I used to work at the BrewCo years and years ago as a bartender. I was in town for the Jack Johnson concert and was excited to take my group to dinner and show them where I worked. We had a group of 8 and when I walked in there was no hostess. After standing around for some time waiting for someone to sit us, welcome us...acknowledge us in any way, I went to the bar to ask what we should do. I told the bartender I had a group of 8 for dinner and drinks before the concert and he said we could sit anywhere (there were no tables set up for 8) but that there was only one server so we probably wouldn't get good service. Of course, we decided to leave. While I appreciated the bartender's honesty (I would have been more annoyed if we wasted time), I was really disappointed. I would think they would staff up when there's a big concert in town. They definitely missed out on a lot of business. We ended up spending a fortune at Chilis around the corner.
