Tony's Lotto Pub Bar — Restaurant in Salem

First impression was great, bartender was very welcoming. A friend of mine went to the restroom and was gone for 20+ minutes so I went to check on her only to find her standing in the hallway still waiting for the restroom. Proceeded to wait for her after another 5+ minutes a gentleman walks out of the bathroom. I told him this is the girls restroom the men’s is the first door. He stated “I cleaned it for you.” Great thank you but my friend’s been waiting 20+ minutes. He seemed fine with our conversation in the back hallway near restrooms. To my surprise once we came around the corner towards the crowd of people he YELLS at me and says “YOU NEED TO TALK TO ME NICE” very uncalled for. As a previous owner of a bar, the way he conducted himself was out of line. He continued muttering things so I went up to him and asked him if there was a problem. He then went into the serving area shut off the music and had the bartender kick me out. Didn’t fight it said ok just refund our drinks that we hadn’t even touched. Owner appeared intoxicated having a hard time counting $37, my total was $38 but im not worried about $1. As I was leaving he yells out “Walmart is across the street” not sure what he meant by this. An insult of some kind I assume. The only insult is the way the owner acted. Shutting off the music in order to create a scene was uncalled for, especially coming...

I recently worked at “Tony’s Lotto Pub Bar”. The reason for leaving the establishment was because after calling my general manager (Kendra), and letting her know I needed to leave due to a family emergency. She told me that unless my family member was dying and it is our last goodbyes that she can’t allow me to leave. She said she herself was intoxicated, so she could not come in. And the owner Jake was also “too busy” to come in as well. I let them know that I would be closing the bar and leaving if the GM could not come to relieve me. Due to the way they handled the situation I did not reach back out to them after leaving. The GM didn’t give me a specific time or date to return my key to the bar. She stated to return it “as soon as I can”. I returned it at my earliest convenience. I was not informed that I had deadline to return the key, nor did I sign anything that stated there would be a penalty fee for not returning it. They took the funds out of my check without any given notice to me at all. I did not quit, I waited for my check, which was NOT given to me until the next pay day by direct deposit. I returned the key before I was paid, then they took it upon themselves to deduct $300.00 from my check with no notice. I tried to contact the owner to discuss the situation and within minutes he blocked...

On my second visit (the first time was nice) I ordered a double vodka tonic. The seemingly ignorant little girl (found out she was 25) pored me a, what she considered was a double. I was one and done. The first drink was seemingly not a cocktail. Didn’t say anything. So I ordered a second with the same result. Now, let me iterate I’m 60 and know what a double anything tastes like. Nope. When I sat down, I started playing a game on my phone. I had shoulder replacement surgery and was able to stop wearing my sling and the most comfortable position was to look down with my left (that was the surgery side) hand under my chin for support to look down @ my game. After my first order, while putting it down, for some strange reason, she asked if I wanted a cup of coffee. Odd I thought so I asked her why and she responded with “you keep nodding off. “ I said no and that I’m playing a game on my phone. Later I ordered another and it was just as bad. I inquired if she new I was ordering doubles. She indicated yes and we started talking about the PC. (poor count) She didn’t know what that was. I explained what it was. She then went in back and called someone apparently in authority. I was then rudely cut off. My advise is: don’t waste your time going there. Unless you like...
