The Patio Bar & Café — Restaurant in Waterbury

Arrived here on a Friday a little before ten. Got the vibe it was a fun night spot… ordered two tequila sodas and my husband two captain and cokes. We also each had two shots of fireball totaling 4 all together. I was expecting to pay 7ish per shot and maybe 9ish per drink. The spot is nice but was definitely giving a cross between Latin club and dive bar. We had two sides of fries at 2.50 a piece… instead of the 75-80 bill I was expecting it was 117!!!! When my husband asked if the bill was correct the owner said something along the lines of “we looked at prices of places near by and priced accordingly”. At our fav spot in Southington (which is a much nicer town) we’re used to paying about 8 bucks a drink and 6-7 or so a shot if that. The owner thinks this place is giving NYC nightclub vibe but it’s not… no one is even here. Guess everyone caught on expect us. It’s a Friday almost 11:00pm will never return. Also my husband asked when we first arrived if it picked up as it got later (we did arrive before ten) to switch the bartender responded oh yes in 20 minutes it’ll be packed… a straight up lie. When this place was shamrock back in the day the nightlife was amazing !! Took photos of the empty club but don’t know how to post this is only my second google review ever goes to show how much this place pissed me off… won’t...

Plenty of parking, nice outdoor sitting area, food and drinks were ok I guess but for the price we paid could have been better… indoors is ok, big open area, looks like a billiard/sports bar more than a cafe. They do have live entertainment and were setting up for it while we where there.. Negative dining experience, there was no hostess and had to figure out if we waited or sit ourselves, which we did.. all waitresses behind bar or in kitchen and customers waiting too long for food, and for their drinks, beverages.. there were times you had to get up and ask for waitress..we were at restaurant for 3 hours, hour and half waiting and looking for waitress to take order or bring order out.. Noise level (Music) too loud.. Appetizer not enough meats or chorizo and chicken pieces overcooked.. Margarita not enough liquor and did not like the mix, tasted ok, not great! I had to try to cut my overcooked meat w/butter knife Will...

If I could give 0 stars I would, the only good thing about the place was the music. I had such high hopes walking in and even complimented the place. The place was nearly empty, that should’ve been a red flag on a Saturday. The food took almost an hour to come out and the fried fish was not good, it tasted weird, it was bland and not seasoned at all. I took one bite out of it and left hungry. When I mentioned this to the manager, his response was “oh well, everyone comes here and gets the food and says it’s great, that’s just how we cook it, we’ve never had any complaints and maybe it’s just not for you. We can’t take it off the bill because it’s our loss.” In the same way, it’s my loss as a customer, I am leaving hungry and paying for something I did not eat. On top of that, it was on special and they charged regular price. The manager had extremely unprofessional mannerisms and needs customer...
