I suggest that you don't consider this bar when you are just passing through. It isn't worth it.
The owner of this bar and their employee are dishonorable and dishonest in terms of customer service. I would give a zero star but there is no option to do so. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone who cares that their purchases are supporting deception and mistreatment of friendly well kept and respectful people passing through town. I, a friendly innocent stranger, was passing through town since I had broke my phone in the mountains and needed to charge my new one as it came with no battery and my car chargers broken so I could work after doing so and am far from "home."
I WAS GOING to PURCHASE a non-alcoholic beverage because I am sober as I was charging my phone( while was going to charge my phone, that I asked to charge, and they said okay, I also plugged in my laptop since it has a bad battery and needs to be plugged in to work). (Although intially-I inquired wether I could charge my phone even not getting anything.) They said YES, and EVEN SUGGESTED I sit in a specific spot instead of the table in the corner I suggested next to an outlet. The bartender did not object but AGREED with the suggestion of the customer, nor did they ask for my ID(initially). I asked if they had wifi (as long as I was charging my phone, but they said no suggesting a place that did, but it wasn't necessary for me to charge my phone and get back on the road since my chargers broken in my car so I stayed) I was sitting there politely and quiet and doing nothing more than minding my own buisness.
I personaly do not sit at mcdonalds or fast food restuarants for health reasons, and had been finding a place that might be comfortable and accomodating for me to charge my phone while getting a bev. contemplating what would sit well on my upset stomache. I get sick from many smells/lights/sounds when I have triggers as I have a debilitating stomache/migraine condition, which at the time of being in this bar was active so I went there specifically to avoid bad smells, bright lights, and loud music/people in wanting to also get an non-alcoholic beverage politely to offset the terrible heat of the day.
The bartender than proceeded to ask me for ID, saying:
"I know you aren't planning on getting anything to drink, but I need you to get it anyways." (Mind you I am 31, and I didn't think of it either, but I do not look 31.)
Instead of just asking me to leave respectfully they asked me to get my id. Of course I went and grabbed it as I had forgotten it. When I gave them my ID the bartender stared at it, and than asked me to leave immediately. I noted I was planning to get something, unlike which I prevoiusly stated when they has still said it was okay, but I left instead as I would never give any establishment as such my service for any reason whatsoever.
I instead proceeded in a hurry (as I had to be on my way) to return unsatisfied to ask for the owners information to prompt better customer service as it was a rude turn around, but the owner was sitting there. They than manipualtively scolded me for being there mentioning that where I was sitting "makes so much per hour" but I was recommended to sit there and told it was okay to do so, even though I had initially mentioned I wouldn't be getting anything, but changed my mind. (mind you all of the other seats, with the exception of a few at the bar itself, were empty). I left but I instead wanted to leave them an honest review. So I went back to ask where they get the most reviews. In so many words they said "While you go charge your phone at mcdonalds..." which is physically impossible for me to do considering my condition and the smell of fast food.
Due to my mistreatment and inability to charge my phone in my emergency situation and condition in an environment without loud blasted music, sickening smells, and bright lights I was forced to sit somewhere that made me even sicwe when my symptoms of my medical condition has subsided at the bar. This made them ten time worse than when I was at the lounge that was fairly quiet outside of the poolroom(because most of the seating was empty, mind you).
This is NOT an honest bar of friendly nor honest ownership. Consider it a no go, and consider Boston's Restaurant & Sports Bar (Great staff & environment) or Good Intentions (very polite, but more of a hole in the wall), The Hideout Social Lounge, Akimi Kantina, Whiskey Babies, and The Craft Bar to name a few.
The owner was a stuck up and full of herself and will probably try to respond to this comment as though they didn't treat me incorrectly as an innocent customer, but just ignore it and find a better place that works with honesty and respects customers who are planning on making purchases while using an outlet. read more
