I came into Lynwood after a long drive late last night after work so I could spend time with my big sister and nephew for the weekend .. I stayed at Embassy suites and of course jumped on YELP to find a place to go grab a drink and pub 44 was 1.6 miles away .. I met 3 of my family members that were in Lynwood at Pub 44 where we played 2 games of pool and a game of darts.
While we were there , we all 4 got a drink each and tipped the bartender about 8 dollars not like that's a lot but hey that's $2 a drink at the end of the night I'd totally take that 🙃. After my long drive I wanted to hear some fun music so I could beat all my grown men cousins at darts (I've been practicing ) 😂💁🏻 . Since I worked late and had to drive a little over a hour from my house to get here, l put just $5 dollars in the machine that plays music and picked two songs by Bruno Mars which is fun upbeat music ! They came and told us after about 15 min that we had 5 mins left to drink our drinks and as we were finishing our game of darts my song finally came on !! I was excited, it gave me some energy to beat these guys !! About 10 seconds into the song it stopped and went to the next song which was my next song by Bruno 24k gold ... about 5 seconds Into that song IT TURNED OFF ALSO 😩😕👎🏼 .. welll , that was my two songs gone in less than 30 seconds .. I was confused like what happened ? I walked up to the bar and the two men (one older and one possibly in his 30s were standing at the machine behind the bar and were saying something along the line of skipping the next song .. I simply stood there and they turned and looked at me so I said "hey guys, so if you guys skip my songs, do you refund the money I used to pay for them ?.
The younger man came and stood right in front of me on his side of the bar of course and in a very loud almost a yell he said "HELL NO" ! I was kind of shocked that he just yelled that at me so I just said "okay" and turned around as the older man said "you guys can't hear it anyways , you guys have to get out, so get out" !! My cousins were walking up towards me when I turned around because the 5 minutes was over and we respect that .. we didn't even finish the darts game but that's alright (I was in 2nd place ) 🙃 As we were walking towards the door I said to one of my cousins "geeez YELP didn't give us a good suggestion today "😳 , mind you they had absolutely no idea what had just happened because I was the only one that walked up to the bar to see about the music .. we got to the door and the lady waitress (she was heavier set with long hair) walked right behind us and YELLED "GET OUT , BYE FELICIA " .
Some may not be aware of the movie that the quote "bye Felicia " comes from . It's called FRIDAY . FELICIA is a young BI-RACIAL FEMALE with braids in her hair ..
I AM A 28 year old BI-RACIAL female with braids in my hair.. I was with my family 2 are African American and one is Mexican in Lynwood Washington ..
My mind was blown by the horrible customer service and lack of any kind of hospitality shown from this bar.
I've worked my same job for almost 8 years , which is a sales and customer service for the most part & I could never treat customers that way !
We came there with respect , spent our well earned money at this place of business . We spent UNDER 1 hour there , wanted to have a drink play a game and hey, why not play a song or two.. usually every Thursday we meet in Tacoma where the bartenders know us at multiple places and treat ALL people with so much love and respect .
It was a terrible experience I left feeling shocked and disturbed .. I treat others how I would like to be treated . It was just the way I was raised to be.. k We are all human living in the same world .
Peace...
Read moreDON'T HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY HERE!! Horibble service from staff and karoke host. Watch for gratuity charge for being a guest invited to a party!
Went to this place for a birthday party and the waitress for our table as she put it, was a joke! She was always outside smoking and on the other side of the bar hanging off of the guys while in her shorts in the midlle of winter, my guess trying to work them for tips instead being "our waiter" or a waiter at that. One waitress though (dont remember her name) was awesome. I'd get up and find her and ask her for something and no waiting at all, tipped her well ( i had to order through the waitresses cause my tab was in their computer not the bars). The karoke host also skipped a few of us numerous times and wouldn't fix the rotation.
Did not catch until the day after, as for paying they tacked on an 18% gratuity charge to some of us that paid with a card without saying anything before. How they do that for someone paying a separate tab and tipping cash is messed up period for attending a party. And i know for a fact that just one of us tipped $100 alone SO THEY WEREN'T GETTING SHAFTED.
I will not be going back to pub 44 for any parties and i know others that will not go now because of this and i doubt even for a...
Read moreFirst time was a blast. Second time not so much. Bartender Caitlyn was beyond rude, she was aggressive and hateful. I had ordered a drink around last call, went to the restroom and when I returned she proceeded to scold me for leaving. I asked what was wrong and stated I didn’t know she wanted me to stay. I also told her my husband had just passed away and I was in the bathroom crying and also had bad tummy. She was heartless and mean. At this point I could care less about the drink. Just wanted to know why she so angry with me. I asked her name. She told me and yelled the managers name and spelled it out. After all this I was waiting outside for my ride freezing and she proceeded to serve 2 girls at bar drinks. Also I told another employee what had happened and asked why she was so angry and he stated that she wasn’t the aggressor and that I was demanding my drink. Literally appalling and I’m completely disgusted with the heartless behavior. Besides the cruelty. I think the bar has a nice atmosphere and drinks were ok. FYI if you order from Caitlyn..stay and watch her make it or you might get your head chopped...
