This is the worst experience I've had at a bar. My wife and I were married yesterday and decided to come to this establishment to celebrate with three good friends of ours. When we arrived, my wife and friends went to the back patio to have a smoke while I went to the bar to get us our first round of drinks. I asked for 2 pacificos and 3 shots for us all. The young blonde woman behind the bar said "no, you can have 2 beers and no shots, or nothing at all." I've been a bartender for ten years so I've cut people off and denied service for every reason out there, so I know how and why it happens. What i didn't understand is why I was being refused service. But I'm not unreasonable so I asked if she could give me a reason why (maybe she didn't believe that i had people with me or she thought i was already intoxicated, both valid reasons). I asked why I wasn't allowed to order our drinks and was told "because I said so." That's an awful way to run any business much less a bar. I ended up returning with 3 of our friends to show her I wasn't planning on drinking all alone. She gave me the same speech again, this time adding, " or you can leave." So we left with no drinks and brought our business elsewhere. All I needed was just a reason that I wasnt allowed to spend money at this establishment to celebrate a momentous day with loved ones, and I would have accepted and adjusted. I will not be returning to this place...
Read moreI used to love coming to The Other Room but after a bad experience a couple Saturday’s back, I won’t be returning. I came in around 9:40 with 2 other people. Thankfully a table towards the front was leaving so we hopped right in. We saw a couple other tables behind us getting waited on by bartenders so we figured one would come by and wipe down the table from the previous group and take our orders but no such luck. Finally the table directly behind was waited on by a bartender so again, we figured she’d come to our table next but no such luck again. At this point we’d been here for about 20 mins and a little frustrated so we went up to the bar and asked what was going on. The bartender mentioned that they stop doing table service at 10. I look at my phone and see that it just turned 10:01 so I’m not sure why we weren’t serviced previously. There were no apologies for the poor and lacking service. We did go ahead and order one drink since we were there. They were just okay, nothing to write home about. I’m not sure why our table specifically was targeted as not one to be waited on. Probably won’t be back any time soon if the service is going to...
