Hemingway's Bar & Grill

AVOID Hemingway's. We went today, for the first time, for a relaxing sunday lunch. I asked The owner, Dave, why my kids grilled cheese took 41 minutes to arrive. He told me that I should have expected that, but never why. When I went in to use the restroom, he gave me a dirty look and proceeded to come over and tell me to "kiss my a s s", at which point he bent over and started slapping his backside. I told him his customer service was horrible and he decided that warranted telling me to "F--- YOU" and give me the finger repeatedly. I walked away to the bathroom, and when I was heading back outside to my table, he started yelling the same thing across the room while giving me the finger...for all to see. Very odd and potentially dangerous behavior. A truly bizarre Sunday lunch. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID! more

First off, I as well have no affiliation with any other bars or owners of any other establishments in the area. Nor have I ever been kicked out of Hemingways. But I have witnessed Dave, the new/old owner, treat multiple guests horribly on multiple occasions. I STOPPED WAISTING MY TIME AFTER THE 4TH INCIDENT! Never once was I offended by anything anyone had ever said or done before they were unnecessarily tossed out of the bar, and Im sure plenty of people feel the same way I do. Just look at all the horrible reviews w/in less than one year of him taking back over. I have seen Dave curse relentlessly at patrons for saying or doing little to nothing. He is a sorry, disgusting, negative, disgrace of a human being and I can't wait for someone to buy him back out so I can once again enjoy my time at what used to be a wonderful and laid back place to hang out. Seriously folks, don't waist your time, energy or money on this lame attempt at a "better hemingways". DRINKS ARE WAAAAAYYYY OVERPRICED! more

The good reviews on this site were all done by the owner who is shilling his own place, but really not giving an accurate account of the horrible customer service at Hemingways! Dave M. is the owner. All that you have to do is to visit one of the many review sites around and his are the only good reviews, other than the ones that were posted before he took over, early in 2010. He called us trash and told our friends to get the eff out of his place. This treatment is commonplace, apparently, from the many reviews of this establishment. Why would anyone subject himself/herself to such rude treatment? A caution about karaoke night. He did a number with a young woman that had a distinct pervy aspect to it. If you decide that you want to endure this guy's verbal abuse, you might want to watch the dudes hands around your wife or girlfriend. more

Good: The waitresses gave us a heads up about the rudeness of the owner. Apparently nobody likes the guy!. Bad: The owner! Like so many other people who have reviewed this place, the owner is a psycho! After we left, he cussed out our friends and called us all trash because we questioned his stingy 4 oz $7.50 drinks. He tells them to get the eff out for having sat at the table with the people who questioned his drink prices? Like I said, psycho.. Improvements: New ownership. The present owner disrespects his clientele - a really curious way for somebody in the hospitality business!. Other: This is a great place if you have low self esteem and wish to be verbally abused after you have been ripped off by way-too-expensive drink prices. Who would choose to endure insults like that?. more
