My twin sister, our boyfriends &, brother came to this bar after dinner. The first bartender we had was nice. She had dark hair didn't catch her name. The next bartender was slow & avoided my sister at the bar. A man noticed and flag the blonde one down for my sister after she had skipped her several times in rotation. She then asked for all of our IDs again. (We are all 30 and up and already have a tab open at this point and showed our IDs...) My brother showed up and went for a round the bartender again tried to get the whole group to give ID's prior to serving us. My brother (whom is a bartender currently) speaks up and says "um no, we already have two tabs open and they've shown IDs more than once." If the bartenders can't communicate with each other or recall who they've ID'd and have open tabs with. Perhaps, having a bouncer at the front door would help better their service. Doesn't help that we were the only black people other than 1 other dude in the bar so it was not like we weren't recognizable either. I don't usually complain about bars but, it was very annoying sending one for a round and then having to grab my ID out every time. until my brother checked them. All 3 of my siblings have been or are bartenders. (It was enough to not want...
   Read moreHorrible business. One bartender said “don’t care, bye bye” after we voiced concerns about miscommunication by their staff about a cover charge. The owner called my friend “rude” after she politely but frustratedly explained how there was a miscommunication. The staff told us we didn’t have to pay a cover since we arrived an hour before the cover charge started. We bought several rounds of drinks already. We were told by two staff members already that we didn’t have to pay and then they came around asking ONLY us for our wristbands. We spent money there and tipped well and were nice to everyone in the bar. Horrible business model to kick out four beautiful polite women for a miscommunication caused by their own staff. Every other bar ever doesn’t make you pay a cover if you arrive before the cover starts. Very rude to nice people and it was very upsetting that no one apologized. We would have paid the cover if they weren’t so rude and just apologized. I don’t know how they have such...
   Read moreNo food here although the Mexican (culturally appropriated) restaurant next door is pretty dang good. It’s called mama Leoni’s or something… I dunno, we were drinkin.
It’s a stinky bar just like its neighbors bar (the Dog) and the one across the street. No table service and a line at the bathrooms on a busy Friday night.
It’s fun and “has some of the best prices in town”. Now tell me, how are you gonna beat that? Well now (new venture enters stage left) get your very own Mary J Wana “dispensary” in the back of the joint and you literally have it all. Booze up front and ganja in the rear AND high quality munchies type food (for the stoned at heart) next door. The only thing missing here is valet service and a free ride home. Remember, DO NOT drink n drive kids, be responsible for once. It’s not like you came here for a blue dolphin now did ya?
The Remington is a great place to meet, have drinks and, if youre lucky, cut a rug (dance for the younger folks).
Go forth...
