Came out to catch up with a friend, this is an old favorite local spot that is perfect for catching up on a weeknight. Had a great time until the end. My friend’s card needs activating, not the bartenders fault. When politely asked to swipe the card again my impression of the bartenders reaction was immediate condescension and aggression. He insisted the machine was perfect several times without complying. a simple second swipe and confirmation would have sufficed. I was so put off by the immediate attitude from the fellow in a dress shirt and fedora (closer 11/12/19) I said nothing but decided it wasn’t an acceptable tone. I allowed him to process on my card and did not tip, this escalated the staff member who commented on it in front of me and threw both my card and my friends card at us.

I don't know how they're holding events, or why, if they're so inconsiderate like that. The manager is the rudest most inconsiderate guy there. There's no ventilation. Covid safety aside, it smells in there. Like, bad.
Don't give...
