Bartending ignoring guests while taking shots with her friends, charged for drinks we never get.

On a busy Saturday night, my friends and I ventured into Alleyway Bar, eager to embrace the lively atmosphere. Upon entering, we were greeted by a vigilant security guard, adding a sense of assurance to our visit. The split-level design of the bar was an unexpected delight, with the upper portion providing a serene retreat from the main bustle, perfect for engaging in conversations or unwinding with a game.

Navigating through the throng to reach the main bar was a test of patience, and once there, the struggle to secure a drink was real. The limited selection of craft beers left aficionados wanting, and even a simple order seemed to stretch out into eternity due to the overwhelming demand and the evident strain on the bartenders.

Opting for the patio, we hoped for respite from the clamor, only to find it equally packed. The inability to find a place to comfortably socialize eventually led to a heated altercation and police intervention, prompting us to cut short our visit. As we made our hasty exit, we were astounded to find a winding queue of eager patrons eagerly anticipating their turn to enter the bar.

Reflecting on the evening, while the Alleyway Bar flourished with energy on weekends, I couldn't help but consider a return visit during a quieter time or in the daylight. The enchanting music certainly left an impression, and despite the challenges, I am intrigued by the possibility of leisurely sampling their cocktail offerings and menu in a more tranquil setting.

Green tea shots were great but the floor was super sticky and there was trash laying around.

Bartenders are slow at getting drinks & will probably be waiting for 20 mins just for them to take your order at the bar

Security punched me in the face without me being hostile or acting erratic. You will definitely be hearing from my lawyer.

Ok so from my experience of going to Bars and Working them. As everything from a Dishwasher, Cook Barback, a Bartender and a Manager. They should probably evaluate their Bartenders. For one I had to wait for service while a woman Bartender stood there with her arms crossed and didn't ask if I needed anything. One of her Male coworkers had noticed that and kinda looked at me looking at her. He looked like he didn't want to step in and steal her opportunity to take the order. Then finally he saw me starting to reach the point. Where I was going to speak up. I was gonna be like yo wanna do your job and get me one of those cold cervezas and a shot of that there Crown Apple. Yes I was drinking Corona. Because I don't like to have to put my manager's hat and say something. Especially while I'm out trying to enjoy time with my two sons. So he stepped up and took my order. But that's the second time that happened to me that night. Then today I gotta notification that after only getting 4 Coronas and 2 shots of Crown Apple when I left and got home and checked my account my bill was $31 I was ok with even though I thought it was pricey. The notification comes through that they upped it another $5 to totaled $37 so I have yet to call to find out why it went up. Other than that, it's a place I would go back to. The whole layout was sweet you walked in from the street where you had to go down the stairs to the bar area. The bar was a very decent sized bar they had a DJ booth playing some bangers his music was good all night. Like I said it was a nice place but the ladies was not on their A game. They are the reason for my 2 star overall. Hopefully when I give them another shot I can come and revise this and not make a second bad review for them.
