my fiance and i went to the tavern lowry for dinner and drinks last week, celebrating a rare night off together, and hoping for a relaxing evening. Unfortunately when we got there we had to sit at the bar because the host was overwhelmed and we were sick of waiting. Now i have bartended or worked in the bar industry for 11 years and i have never complained at a restraunt in my life. But this was the worst service i have ever recieved. One bartender on the other side of the bar was flirting with two men for at least 10 minutes while me my fiance and four other customers waited for service, and talked about possibility that we were invisible. The bartender we were stuck with on our side WAS THE SINGLE SLOWEST BARTENDER I HAVE EVER SEEN! There was a moderate crowd at the bar so i understand a little wait, but in the 10 minutes we waited for drinks i think he might have made 6 drinks including a martini that he spilled and spent a couple minutes looking up what i can only assume were drink recipies. When we finally were approached by the bartender he was very nice took our orders and after a few minutes of painstaking drink making he brought me back my amaretto sour with a lime in it and he used a jigger to pour the drink. (nothing tackier than that) I was curious if this person had ever bartended before or just was pulled off the street. Needless to say we didn't stay for dinner and will not be going back. O and by the way, when we got our Tab from the female bartender (the male was still busy trying to figure out how to bartend) it was the completely wrong bill and after we notified her of this problem she went over to the computer and spent 5 minutes pushing buttons and discussing with the other bartender and eventually brought us a another wrong check which we decided to pay anyway and try to leave with our sanity intact.
Cons: terrible bar staff, jigger drinks, seems to be terribly managed.
