Nice Bar, Abusive Bartender 11/8/2010

There is a part-time bartender at this bar who abuses customers to whom he feels inferior. All I did was ask for a drink from a bartender, (considering that is his job) but my request was met not only with impatience and attitude, but with verbal abuse. He called me a stupid b**** for thinking that I could ask for a drink before the person next to me (even though I had sat down before that person), and told me that I was cut off (before he even served me my first drink of the night!). I did not insist on being served, but instead left the bar area to see some friends in another section of the establishment, when after 20 minutes he came out from behind the bar, stood within inches of my face, and screamed at me to leave the bar. I explained that I had done nothing wrong, and only asked him, THE BARTENDER for a drink, but he grabbed me by my side and pushed me towards the door, where the bouncer told him to relax for being out of hand. He shot the bouncer a disdainful look, and quite literally threw me out of the door. Now, I am only 5 feet tall, and weigh just over 100 lbs, so the force left me crumpled like a doll on the steps outside. The bartender, though laughably small himself, outrageously abused his power, and physically assaulted me. In my opinion, he should be arrested for his insane and inappropriate behavior. He is about 5'5 with a helmet-shaped MULLET. What a total Jerk. I only wish I were able to enjoy the atmosphere for more than 15 minutes before the bartender decided to single me out and attack me. more

Grunge but comfortable 11/10/2006

Botanica is not so different from many bars along the Houston St. It has very low lightings, old sofas with kinda hippie-ish atmosphere. There is a separate room in the back which is cozy and quiet. The drinks are alright, nothing very special. If you just wanna hang out with a few low maintenance friends after dinner this is a good place to go. more
