Unfortunate choices are recognized here

by gldallas at Citysearch

You know the building is fantastic, the location is great, parking is easy...but they don't have anyone working there. We came in and they took our order, spent a fair amount of time waiting and this was 1 pm on a saturday afternoon. They had 3 cars in the parking lot and a few other tables.

Maybe they only had one waitress. We were not sure. Service was pleasant but not really interested in returning, they did not invite us to come back.

The food was average. could have spent our time waiting in line for In-N-Out burger instead of this place.

Garlic mayonnaise must be there signature for all burgers. Not really appetizing. I guess you have to be really drunk to eat here.

Drunks should love the food here I guess.

Sorry I spent any money here. They have the potential for such a nice place. Now I know why Nick & Sams around the corner is so busy.

Unless they get a new staff, avoid this place like the plague.

Minus the door guy, the staff is without a question the most RUDE, unwelcoming in Dallas. AVIDBARGOER, thinking he's doing a service, said it perfect: the staff doesn't want to work. Shut up and sip your drink. How "avid" are you? SMU law students have what owners want...money, but the staff's too lazy to care. One drink??? My group is 30-something professionals, not kids, and we were treated just as poorly. Here's my take on the place:

I have never felt less welcome in a bar in my life. NEVER. The staff and management complained constantly in front of guests about how they wanted a dead night, but weren't getting one. They were rude when we were trying to find a place for our party of 10 to sit -- and even bitched at us for taking a table from another girl's section...3 feet away. After all that, we NEVER had a waitress so much as look at us -- even the one whose section we were in.

My favorite was the manager screaming that "...the next person in the (non-descript) service well (no mats, no rubber, no bar, no sign...just a computer and a 10-foot strip in the MIDDLE of the bar) would be kicked out!

WTF!? Several people that had just arrived and immediately left. It was uncomfortable in the bar at that point.

THEN, I tried to close out and discovered the bartender had put over 30 drinks on my tab when in reality my girlfriend, friend and I had maybe 8 or 9. He claimed my GF kept ordering expensive beers (i drink bud light) and liquor she doesn't like. In fact, according to him she drank 16 of these! Fact: she was at the bar ONCE to get me a Bud Light -- I did all the ordering. After a long argument and being called "non-friendly" words, the old bartender adjusted my tab and TOSSED it at me.

Until they overhaul the staff I would avoid this place. I'm not biased -- read the other reviews. We're a nice, laid-back group, not loud drunks...but we were treated as such. This place needs to clean house.

• Pros: Great atmosphere
• Cons: Staff is unprofessional and rude.

never again

went here with a few friends. The bartender was a chubby boy with black hair who was too busy flirting with some girl to pay attention to us. The food was awful and drinks were weak. I would rather go anywhere else in uptown but here!"

Over charged me twice

by clemJ at Citysearch

Charged my credit card twice in the bar and then said could not check on it for 2 days. When told to look into it sooner they hung up on me. Would never do business with them again.
