Hinterlands Bar — Restaurant in New York

When did it become more about the worker and less about the customer?

So i had a fairly bad x-mas. My kids are in Miami, i went to my mothers house she wasnt home and i locked my self out of my apartment. So i really spend xmas alone. While waiting for the super to open my apartment. I said let me go to the new neighborhood bar and kill time because i didnt know how long i would be waiting. Its 8pm I'm the first and only person. Female bartender is still setting up. She is all over the place. I sit at the bar second stool with my back to the window. I'm on my phone going live on Facebook, doing some Instagram vids and try to see when to supper is gonna drop off my keys. The bartender come to me and says please dont sit at the bar is you are gonna talk on the phone. She has a pet peeve the pervents her from concentrating and it makes her feel left out. Im like what??????? I tell her my story and order a drink (we have a little small talk) even though I start to think she is a little off I get a facetime from my girl because she is concerned about my situation.( me being alone on xmas her and the kids are in Miami) I get up from the bar and take a seat at the window. I now have my back to the bar ( this is me being trying to be respectful). I get a tap on the shoulder. I asked you not to talk on the phone at the bar. You can go sit in the back room if you wanna talk. I told you this was my pet peeve and its also my xmas too. I leave 3 dollars on table put on my jacket and leave. I waited out my apartment for 30 mins but is was better than being in a...

OK, what made me stop in front of this bar is the sign on the container of water. From what I could see, from the window outside, is that this place would be a good place in the neighborhood to have a few drinks and have people who care about you get you home safely. Now how did I come to that understanding? It came to me because of the two women that was sitting near, the water jug and I know that some of them had something to do with that sign. It was hot that day and they hanging out right down the street from lofty pigeon books. So meeting all these people in this area brought back memories of the Brooklyn in the 70’s. “Just Folks “ and when you have just folks around you, you feel like you’re at home. You feel like you’re in the community and you feel like you’re safe. That’s how this area made me feel it took me back to Bergen Avenue and Nostrand. I think y’all should go over and judge for yourself how Hinterlands Bar can make you feel. It’s...

One of the better bars in the area due to a tasteful aesthetic and pretty laid back atmosphere. Unfortunately some of the bartenders are on a power-trip. The 5ft 2ish bartender with long long curly hair desires to mindlessly escalate the situtation. A friend of his lost his temper during our discussion and started yelling and his response was to kick me out because since it's clear he has no time to find out what happened and why his deranged friend is at fault and apparently he's fed up from not being tipped early (a personal problem from earlier in the night that he feels compelled to make mine).

We may all have a difficult time at work, but most of us at least make an effort not pay it forward to people who had nothing to do with it. Apparently this isn't the case for some for some of the employees of the Hinterlands.

Find a place that doesn't employ powertripping Liliputian bullies who decide to unload on patrons because someone didn't tip...
