12th Street Ale House — Restaurant in New York

Bartender with mullet was incredibly rude and straight up harassed my friend over her tip. He approached us and relentlessly harassed her until she left a higher tip. Listen, I’ve worked in the service industry (in fact, we all have) and I would never DREAM of approaching a customer in such a way. I understand being bummed about less than 20% but shouting and carrying on to a customer in an effort to embarrass them and back them into a corner is insane. He was swearing and didn’t walk away until she changed the amount. Then on our way out he told us not to come back. We ordered a beer, two well mixed drinks and a couple of shots— and planned to order more, but we were super uncomfortable after this literal berating that we left. I take some sort of peace in knowing that based on these reviews that he does this often, but the fact that this is a pattern and his management allows this continue is embarrassing for this establishment, to...

I don’t write many bad reviews but the experience I had last night was extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional. I was in a booth with friends and went to the bar to get shots and three drinks. I took the shots and drinks back to the table myself (no extra service involved). I tipped over 10% on the check as I believe to be customary at a bar (I was 100% going to keep tipping on every drink I got after as well). The bartender came over to the booth I was in and shoved the receipt in my face asking if there was something wrong with the service. When I attempted to clarify if she wanted more money she said “well this is barely 10%” and stood there until I very uncomfortably added to the tip so as to minimize a conflict. I ended up tipping 30 or 40% on the check, even though the service was completely unprofessional and...

If i could put zero stars i would. Ordered drinks and shots with my friends sat at a table and was rudely interrupted ten minutes later by the bartender asking if what i tipped was correct. After I said yes, he continued to say how i could possibly tip that low, if they did a horrible job, if I do this at other bars etc. I think it’s incredibly rude and disrespectful to come up to someone regardless of how much I decided to tip. And then relentlessly continued to ask if I want to tip more. After he stood over my shoulder and watched as I uncomfortably adjusted the tip I can say I will never be back to this very underwhelming bar with horribly rude workers. Don’t waste your time...
