I've never posted a revew on this site, however, I feel compelled to write something about my experience last night at the White Horse Tavern. I was joining some colleagues for drinks after work. The staff corralled our group into the back room. There was no room to sit so I stood with several of my friends. I did not see a waitstaff so I ventured to the bar to buy some drinks. I was intercepted at the bar by the "host" and told to go back to the room and order from a waitress. I mentioned there wasn't a waitress to be found so I headed to the bar. I felt silly pleading with the man - cash in hand - to buy a drink. In a bar. I eventually headed back to the back room - sans drink. 15 minutes later we finally tracked down a waitress and ordered a drink. Between the time the drinks were ordered and the arrival of our cocktails, a second "host" told us we couldn't stand in the back room because it blocked a clear path to the ladies room. He said we would have to stand at the bar and order our drinks there. Unbelieveable. When we informed him that we were told not to order from the bar he looked confused.....then said he had just come on and he was enforcing the rules. It felt like the twilight zone. I will never, ever step foot in this dump again. Thankfully, we ended our night at the White Horse right after the silliness and headed to Dublin's down the street. We couldn't have been happier with the service we received at Dublins.
Pros: Lots of great bars in neighborhood after you are fed up here
Cons: Rude idiotic staff
