I went to Bonfire with a couple of girls around 10ish on a Saturday night to get some drinks because it was nearby and the outer decor looked decent. Some of us ordered the raspberry mojito after being enticed by having ""it's awesome"" on the menu. It some kind of slightly reddish ""mojito."" I couldn't tell what it was because all it tasted like was seltzer water. I am an avid mojito drinker and this drink had no sugar a splash of flavored rum (and when i say splash, i mean more like a drop) ONE mint leaf, may be two limes slices, ONE crushed raspberry loaded with seltzer water. After notifying the bartender, she snaps back ""well that's how it's SUPPOSED to be MADE."" We just wanted some sugar or something. it was NOT minty, NOT sweet, NOT sour from the limes, it was so bland and just flat out awful. If my original purpose was to drink some seltzer water, I would have just ordered it from the beginning. The bartender reluctantly grabs the two mojito, mutters that all she would do was add more rum (so shes splashing rum all over the drink, on the side, not bothering to clean it off) and walks away. I don't know how that drink could have possibly turned more horrid, but it did.
All the drinks that require effort were horrid. Thank goodness you cant go wrong with bottled beer.
So the bartender comes back and asks us if we wanted another round of the same drinks. In the meanwhile, none of us touched our drinks because it was watered down and the bartender was rude over and over again. How do you ask if we are ready for another round when all of your glasses are full.
okay, so if you don't know how to make a mojito, its fine, but don't bark back at a customer telling them that its supposed to taste shitty.
I got an extra dirty vodka martini with three olives, and I assumed you can't go wrong with a martini... it's simple; vodka, drop of vermouth, olive juice and olives. shake with ice. Tell me why my martini came with no olives and I had to ask for them five times. My martini was watered down. Perhaps they water down their liquor bottles to save money. I don't know. But if you want nasty service and nasty drinks, you should definitely waste your perfectly going evening with a rude bartender who obviously needs a hug.
Pros: local, decent decor
Cons: horrible service, bartender with awful attitude
