Lynnwood Brewing Concern

The bar itself is ok, but I was double charged (and never signed the debit transaction). I paid with a gift card (visa) but they said they had to hold the funds on my bank card to start a tab. At the end of the night, I paid my tab with the gift card but see my debit card was also charged. I have a receipt that shows only one card transaction was signed. I never signed or authorized the debit card. I paid with a gift card for a reason. Now my account went into negative, I have to dispute the charge and pay overdraft fees. Thanks guys. Awesome service. Love it when I’m charged twice and have to dispute with my bank. Always fun. I’ll be bringing cash if I ever come again, which I probably won’t and I’m sure you couldn’t care less about losing a customer.

MY update:

When a business owner threatens to sue someone over a factual review that doesn’t look good for your business practice. Yes... I was threatened with a lawsuit over my review. I even had to call the police to have Ted Dwyer stop harassing and threatening me over a factual review left on Google and Facebook. The police told him not contact me further so now he’s doing it publicly.

I paid the tab I was given at the end of the night. That’s the fact on the matter. Your company charged my other card hours later without my knowledge, consent or authorization. That is the actual fact of the matter and there is no discussion on it. I have literal proof I paid the tab I was given. End of story. I never ran 2 tabs... that makes no sense and is simply not true.

I will provide all emails to anyone who wants to see how Ted Dwyer (the owner) responded to my complaint of being charged on a separate card when I paid the tab I was given, in full, when cashing out my tab. Ted’s email was full of excuses and lies. He changed his story 3 times. I have these emails and they show how emotionally unhinged he is and continues to be.

I would steer clear of this business... I certainly won’t return. However if you do go, definitely pay cash because they don’t mind making unauthorized charges on a card you used to open a tab (so pay per beer with cash and don’t give them your card).

I also have a witness who was with me and can corroborate what happened.

Here’s the best part: WellsFargo refunded my money and I assume he was also paid. It was only $10.83 in question which isn’t enough for the bank to investigate (which I would have prevailed) so yeah... this is crazy but also kinda funny.

You can’t deny literal facts especially when someone has proof of them. Reminds me of an ex president we had recently. 😂
