crazy bartender

by monkey03

regarding angelsurta's post, i am a regular at the lava lounge and i would have assumed that she was overreacting if i hadn't seen the whole thing happen. I have never seen this kind of confrontation between a bartender and a customer, and the fact that she is a woman made it even more shocking and awful. the bartender basically lost his mind at her, called her horrible names and physically muscled her out the door when she really was acting completely rational considering the circumstances. i saw the same guy working soon after so he didn't get fired which is completely shocking to me. all that being said, i have never had another bad experience there and apparently that particular bartender is just a very bad seed.

• Pros: usually a great bar
• Cons: one psychotic bartender

SHOVED AND SCREAMED AT BY AGGRESSIVE BARTENDERS!!! SERVING DRINKS WITH GLASS SHARDS!!

by AngelSutra

I am a female who attended this bar and my friend was served a beer with a SHARD of GLASS in it.

His mouth was sliced and bleeding. I went to comlain to the bartenders who didn't care.

I proceeded to ask for the managers number, and they refused to give it to me, so I called the police.

They began SCREAMING in my face, F you, you F'n B...., get the F out of the bar! Then proceeded to grab me, push and shove me around, and force me outside. HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!

• Pros: NONE
• Cons: ASSAULTED BY BARTENDERS

Regular for over 13 years!

by michaelseattle

I have been coming to this bar for over 13 years regularly. It's just a few doors down from work so often later at night. Love the bar staff, friendly crowd, pet friendly, HOEGAARDEN on tap, & that crazy-ass DJ Jerry! I am and allways will be a regular as long as that building stands!

• Pros: Staff, regulars, good beer & drinks, and did I mention that crazy-ass DJ Jerry?
• Cons: Weekens too crowded w/ frat types (hence 4/5 stars)
