The Juke Joint — Restaurant in Ocean Springs

Poor customer service.. I had a very bad and frankly weird experience with the bartender. I walked in the door and it wasn't very busy but also not dead. There were about four empty chairs at the bar. I sat in one of the empty stools and there was an empty stool to my right then a man and next to him to his right was his dog. Immediately upon sitting down the dog jumped over the man onto the empty stool next to me, he was a friendly dog and I was petting him, and like many dogs he was just happy to be getting attention.. The bartender came from behind the bar with a bowl of water for the dog. She placed the bowl of water on the floor right next to me. I thought this was a nice gesture, the dog began to bark at the bowl of water from the bar stool and me and a few other people were kind of laughing about it. The dogs owner said " I think he wants it up here." It was closer to me, so I reached down and grabbed it and set it on the bar in front of the dog. The bartender immediately began to berade me about putting the bowl on the bar. I quickly apologized grabbed the bowl and placed it back onto the floor, but she just kept going. She said "did you see me put it on the bar?, no you didn't, I put it on the floor. That's where I wanted it, you are rude." Again I apologize try to assure her that I was not trying to be rude, that I was only trying to help, but she just kept going. At this point, it almost felt like she was trying to create a situation and escalate it to something else, and I have no idea why.. The man next to me was apologizing to me, as the bartender was berating me.. I just apologized and got out of there quickly.. I completely understand if there's like a health code or something like that, maybe that's why it couldn't be on the bar. But all she had to do was say hey man that can't be on the bar.. The whole thing was seriously odd, extremely aggressive, and absolutely unwarranted.

At this point it's a DO...

This place is the bees knees. I’m sitting outside on the front porch right meow, sippin’ my third drink and I only paid $15 for UNLIMITED drinks!!! WHAT’S UP WITH THAT?!? I feel as giddy as a school girl! On top of that, the staff is hella friendly! Like, friendlier than my southern grandma who makes me a feast when I come to visit her! Now, at first glance, it kind of looks like a haunted house, but it is SOOOOO DOPE! Once you get to the porch, you immediately feel the sick vibes going on! You get your drinks, chill inside, and then you go out back... and let me tell you about going out back! The place is LIT! Like, literally. It’s lit. There’s all kinds of crazy cool lights in the back strung around the trees! Did I mention there’s a fire pit?!?! Anyway, if you haven’t been here, you’re more than likely wasting your life sitting in front of your Xbox playing PUBG, thinking, “man, I wish I could get social interaction but I’m just so afraid of talking to real people.” Seriously. Come here. Have a good time. Get turnt....

Me and my friends were met at the door by some big guy with a shaggy red beard. He immediately took our REAL IDs and bent them up while flashing his bright flashlight in our eyes. He then took them inside to scan and came back 5 minutes later saying they wouldn’t scan. He claimed they were fake and too thin. Guess he hasn’t seen a real Tennessee ID. We attempted to show him other forms of identity and he didn’t give it the time of day. And while all of this was going on, two young looking guys walked right in without being checked for ID. Then he proceeded to raise his voice at us and tell us he was done with us But luckily after all of this, the salty peach bar was open down the road, that place was great, everyone was nice and welcoming unlike the...
