I've been to this place twice, and both times were very disappointing. I didn't want to rate this place after one visit, so I gave them another chance, but still a no for me.
1) bartenders use a glassware to scoop ice from the well. This is a big mistake in the bar industry. Please use an ice scoop no matter how busy it is.
2) A Negroni should be stirred, not shaken. Even with Mezcal in it. Period. Is there citrus juice in it? No. Is there egg white or aquafaba? No. So why shake it?
3) I agree to other comments but some bartenders are pretty rude, unfriendly, and unlikable.
I know it may or may not be bartenders fault, but bar managers should teach them basic skills like hospitality and bartending 101.
P.S. I get that it's a dive bar so the speed and efficiency are important. So the whiskey Sour is just whiskey and sour mix. Sure, that's ok. But when a customer specifically ask if you have lemon juice and orders a whiskey Sour AFTER the bartender says "yes we do", then the customer is proooobably expecting you to shake up a 3-ingredients cocktail. I mean, if you are going to shake a negroni up unnecessarily, why not make a proper whiskey Sour? Just a thought. read more
