Absolutely the freaking worst. The freaking manager was so dam rude. I went with my friend who is a regular and He was buying drinks for all of us. and then can you believe that when my friend went outside to smoke a cigarette. The dam manager . Came to my other friend and I to tell us that we had to order something because it's been 30 minutes and it ain't a public place so we can't sit here . Like are u freaking kidding me. My friend invited us and was paying for so many drinks and the minute he steps out THE manager felt the need to step to us. That's crazy . We immediately waited for my friend to return so we can let him know what HAPPEN. WE HAD a brief conversation with the dick manager and moved on. So great now my friend won't ever return and he was a loyal every weekend customer. Great. Horrible CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE WORST...

Shady spot. They will add a service charge/tip without telling you. My bill was $105 and when they ran my card it was $117.50 I could tell from the phone app from my bank. My friend was visibly drunk and they were still giving him drinks and running up the tab.

Fun spot...
