“horrible!”
This is the worst bar I've ever been to. My boyfriend and I walked in to get a drink and approached the bar. A bartender told my boyfriend, 'I don't have time to serve you,' which upset me. He's 43 and I'm 24. I stood there and asked for two beers, and I was served. I wrote on the tip line as zero with a comment that they didn't have time to serve my boyfriend. Then the manager came over, not to apologize, but to tell us to leave and that we weren't welcome. The manager and bartender were both rude and unreasonable. We were told to leave and couldn't even finish our drinks. These are terrible people who treat others horribly. Don't go to this bar. If you don't have time to serve someone, you shouldn't be behind the bar. Everyone's money is the same.

“Worst Establishment Visited Since I Moved Here”
We just moved to California, Laguna specifically. My partner and I decided to check out this place because it was close. As soon as we entered, we felt something was off. It was crowded, but I've never seen such pushy, rude 'children.' I'm from the South, so we say 'excuse me' when bumping into someone, but here they pushed their way around, showing disrespect for everyone else. This happened twice in the hour we were there. Unfortunately, this place has a very negative vibe and bad energy. We won't be returning. It was a horrible experience. We're in our early thirties and are considered a handsome, successful gay monogamous couple. This new generation of entitled kids needs a reality check and lessons in politeness. This was an epic fail.
