3 /5 Stephanie Bigelow: I’m not sure what’s going on with the bartender mentioned in several recent low-rating reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience as well.
My partner and I came in on Saturday, December 20th, specifically looking for a place where we could sit at the bar, watch some games, and enjoy a few beers. The bar area itself is beautifully decorated—very much my vibe—and it immediately raised my expectations. At first, everything was going great, and I genuinely thought we had found a new favorite spot.
I ordered the bacon cheeseburger with a side, and my partner had the catfish plate with two sides. The portions were generous, and we each had a beer while eating. Also while eating, we ordered a shot each, which was also fine. It was then that I decided to order a Bahama Mama, however, we were informed that there was a drinking limit and that we were being cut off. All this happened in the span of my meal.
While the drink itself was made well, the decision to cut me off was surprising and disappointing. We were calm, respectful patrons, minding our own business, and not causing any disturbance. The sudden cutoff completely changed the tone of the experience and left a sour impression.
Although the bartender wasn’t rude, the interaction felt very transactional. There was little to no engagement or effort to enhance the experience, which is a big part of what people expect when sitting at a bar. When I asked questions about the establishment, the responses were brief and uninviting. It felt like she technically did her job, but nothing more.
Unfortunately, this lack of interaction diminished what could have been an enjoyable bar experience. You won’t get the full, welcoming bar atmosphere here that many other places offer, which is disappointing given how beautiful the bar area is. It feels like a missed opportunity, as the ambiance deserves a much better experience to match. All that beautiful decor is a waste if you cant enjoy it.
