Update 05/29/2024:
After I left a one-star review, the business’s Instagram account DM’d me: “Please be advised, you are ban(ed) permanently.” Honestly, that just confirmed what I already knew—this place isn’t worth the energy.
Original Review:
I’ve lived in the neighborhood for six years and made a genuine effort to support this bar. During the pandemic, I came often, brought different friends, and always tipped. But the longer I showed up, the clearer it became: this place only feels welcoming if you fit into a certain circle.
The owner, Mei, repeatedly acted like she didn’t recognize me—even after years of visits. When I brought it up, she said, “That’s how I treat everyone.” But if you own and hang out at a neighborhood bar, that kind of detachment doesn’t build community.
Beyond my personal experience, I’ve seen her yell at staff and escalate arguments with drunk customers instead of de-escalating them. That tells me a lot about how this place is run.
There’s also a visible difference in how some people are treated—who gets attention, and who gets ignored. I’m not here to cause a scene. I gave this place time, money, and patience. But I don’t share their values, and I don’t feel respected here.
No drama. Just done.
