Pike Cornerstone — Restaurant in Virginia

I recently visited The Pike Cornerstone for lunch and had a disappointing experience with the bar service. I ordered three Old Fashions made with Maker’s Mark. The server never informed me that there would be an additional charge for using Maker’s instead of the default bourbon.

When I ordered a third round of drinks for the table, the server completely forgot the order. After waiting around 15 minutes, I had to step inside and remind her. She responded by looking down at her device and said, “Oh, my bad!”—not exactly professional.

When we received the bill, I noticed two separate line items for my drinks. One showed a $39 charge for the Maker’s Mark, and another listed $12 for the Old Fashioned—totaling $51 for just three drinks. It felt like I was being double-charged or up charged without warning.

We rented out the first floor for an event and working with Pete was amazing! He let us share a spotify playlist to play during the event, and assisted in casting a slideshow to their TVs. Pete was super responsive and transparent, and great at communicating before and during the event. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the setting.

They also have a very good beer and cocktail list that everyone enjoyed. Siobhan (manager) did a wonderful job during the event and made everything run smoothly.
