Bar Next Door — Restaurant in West Hollywood

Was in last night on Easter Monday. I had brought my friend who was visiting town from Colombia. English is not his first language. There was one female bartender and one male waiter working. We had the male bartender/waiter. We stepped outside to wait for our Ubers after my friend paid for 2 rounds of drinks inside, accidentally forgetting to sign. The door guy brought the bill outside and my friend signed. Which was normal and fine.

Then the male waiter came outside aggressively, with a condescending tone asking if he'd offended us. My friend and I were in the middle of laughing and smiling outside after what was otherwise a great night at the bar. Confused, we asked what he meant. He kept passive aggressively addressing my Colombian friend saying "Did I offend you?" "Was something wrong with my service?" over and over again.

My friend explained he didn't know what he meant and the waiter ultimately pressured him into tipping. My friend, still confused, said "How much do I need to tip you?" And the waiter continued in an extremely condescending tone standing uncomfortably close to my friend, and said "There's suggested tip amounts on the receipt.", "I'm just wondering if I've offended you.", "Was there something wrong with my service?", "Have I offended you or something?" again and again. My friend was unaware as he is not from here and this was his first time in the states. So my friend got out a $20 bill and asked if that was enough. The waiter took the bill and walked back inside. It was very clear he was trying to make my male friend feel small in front of me.

I've actually really enjoyed this bar in the past and have brought a few friends there before. Unfortunately I won't be returning or recommending the bar after the way the staff treated...

I enjoyed every aspect of this bar. The bartenders were as friendly as they are talented. Great drink menu with plenty of options and helpful descriptions. My martini was absolutely spot on. They are happy to give you drink recommendations. It was cozy but didn’t feel cramped. The music was fun but not too loud. The bar stools were comfy. Bathrooms were clean and plentiful for the size of the establishment. Overall you can tell the ownership, management, and staff just care about running a great bar and they deliver. My sister and I needed a good night out to destress from work, catch up, have fun, and get tipsy. Mission...

After reading the outstanding reviews, we came here on an early Sunday evening (we were in town visiting family) and decided to check it out. We literally had the bar to ourselves (we were told it's usually In the Biz night after 10pm). Harper and Marshall were absolutely amazing bartenders serving up incredible drinks (between the five of us, we tried all of the specialty cocktails - MUST TRY them ALL!).

Harper had us playing Bingo too! Great vibes, conversations and enjoyed the reel to reel music. Definitely recommend going! Only drawback is parking but other than that, it lives up to...
