Didn't enjoy our experience here. BAIT & SWITCH AT ITS FINEST! That coupon you're being offered is for your next visit guys! Make sure you ask LOL.
My fiance and I were leisurely walking down 2nd St. and, when passing Angel's Share, was offered a drink coupon for Buy 1 get 50% off the 2nd. We thought, why not partake?
It was a Friday night. 8PM. There was only 1 bartender and she was quick and MOVING! We sat at the bar. We ordered the Oaxacan Old Fashioned and a strawberry margarita type of drink (about $17 ea). It was a little difficult reading their menu. Food is on one side, cocktails are on the other. But then to see the beer list, you have to scan the QR code, which we did not realize until after ordering cocktails. Additionally, we looked around and saw people with whiskey flights, but we did not see how to order them? Idk..
While waiting for our drinks, I decided to hit the restroom. Man!! The restroom was horrid. You can tell management definitely does not care for the state of their restroom. It smelled like urine and just looked like it hadn't been scrubbed in quite some time. I'd align it with what you'd expect to see at a public park, except the sink, toilet, walls, and floors were all black - probably intentional to match the decor of the restaurant, or maybe intentional so that it hides the dirt. Either way, after the restroom visit, I knew I wasn't coming back. I just can't bring myself to frequent a spot who wants to be elevated, charges $17 for a cocktail, and has a restroom like that! I would expect that from a dive bar.
The cocktails were delicious. However what tainted their taste was when the bartender told me that the coupon is for the next visit, and not the current. I told the bartender, "Oh, but I'm not coming back" to which she said, "Ok, I'll apply it today." -_- well, thanks.
As we walked out, I asked the lady who gave me the coupon if this is her place and she said yes. I told her I was advised that the coupon was for next time? & she smiled and said, "oh no .. you can use it today." trying to play it off. I replied, "That's not what the bartender said. What you're doing is misleading." and we continued our drinking elsewhere.
After reading their yelp reviews today, MULTIPLE reviews say this! You cannot bait people in with drink coupons, then attempt to not honor them upon checkout. What a joke. For the price and cleanliness, you're better off at Saint & Second or honestly, ANYWHERE else.
