The 45th Street Pub

The Edgewater location is the worst!! Very unorganized. Lack professionalism. Red-flag people anytime they feel. Even if they did not red-flag you in error, they are very un-apologenic  when you try to correct them. Do all black girls look alike to these people? They told me I was red-flagged after being carded. Okay  I am practically 30...wrong person, but the manager was not trying to hear that. Just ridiculous!

I get it. You're in new Jersey, so maybe you think that no one will be shocked by your poor service--wrong. I came to this very failed "upscale dive" to meet 3 others. I was greeted by a soon to be absent waitress with the specials. I was told "all Three Olive Vodka is on special." I say to my very blonde waitress " Great, can I have a vodka tonic, please?"  To which she responded in sheer bafflement " what flavor of vodka do you want with that?"

Now maybe I'm old; maybe she is a moron or both but what flavor of vodka typical goes in a vodka tonic? In irritation I said "Vodka flavored Vodka." Now here is where things get good she proceeds to not-so -artfully explain they don't have vodka flavored vodka, but do have fruit loop and whip cream. Maybe she didn't understand. But what I don't understand is how she thought her suggestions were close to my wants or that either of those would go well with tonic. I ended up with a two dollar miller lite and tried to keep my distance. Keeping my distance wasn't hard since she must have had the same plan. Getting another drink proved challenging. Getting service for the members of our part who straggled in was impossible. She was even slow to bring the check.

While the place does have some nice takes on bar food like Philly nachos ( a cheesesteak dumped on chips), the service is poor, the drink selection is aimed at making already delicious alcohol taste like a child's birthday and the music is awful. Save yourself the time and frustration by sitting at home with non-bitch flavored booze.

New kid bartender.... No meal set up, had to ask for condiments.... He wanted to small talk but not serve professionally THEN after waiting 10 minutes ( there were three of us in the building for lunch), my soup and sandwich came together .. I asked for him to keep the sandwich and fries warm, big surprise, when they came back post soup the fries were cold. This time I asked the female bartender to warm up the fries and she made sure I got fresh hot fries. Thank You Ms. Bartender. Normally the food is a 5 star but today's service was less than a 1 star
