Editorial Review for Maker's Bar – by Maria Zukin
The Scene
In a neighborhood peppered with fast-food joints promising "fresco tacos" and "curry in a hurry," a $6 happy hour cosmo at Maker's fittingly hits the mark. Divey, but not dingy, the bar's got a black felt-topped pool table, golf-arcade game and four ESPN-ready TVs. Vintage photos of New York and bar-height tables and stools complete the decor.
The Draw
Expect to find neighborhood regulars and after-work groups sipping margaritas--generously filled to the salt-encrusted rim--and tapping their feet to the classic rock spilling out of a CD jukebox. And what Murray Hill pub would be complete without a selection of deep-fried, artery-clogging delights? Maker's menu includes chicken tenders, wings and mozzarella sticks.

My fiance and I arrived on Sunday at 11:15pm, my fiance ordered a martini with 2 olives. The bartender said that she threw away the olives since they would be closing in 30 minutes. He then asked if he could have a twist of lemon, to which the bartender stated she threw away all of the fruit as well. So, he got it straight up, fine, but for $12 - price seemed a bit higher than avg, but it happens and i can accept that, but hint after hint that this female bartender wanted to go home and have nothing to do with us was just too much for us to enjoy our drinks at all. She turned the lights up and THEN started asking for last call while we had full drinks in front of us. First of all, I was under the impression that this bar stays open until 4am - this is not the case at all, as we were forced out before 12am. Why would you throw away olives/fruit for drinks if you still have 30 minutes before this bar closes? We live in the neighborhood, and never had anything close to this happen at any other place. This bartender was so completely RUDE and obnoxious. Cant wait to never go back. Recommend any other bar in the area - just not this one.
Pros: Was close to home
Cons: Very RUDE female bartender

Female bartender REPEATEDLY cut off my songs from the jukebox. She had her own iPod and apparently preferred it. First off, rude. Secondly, just don't have the jukebox, or turn it off, if you don't like the music you have on it. It wasn't like I was playing ABBA on a loop. Just really obnoxious and I didn't appreciate the attempt to give me my money back as if that somehow justified the original action. I like the bar, but I don't think I'll be going back. Bartenders that look at their customers as antogonists shouldn't be bartenders. It's a SERVICE industry.
