a moment and I got momentarily upset but he said sorry you can't come. I then asked for the manager and he told me he's the manager....moments later I find out he's not the manager and he just said that to kick me out. Completely unprofessional and pretty ridiculous for the area...I felt like I was in some lowbrow dtla dive bar the way...

Lovely atmosphere and a nice selection of drinks. Unfortunately have to say that the bartender serving us had a serious attitude, barely greeted us when we arrived despite the fact that the bar was quite quiet at the time and my group and I weren’t impolite. And then as we were leaving I decided to take my empty glass with me to the bar rather than leaving it at the table, so I could hand it to said bartender. Maybe he interpreted in the wrong way but his response was to tell me to “bounce” and immediately was on the aggressive when really I just meant to make it easier for the staff to round up glasses etc. Really hostile interaction that soured the time in the bar, and I tried to make it clear to him that I meant no offense which he wouldn’t listen to. Maybe I caught him on a bad night, or he misunderstood my intention by trying to hand him...
