Paul's Club

Went on a Saturday night between 5 and 6.  The ambiance and seating are nice - the decor is very inviting.  The staff, not so much.  You would think they would have someone working the floor if you have so much seating but alas, no.  The bartenders, when flagged down, made adequate drinks.  I think if there was a change in the staff and they put staff on the floor it could be much better.

Work on your bartending, boys: Don't scoop ice with a glass -- bad form, and potentially unsafe. And for heaven's sake, use a strainer when you make a martini. Chunks of unintentional ice floating in a straight-up martini is just bad. When all you have is drinks, you need exceptional bartenders and techniques. Right now, you don't.

From what I had heard, I thought this would be way more of a dive bar. Definitely not.  It had a nice feel and cute couches if you were lucky enough to get one.  However, the actual people who went there were a bit much.  If you have a bouncer, please escort the rowdy persons out.  I was sitting at the high top tables and a drunk patron kept running into me.  I ended up wearing half my drink.  The staff saw this and did nothing.  

Overall the rest of my experience was ok.  I liked the tree.  It is just kind of an average, everyday bar with a great tree.  

The bartenders were jerks.  Inattentive.  There was one with curly hair, she talked to me like I was an idiot.  From ordering to closing my tab, you would have thought I was speaking another language.  I doubt I will go back to Paul's.
