The only reason I am giving this new bar 1 star is the beer. You CANNOT and SHOULD NOT charge $18 dollars for a beer (tall boy or not) when your sister bar next door sells the same beer for $6..... WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!?!?!?. Maybe you assume that your patrons cannot do basic math and don't realize that you're charging 100% more per ounce than your bar next door. I'll break it down for you.. at Blue Collar next door you charge $6 for a 12 ounce can of Salty Crew which is .50c/ounce. Cold shoulder bar charges $18 for a 19.2 ounce can of Salty Crew which is .938c/ounce. Which might I add is $3.49 at every liquor store in the city.
Your beer is more expensive that a tall boy at the Dodgers or the US Open which even the players complained about!
Your cocktails are great but when you’re with someone who doesn’t drink hard liquor, we almost walked out and will unfortunately never be returning.
But congratulations on having the single most expensive and highest marked up can of beer in all of LA and outside or La Guardia airport (which was sued and sanctioned for price gouging) the most expensive can of beer I have ever seen...
Read moreI went to this bar for the first time with 5 other people and there was only 1 bartender working. We were told do wait at our table after ordering and we did so. All my friends got their drinks 30 minutes later and I still didn’t get my drink. I told the bartender that they forgot about my drink and he said the bartender was just making my drink. I waited another 15 minutes at the bar and the bartender made 4 other drinks while I was waiting for my drink. At that point, I asked for a refund and the server told me that I have to wait for his manager for my refund with an attitude. I waited another 6 minutes for the manager and she asked for my credit card and passed me my refunded bill without any apology. I wanted to explain her the situation that I was being a good customer waiting on the other side of the bar because I was told so and ended up with this terrible customer service and didn’t even receive an apology. At the same time bartender finally made my drink but they did not even offer it to me complimentary. I had to leave the bar immediately and this is the worst customer service experience I have ever seen in...
Read moreMe and my friends have been coming to blue collar for some time now. Today we noticed a speakeasy opened next to it (accessible from inside of blue collar). Decor and music is great. Very vibrant. A good change from blue collar. We were very thrilled and excited. We all ordered espresso martini's (a go to drink for me). have had good ones and bad ones in my time but this one I must say is absolutely terrible. I love espresso martinis, but this has got to be the worst one I have ever had in my life. The martini part alone (once you dig your lips through a thick and atrocious layer of "cream" or whatever they want to call it) was poorly balanced and just confused me. Then this very thick layer of "stuff" did not complement the drink in any way. Yes I powered through drinking this but this drink was so bad and unsatisfying. I would not recommend to anyone I know. Not even my worst enemy. 0/10 in the nicest Keith Lee voice. Btw* We love blue collar and this should not reflect blue collar in any way. This is towards the new speakeasy within blue collar. Blue collar has always made...
