I love whiskey and I'm sure I would have loved it here but the bartender that was working was a real POS.
This was just after the fireworks ended on the 4th so downtown was getting crowded. It was early-about 10:15, and while the bar was empty that was likely about to change.
My wife and I walk in and are not sure if we can seat ourselves but the bartender basically just stared at us. So we go to sit on the bench along the wall and he says "two people done need to sit at a table that big". It was a 4-top, first of all, and the place was mostly empty. But he saysc "you can sit at the bar".
Fine, we sit at the bar, then he says he hopes we don't want to eat because the kitchen is closing. It's not just he said that, it's the attitude and disgust he said it with. Like a New Yorker having a bad night but without the humor you usually get with it. There are an infinite other ways to say that without being an a**about it.
Finally, we sit down and he says something about how we need to be quick because they're probably going to close. Again, 10:15, a Friday night, and the 4th of July just after the fire works, and you're going to close early?
Anyway, seeing as how he clearly didn't want us there and wasn't interested in serving us, we got up and left. Hopefully he found it annoying that he now had to clean the water glasses he gave us.
Truly truly an a**h***. The place is beautiful and the whiskey selection awesome. I would have enjoyed being here for a couple of drinks but now I'm just happy I didn't give them my money. Plenty of other places to go.
