as much as I love this bar....the last couple times ive been here its been kinda lame.
It not the bar itself...its the bartender.
Im not sure what her name is but you cant miss her.....she kind of looks like a troll.
Long dark hair (most likely a wig), over-inflated fake breasts, frumphy face, you cant miss her!
She has no clue about customer service. The owner should do himself a favor and get a HOTT bartender that has a personality....
Or just hire Jen, the blonde bartender, full-time....
The people that come to this bar and whine about bad service or moan 'n groan because they didn't get an umbrella in their drink simply don't understand the unwritten rules of patronizing the Class of 47.
Simply put the Ownership (which actually OWNS and doesn't Lease) and the staff's mentality has been and will always be to take care of their "regulars" first and give a rat's ass about everyone else second.
Do some of the bartenders treat people like crap? Yep, they do and, unfortunately, some times for no good reason whatsoever. As someone from out of state, however, I've always found that the best time to show is in the afternoons or on non-weekend nights when the staff is not stressed.
If you like this type of "dive bar" atmosphere and are willing to invest the time in getting to know the staff and the other regulars, this is a fantastic place with great drinks. If you're one of those whip out the platinum AMEX card type of people that believes that snapping your fingers and ordering a dozen shots of Patron at a time it is going to get you somersault bar service, you're ultimately going to go home feeling like you've had your nose rubbed in crap.
