The Houndstooth — Restaurant in Tuscaloosa

Literally sat in the parking lot on yesterday 2/16/2024 @10:59 and waited for the doors to open because my son wanted to try the Nashville hot chicken so bad. We watched and employee see us pull the door @ 11 am and continued their conversation on the phone. So we sat in the parking lot for a couple of minutes just to see if they would open the doors but no. We came to the door again and the employees looked us dead in our face and waited until we got in the car to unlock the doors. By this time it was after 11 am. We chose to spend our money at hooligans with is next door. I only shop where my time and money is appreciated. Tbh we were actually at hooligans @ 10:45 but he wanted Houndstooth so bad we didn't know what time they opened until we walked over from hooligans, so I ran a couple of errands because we saw they didn't open until 11am, only to be treated like this.....

We have been going to Houndstooth for 4 years while our son has been at UofA, it has always been a fun spot. I have never been impressed with the bartenders, usually slow and not too friendly. But last night we had the worst bartender ever. After she held our credit card for 2 rounds she told us she did not have it while we were ordering a 3rd round. I politely asked her to look again and she said, we don't have it, you're not in the system, you have to pay cash if you want these drinks. She was incredibly rude during the entire interaction. After asking for the manager, he of course found our card in about 20 seconds but would not make her apologize to us. if you want to interact with friendly and professional bartenders, do not go to...

The drinks are always amazing here and the staff is always polite and attentive. This bar definitely wins for the largest restroom I never have to wait in line to use the restroom at this bar. I think they have a TV on every inch of wall space in this place and if you ask them to change it they don't mind. The bathrooms are constantly looked after and kept clean. There's great outdoor seating and plenty of seating inside along with pool tables and bar space. We'll kept all around. Definitely recommend this place for big parties!! If they ever have a crawfish boil. Don't miss it!! I have been a few times and the crawfish are always amazing!! Great...
