Van Buren Room Reviews
Great drinks, mediocre service. I've had two bad experiences here, first I went and looked through the menu and couldn't find what I wanted so I asked the bartender for a suggestion, the guy scoffs at me and tells me "that's not my job" and throws a menu at me. I honestly thought that was the EXACT job of a bartender, to know your menu and offer service. The other I won't even say because it enrages me to no end.
Suffice to say, great drinks, need better service training.
Great drinks and great service
In all honesty the bartender was completely rude, nice space and patio but service leaves a lot to be desired.
