Black Whale Pub — Restaurant in New Braunfels

Well Miss Baker, I find it funny, to say the least, how your memory seems a tad fuzzy about the ACTUAL events that occurred last week during your evening at the Whale. Perhaps the amount of alcohol you had to drink has corrupted your memory. As a patron and witness of these very events that evening, allow me to retort: 1st. You were there MUCH longer than "about 30 seconds" as you stated. I could hear your group, and particularly you, at the front right of the bar for quite some time before you and your cadre left that table an approached the bar. Upon your approach to the bar, the female bartender "suggested" that certain members of your group have a glass of water because as any responsible bartender will tell you, over serving any patron can end up costing them their license, and will result in a severe fine. After suggesting you and your friends "have a water and then a beer" you verbally took offense to it. As the bartender walked away, you chose to say, and I quote, "that fing bh has it in for me" and may I add it was hardly a statement you made under your breath. Don't recall that? I'm not surprised. Your belligerent remarks continued every time the bartender would walk back and forth up and down the bar and after a few minutes (your friends had finished their water by now) the bartender asked your friends if they would like a drink. Immediately you piped up and ordered a drink to which she replied "sweety, I asked you to drink a water first and then I'd take your order". She then turned to your friends and took their drink orders. Upon returning with those drinks, you made more comments (I couldn't fully understand them as you were slurring--I was a scant 6 feet away) and THAT was the moment that she chose to tell you that she has a right to serve whomever she chooses, followed shortly after with "I also have the right to ask you to leave". This just p*ssed you off further and you launched into another loud, obnoxious round of name calling and profanity. (Kiss your mom with that mouth?) It was at that point she confronted you for a THIRD time, was yelled at by your male companion and she asked you all to please leave the bar. You "left on your own" only to the extent that you were physically able to stagger out the door. Memo to yourself- most bartenders are responsible servers and when one asks you to "have a glass of water" before your next drink, instead of acting like a spoiled, entitled brat, perhaps you should be thankful that someone is looking out for you and trying not to jeopardize their job, their establishment, and the lives of others in the community. But hey, I get it, in your eyes you have a right to get as drunk as you want. Perhaps you should go hang out at establishments that are more concerned with just slinging drinks than actually taking care of...

Walked in and sat at the bar. The bartender came over to us and started talking and some other people walked in and she immediately stopped talking to us, said a very excited hello to the people barely through the door, and took their drink order before they even sat down. Needless to say we got up and left, and not until we were out the door did she try to acknowledge us. This isn’t a post to be a “Karen” just really bad service, especially since I’m a bartender as well. I get saying hi to regulars but when you’re already talking to a customer maybe just finish up with them first. Let me add this was during the day and there were only 2 other people in the bar when we sat down. So she had plenty of time to get to her...

Our group of 6 came in and the bartender was incredibly rude and condescending. She was targeting myself in particular because I was speaking loudly. She was unnecessarily telling me "sweetie I could ask you to leave". We were not being rowdy. We were not being crude. We were just talking with friends. We were only here for about 30 seconds before she continued to share her sense of authority and telling me she could ask me to leave again when I questioned why I would be asked to leave. It was unnecessary and had no reason. We left on our own because she obviously didn't want us there to begin with. I've never in my life been asked to leave a bar or been treated this way by a bartender. It was...
