We have a large group of people who try out new restaurants/pubs every other week and of the 50 or so restaurants we've visited so far, the Barking Dog takes the cake for worst service we've ever had. 20 people can tend to get loud so we stick to places that are good for groups. The waitress was immediately rude to us when we arrived simply because we were a large group and wanted us to sit out on the patio so we didn't 'distrub' the other patrons (it's an Alehouse!). She tried to tell us she wouldn't serve us alcohol but had no legitimate reason so she reluctantly brought us pitchers. When I called later to speak to the supervisor about being treated so poorly, I recieved the same rude treatment and neither the waitress nor supervisor could provide any justification. I'd highly recommend going somewhere else.
