A lot of the worst and some of the best

by crackerplz at Citysearch

How can a bar be the worst and the best of an area? The bar was stylie, and seemed to be a complete industry hang. The service, on the other hand, was the worst I've ever seen... and I mean EVER. If I were the only one who had an issue, fine, I'll take the blame and say that I was the problem, unfortunately everyone in the group that I was meeting (10 strangers + 2 "friends") said the same thing. As an ex-bartender/bar manager of 10 years in some of the busiest joints in LA, I have some experience.

That place would be the gem of the Valley if they had bartenders that knew how to serve a cocktail instead of serve themselves.

Would I go back, sure, but not as often. Avoid the shorter, thin bartender with black hair and heavy eyeliner - can take 15-20 minutes to get your drink, when she's NOT busy. The service was so bad, I contemplated asking for an application.

• Pros: Cool and stylish hang, very relaxed
• Cons: The worst service I've ever had in my life
