Rum Runners

The service was horrendous, the only explaination is that management allows it.  I nearly bumped into a waitress walking with a full tray behind me.  It was packed standing room only.  This waitress glared and gave me the evil eye like I was in a high school hallway and bumped into a bully.  She was glaring for at me a VERY long time.  I should have left then.  I shouldn't have let it get to me, but was very intimidated and scared.  Even though i smiled and tried to brush it off I  thought this girl was going to come after me for not seeing her.  She was behind me, she should have looked out for me.  This girl was of some ethnicity other than Caucasian.  To add to my terrible rum runners experience was a terror of a bar tender.  She apparently thought I was not going to leave her a tip, because I took the $2 change she gave me and took it off the bar.  I was going to add to it, is why I took it off the bar.  Probably not a good choice, but I did have a few drinks so I wasn't 100%.  The bartender girl slammed her hand on the bar and cocked her head looked me in the eyes and said "OH AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH". And stormed off.  These two girls ruined my experience.  I will be contacting management about these two girls.  I will never go back.

Alcohol, fun atmosphere, what more do you need? I bumped off one star because it's in a tourist trap (let's be honest, Baytowne Wharf is kind of like Downtown Disney), and I can't "love" it for that reason.

Rum Runners was a pleasant surprise.

The one man "I can play anything" guy was just getting started when we arrived in the early evening (6ish), he was good, a lot of fun and truly did play all the songs we requested or at least a piece of a song like Eddie Murphy's Party All The Time-yes, we tried to stump him :) I guess he's the warm up for the dueling piano show, which we didn't stick around to see. We had a 3 year old with us and you could tell the vibe was starting to change as the night went on, not in a bad way just not for a youngster.

The food & drinks were good and reasonably priced, the service excellent. I'm sure I won't come again until more out of towners visit but when they do this will be on my list of places to bring them.
