I used to love coming to this bar, the atmosphere and service used to be amazing. Unfortunately, my recent visits have been disappointing.
Lately, I’ve noticed two male bartenders (one with glasses and another who ties his hair back) who don’t seem to make drinks properly. Several times, I’ve received cocktails that tasted like they had little or no vodka, which feels like an attempt to get people to order more drinks.
Even worse, on two occasions, they added a tip to my bill themselves almost 30% without asking. On my last visit, the bartender with glasses also charged me $42 for something I didn’t order, and when I tried to point it out, he refused to look at the receipt and said, “I don’t want to look.”
I really hope management looks into this, because this used to be one of my favorite spots, but the recent service has been unacceptable.
I don’t recommend going there, but if you do, be careful and double check your bill.

We had a private event here at the end of August and couldn't have been happier with every element of the planning and execution of the party. The backyard space comfortably fit our 50 guests and never felt too warm or overcrowded. The staff made sure food and drinks came out on time and quickly, and the food was so good we had to order more! Planning was beyond simple and priced incredibly well - Katie, the manager, made the whole process seamless and worked within the budget we provided for her, and honestly went above and beyond our expectations. 100/10 would host an event here again!

Had the worst experience at this bar. To start off a bartender who was wearing a black tank top dismissed me with his hands when I asked for water.
Around 330 a short about 5”5 very aggressive security guard was pushing us out. we asked for a few minutes to finish two cocktails we just got at 3:30. If they wanted us out at 3:30 they should stop bar service before we paid for the drinks. In the middle of this discussion a female bartender approached very aggressively asking us to leave along with the security guards. Again, I mentioned that we just got drinks and to let us finish them. We paid for them. There were other people at the bar as well and they didn’t seem to be getting any aggression or pushed to leave. My family and friends were targeted and disrespected. Google has open till 4a.m if that’s not correct management should change that. I hope management takes this hostile behavior from their employees seriously and addresses it. Thats no way to treat customers.

Hi Ditty Management,
I’m writing to formally share my disappointing and frankly disrespectful experience at your venue this past weekend. I’ve been to The Ditty before and always had positive experiences, but this recent visit left me and my group shocked by how we were treated, especially towards closing time.
First, when my friend attempted to order a standard margarita, the male bartender flatly refused to make it—something I’ve never encountered at any bar. He ignored the order until another bartender eventually stepped in to fulfill the request after an unnecessary wait. This was already an off-putting start to our time there.
Later in the evening, after we had just ordered another round of cocktails (roughly $20 each), the house lights came on, and the female bartender came over and abruptly told us we needed to leave. When my sister calmly responded that we’d like a moment to finish our drinks we just purchased, the bartender escalated the situation by accusing her of being “hostile” and called over security.
What followed was completely unacceptable: the security guard—about 5’5” in height—rudely told my sister to “stay in her lane” simply for requesting a minute to finish our beverages. This behavior was completely uncalled for, demeaning, and completely lacking in professionalism or basic hospitality.
This kind of treatment doesn’t reflect the welcoming environment I previously associated with your establishment. I’m unsure if this was new staff or a one-off, but it left such a bad impression that I felt compelled to bring it to your attention.
I hope you take this feedback seriously and look into who was working that night. Bars thrive on the experience they create—not just the drinks they serve—and this experience was, unfortunately, the opposite of what most guests would expect or deserve.

One of the worst bar experiences. The security pressured me to leave while there was people there. It clearly says it closes at 4am, while the security pressed me to leave at 3:40AM. We did NOT order more drinks, we were just finishing while the securities made a whole show, 3 had to get involved for no reason. We were just finishing the drink we ordered 10min ago. There was a guy in a tank top bar tending who kept bothering my husband because he was bigger than him as well as security. I felt targeted as well as the group I was in, The minute we entered. The guy in the tank working in the bar complained/ignored about a margarita I wanted and the gentleman to the right made it for me while he smirked it off. I don’t think it’s that hard to do, this is so unprofessional that’s going to the securities and the bar tender. DO NOT GO HERE if you want to have a nice relaxing night.

Music is off the hook for real. The people have been great -- both clientele and staff. I don't know how it's so consistent, but I travel across neighborhoods to get here. Drinks are quality and not too expensive either.
Also, ask for Michelle, the bartender. She's dope.
Def recommend. 🙏🏾
