Zoey's Cafe

doesn't even deserve a star: reference my tips

I love Zoey's. Great bar, great rooms, great patio. The drinks & food are top notch, and I love the open mic comedy night on Wednesdays, and all the local and national bands that come through. It's a great place to meet friends. My only issue is the service. For some reason there is only every one bartender no matter how busy it is. There was a night recently where there were 6 of us at the bar and THREE people behind it, all with their backs to us for about 10 minutes. No one said a word to us. I usually see two people behind the bar with the bartender doing random things but never taking orders or making drinks. It always takes SO LONG to get a drink at that bar and I don't understand. This shouldn't be an issue. Or bartenders that talk to others too long, don't remember the water you asked for, serve others who just came up when you've been standing there for 20 minutes. There's got to be a way to imrove this.

Cool spot. Good bartender (Doc). Wonton poppers and spicy chicken were both awesome.  Happy Hour deals made me feel like I was a thief. The place has a very local feel but without the local only attitude. They had live music. The bands were good but not my style. There is nowhere to hide from the music so if it bothers you, you're out of luck.
