Im a local and used to love this spot until I walked out of this bar furious and in tears, after 2 drinks. Why? The BARTENDER CALLED ME A BITCH, BERATED ME, THEN REFUSED to close out my tab because he was wasted. My friends and I watched him take about 4 shots the first hour and it escalated from there. It was clear he was semi-drunk when we ordered our second round. About 20 minutes later we tried ordering our 3rd drink. My friends and I had been watching him proceed to take another 6-8 shots with his buddies in a matter of 20 minutes. I suggested we get another drink while we still could and spent the next 15-20 proceeding to ask him to please make us another round, while ignoring us and going back to his friends. My friends drink Mezcal and Its not my thing so I was ordering my drink with Tequila. The bartender BERATED me and refused to serve me because I would not drink mezcal. My friend got involved and asked why he was being unjustly mean and rude to me and wouldn't serve us. He replies, "Because She's A Bitch!" He stated he would serve them but not me.
At that point, my friends sitting next to me witnessing all this said, "Woah Dude, Calm Down. She didn't do anything." I asked if we should just close out as I was super upset at this point, NOT ONLY because he verbally assaulted me, but he completely KILLED our entire evening, with friends I have not seen in a while. I asked for my tab and he shook his head and says, "NOPE," and continued to do this with an evil smirk several other times. Obviously, I am floored this is happening and am clearly very upset. My friends asked me to walk out. 5 minutes later they finally came out with my tab. Which, btw, I would like refunded for. He was a HUGE mess at this point and should NOT have been behind the bar. He was the only one there so no one did anything about it.
Once they came outside, I warned another couple walking in of the situation and warned them not to go in. They went in and in 3 minutes walked out along with another few girls who told us, He was completely obliterated and even fell behind the bar. The security guy should have taken him out and closed the bar. But nothing was done. I was so frustrated and angry I was in tears.
I got home and told one of my friends about what just happened, who lives close and goes there often. I later found out that he walked over to the bar, where the guy, think it was like Pablo or something, was STILL behind the bar taking shots. He walks up to the bar and they have a confrontation where the bartender came up to him and PUNCHED him, IN THE HEAD! According to my friend, he then pushed him into the hallway and PUNCHES HIM AGAIN in the shoulder! (I had NO idea or suspect that by telling him the story, he would have walked over). My friend ended up calling the police and filing battery charges. Someone snuck him out of the back of the bar because apparently within the 3 minutes, my friend said it took the police to come, he somehow disappeared. Mind you too drunk to drive and too belligerent to get into a Uber/Lyft. The police apparently gathered the security footage.
THIS IS COMPLETELY UNCALLED FOR. THEY REFUSED TO CLOSE THE BAR EARLIER AND IN FACT, LET HIM STAY BEHIND THE BAR. HUGE LIABILITY!! The bar ended up closing anyway.
I would like to know he no longer works there and be refunded my money and apologized to.
Also, they got rid of the amazing taco vendor in the back and replaced them with TERRIBLE FOOD! The meat was burnt, cash only, my friend hated the tortilla chips and the melted queso tasted like 7-11 cheese. DO NOT EAT HERE.
It is SUCH a bummer because I used to LOVE this place. The irresponsible management is killing them.
