This place has been so solid for so long for me and my friends. That was until last night. Four of us were in the bar area for 2.5 hours.
In this time, I had 3 domestic beers, two friends had 4 domestic beers each, another friend had 2 domestic beers and two shots. All inside the bar, which is always loud with music and patrons talking.
Throughout our drinks, we also ordered wings and fries for the table. We aren't small men, by any means, and this isn't our first time having drinks. So when our waitress ended her shift 2 hrs into our stay, we tabbed out so she could receive her tips. She was great by the way. Very punctual, friendly, and took great care of us, which is the main reason we closed out and were told that another server will be over soon.
30 minutes later, a worker (don't know if he is a bar tender, server or cook) approaches the table (Dyvon) and tells us that we have had too much and cannot no longer stay. Collectively, we thought that this guy was joking, but turned out that apparently what we had ordered to drink was too much for them to continue to serve us (13 domestic beers and two shots between 4 large men), even though we also ordered food.
I proceed to give the guy shit, because it's apparent that after eating and not being served for 30 minutes, we had overstayed our welcome. He wasn't a fan of this or me calling him Dyvon, so we proceed to leave.
I tell Dyvon that reviews will be left, which will not be flattering, to which he states "perfect, we love those. It shows that we care for our patrons and know when they had enough". He wasn't aware of his hypocritical statement, because earlier he said "you can drink somewhere else, but just not here". So how does that align with "taking care of our patrons"?
On our way out, Dyvon tells us that we need to pay our tab, to which I proceed to show him my receipt of payment and let him know that it's not hard to do your due diligence and check your system if you don't think we paid our tab.
Again, we've been coming here for years and have never had an experience like this. So needless to say, we won't be coming back, as there are so many options is this great city that we live in.
There will come a day when servers with an authoritative mindset will be replaced by machines and with no other survivable skills will be living under a bridge.
