I am absolutely fuming after trying to enjoy a beer at this place. The first time I went, the waitress didn't want to give me the time of day. Only after catching her eye to the point that it would be socially awkward for her to avoid me, she grudgingly took my order. I ordered a Guinness. $7 plus a $1.05 mandatory gratuity. I'm all for tipping hard working waitresses and bartenders, but when doing your job by pouring me a beer so apparently puts you in a foul mood, I would just as soon forego the tip. But I assumed maybe they just had their jerk waitress on that night, and decided to try it again a few nights later, which would be tonight.
The second time I went, the waitress REALLY didn't want to give me the time of day, preferring to sit on the bar, chat with the drunks and play with her cigarette lighter. Only after catching her eye to the point that it would be socially awkward for her to avoid me, she grudgingly took my order. (I was there on 1/6/12 at 10:30 PM if the manager or owner wants to check the timesheets to determine who this was.) I ordered a Guinness. After firmly demanding to see my ID, as if this was a sort of punishment for taking her away from her pyrophilic priorities, she grabbed a PLASTIC cup and bored me my beer. $7 plus a $1.05 mandatory gratuity. On the additional tip line I wrote ""Ha"", and left a terse note on the back of my receipt, which I placed under my empty cup. Sorry to inconvenience your bartending staff by asking them to pull a lever. Too bad you guys are the only bar in Miami. Oh, wait...
