After a few minutes, one of the girls finally came to say hi and see what we were looking for. I guess she was counting out the til, or something like that, and was too preoccupied. Whatever, no biggie. She did buy me a shot since it was my birthday, though the cheapest shot on the menu wasn't too impressive (Tullamore Dew). The price was right, though not what I was there for.
We went there because I enjoy Irish and Bourbon whiskey. Their website advertises Happy Hour, 7-Days a Week, 3-6pm, with HALF OFF ALL TOP SHELF IRISH AND SCOTCH WHISKIES. It said that when I pulled it up on my phone, and still says that today. Well, apparently that is now only on THURSDAYS, which the waitress informed me while pointing at the new menus on the bar, quite rudely as if I should have known. So much for that 30 Year GLENFIDDICH... normally $42 a 2oz pour. They wouldn't honor it, of course, nor did I expect them to at that point.
So we decide to get some beers/drinks. A friend of mine asked to try something first, so she poured a taster and proceeded to walk away to chat with the other bartender, as if no one else wanted anything. 5 Minutes later we had to flag her down to get her to take the rest of our drink orders. They advertise a unique Black/Tan Combo of the month, which I wanted to try... but they didn't have the seasonal needed for the Tan. Charming. Had a bottle of Three Floyds Alpha King, good beer! My buddy ordered a Captain and Coke, took her 3 minutes to realize the bottle was right in front of her... C'mon now...
Finally got some beers and started chatting for a bit. We had already determined that we were going elsewhere for dinner at this point. Waitresses standing around, talking about some personal drama in clear view of the entire bar, which was now just the 5 of us. By the time she came back to ask if we were staying for dinner, I could do nothing but roll my eyes and explain that "I'm not here for the damn Sheppards Pie...".
Check please.
Seriously, the place has the right type of atmosphere, selection of drinks (when in stock), and in a decent location. Get your stuff straight! How difficult is it to update the website? How about some half-way enthusiastic or attentive bartenders?
Very disappointed, considering how highly people spoke about the place...
