The Corner Bar and Rooftop Grill

Good drinks not too expensive,  nice place to hang out with friends during the summer when everything is dead

I have been to this place a handful of times b/c I really enjoy the rooftop bar area.  However, this past Monday I went with a friend and we each ordered a drink from a bartender/server that had no interest in helping us.  He asked if I wanted to open a tab and I said yes and handed him my card.  After TWENTY minutes of waiting we still didn't our simple margaritas that we ordered.  So we went to the bar and informed him that we were going to move on to another bar and we went to the bathroom downstairs then got my card and left.  Two days later I noticed TWO charges on my card from The Corner Bar on Monday!  One was for $1.00 and the other was for $17.00.  They were both "pending" in my online banking until today.  This bartender ran my card for $17.00 then gave himself a tip to make it $22.00.  I went right to my bank and filed a complaint and they said they would refund my money and that since I never signed anything and def. never wrote in a tip that this guy/bar is about to get a nice little letter for fraud on my card.  Point of story - I never got what I ordered (after a 20 minute wait) and the bartender STILL charged my card and then gave himself a tip.   Not to mention this bar is filthy.  Filthy as in gross dirty.  I would not recommend that anyone go to this bar.

Went to The Corner one day for lunch to have a change of scenery from eating on campus. The food wasn't bad and it was decently priced, and I enjoyed the atmosphere. However, don't expect to have a quick meal. I ordered chips and queso as an appetizer since I was super hungry and wouldn't be able to eat again until quite later. It took 10 minutes to get my chips and queso. 10 minutes. That should only take 3 minutes at most. It's as simple as filling up a basket with chips and filling up a cup with queso which is already made. Then, because I had to wait so long, I had eaten all the chips but still had queso left over. The guy told me he would bring me more chips. He then proceeded to go back behind the bar and talk to some fellow employees for a while. I didn't see the chips until my lunch came out, about another 5 minutes later. All in all, it was a good meal, but it should've taken 30 to 45 minutes at most, not the 1 hour and 20 minutes I spent in there. I will eat here again, but only if I have a group of friends with me to keep me from wanting to gnaw on the table.

Pros:
*Good, cheap food.
*Nice atmosphere
*Close to campus
*Waiter/bartender was really nice and friendly

Cons:
*The food took way too long to be prepared/brought out.
