I had been here once or twice, the food wasn't great, neither was the service, but it is close and relatively inexpensive.



Went back early on a Saturday for a drink and some lunch (after a long study session). It was relatively empty, save for a few crowds of obvious "regulars" whom the bartender knew by name. When I asked if they had a jalapeno poppers, the bartender (a suggestively dressed woman in her 50s) suggested I go across the street, which I thought to be odd, as I have never had someone in the industry suggest I go elsewhere for service. I thought for a moment that perhaps they didn't appreciate the "college crowd", but dismissed that immediately considering that I am 30-something professional.



From there, the service only got worse, and quickly. The other patrons all seemed nice (all in their 50s or above, generally friendly, video poker playing crowd). Our food was cold, our empty glasses sat there FOREVER, and she would walk away while when we spoke to her about anything, and when we did engage her, she was ridiculously rude, there really is no other way to describe the treatment me and my friend received other than ridiculous and uncalled for. We had been in high spirits when we arrived, and were feeling quite dejected by the time we had finally gotten our check, only to realize we had been SEVERELY upcharged. Like, almost $10 a drink for a normally $5-6 drink (like I said, I had been there before, our drinks were not double nor top shelf).



I told my friend that due to her behavior AND the upcharging on top of it, I would not be tipping. I used to work in the industry, and had I ever treated a customer like that, I wouldn't have kept my job, let alone a couple of women who did nothing to deserve it. My friend still tipped, but whatever.



We left, and upon pulling out of our parking spot, another car whipped out and drove almost into our vehicle, head on (we had stopped). We put our car in reverse, and this one advanced, this time beside us. I thought it was a severely intoxicated patron, until the woman motioned for us and rolled down our window--surprise! She was a patron whom the bartender had sent to confront us for not tipping! (Which no one would have known, as we handed her our cash directly!). She not only confronted us for not tipping, but called us a few choice names, then peeled out of the parking lot.



Terrible service + awful treatment/attitude + siccing another patron on us = worst bar ever. I wish I had taken her recommendation and gone to the other bar. I can't believe the lack of class of the bartender, and this bar.



I wish I could leave it 0 stars.
