In sum, the worst bar/restaurant service I have ever experienced. I have never felt so disrespected at an establishment. I will never be back.
My friends and I went here for the first time and were pleased with the atmosphere. At the end of the night our waitress gave us our check. Our one friend went to pay the bill, he left a $60 on a $56 dollar bill, and said keep the change, because our other friend was covering the rest of the tip. Our waitress replied "let's be real here you're only giving me 4 dollars on a 60 dollar tip?" He then said that there was more to come but to just take that in the meantime. He turned to tell us what she said and the waitress came back saying "what were you saying about me?"
My friend said "nothing" and then we sat in shock over a waitress complaining and combating someone about their tip.
When she came back, she slammed the change down on the table and said "you have a great 'effing night, you piece of s*". Wow. My friend then went to the manager and explained what had happened. The waitress then got into my friends face and told him to "eff off, you effing piece of s*". He then told the manager again what had been said. Her response "eff you, you piece of s*"
Wow. I am in disbelief. I have never, in my life could imagine someone treating another human being like that. That was, without a doubt, the worst restaurant/bar...

I witnessed a bartender named Bethany literally perform a song and dance routine mocking a customer, to their face, calling them a "See You Next Tuesday." It wasn't an inside joke, just spontaneous anger and rudeness.
The other reviews and I see I'm not the first one to witness rudeness by Bethany, nor the first to see unpredictable closing times -- sometimes 2 or more hours earlier than the listed time. If a place wants to set an early closing time, fair enough. But when it contradicts the hours customers are told -- IN WRITING -- and the employees are cold and rude about it, it's disrespectful. The vibe you get is that the bar is a side hustle to all the employees.
Be careful with your drinks if you sit at the bar. The bartop is some disgusting sheet metal, and completely uneven, so you'll get a lot of spillage. plus they leave dirty glasses lined up in front of the customers and the splashing as they wash...
Read moreThis was my first experience visiting the Flying Pig saloon. It is on a downtown Main Street in the community, it is walkable, and surrounded by a variety of shops, restaurants, and other fascinating institutions. The waitress and bartender we're very attentive, paying close to mind to me when I was in for lunch. The quality of food was very good, pricing is about average for a restaurant, and in that sense I was satisfied with the food, service, and drink I received.
The atmosphere of the bar however this dark, dated, and cavernous. My first impressions as I was the only Patron was that this was the definition of an old man's bar. As more patrons came in I began to realize The Flying Pig has a dedicated local patronage of regulars, everybody seem to know everyone. Well I have no problems with this, and maybe it was the time of day I visited, this didn't strike me as a location we're out of town Travelers and tourists would...
