why run to different venues each time we don't get our way and instead work things out but if ya want to share a bar with others then i suggest finding another bar that will kiss our asses because we are a large group

Can someone tell me why we are usually the only people in the place???

OK here goes again. I suspect this rant will be much shorter than the one I did before.

I am very pissed off at this hell hole and the management and I have no intention of ever going back to it again. I think the management of that place has acted in a very deceptive and unethical manner and I really question their business practices on every level.

I have gone to this place for approximately two months and last week I had every intention of not going there again, except that I had planned to attend last night event because of what they did then, which bears an eerily similar resemblance to what happened last night.

To set it up, last week there was supposed to be a party with a kissing contest with a cash prize of $500. I would have won that contest if it actually happened, trust me on this. Regardless, I got in the door and the advertising clearly did not state there would be a cover charge. It is not the amount, it is a trivial amount, it is all about the principle. I asked why there was a cover, and I was informed that they had to scramble to get a DJ at the last minute. Things like that happen but they would have paid for a DJ regardless, and unless they stated a cover charge was to be in effect in their advertising, I take this to be false advertising pure and simple.

OK, so last night, I have the same thing happen, and my initial response was WTF!!! Are these guys serious. If it was not for POFers, the doors would not be open for long because of the amount of clients they have outside of POFers. So I am pissed off as soon as I walk in the door. Granted I never read the forums to find out this was a last minute development planned by the manager of this dump without the organizers knowledge (so I will accept responsibility for not reading the forums first, but that is neither here nor there).

So I go to the bar and I find out they have no change for drinks, Fine, it happens and I would have given a tip. I find out the beers are $4.75 and since I did not have anything smaller than a $10 I guess that is their tip. Later after getting change from the nice young cashier (Nicole) at the end of the night, and with whom I have been dealing with all evening, the price went down to $3.75 a beer. I think to myself I wonder why that is then I realize the other person behind the bar is not there.

I know there was mention above of half hour waits for service at the bar. I could see that happening. But it makes me wonder if the management knew that there was going to be a large crowd, why was there not the appropriate amount of servers hired. They certainly had sufficient time to find one or two people to help out for the night. Why risk getting patrons pissed off because the service is so poor, that is just good business management.

What really got under my craw is:
1.) Why if we gave out over 100 tickets at the door (and I am certain there were a few people missed because if it was not for Kerri we would have been one of them too). So we have 100 tickets given out at the door in exchange for a $5.00 cover. At the bare minimum that is $500. Why was there only $395 collected. Ummmmmmm... I might not be overly bright, but 100 x $5.00 equals $500 or the cost of the DJ. Why was he stiffed by management? Are they really that mentally challenged to not think word would get out, that at least $105 went somewhere else than where it should have gone.

2.) Why were drinks sold for significantly more than the posted happy hour prices. Why also was there no change available for patrons. I am sure management could make up the missing $105 from that alone.

3.) Why was there no appetizers available when it was promised there would be some. However at the end of the night when the lights were turned up why could I smell garlic, or something like garlic prawns.

4.) If this place has apparantly very few clients outside of POFers, why are we treated with such distain and a cavalier attitude.

I had a lot more to say but unfortunately it was all lost. If you want to hear my rant in person I am sure I would be happy to oblige at any other venue that this hell hole, which I have no intention of ever darkening their doorway again.

I feel that some business practices don't deserve a second chance and renaging on a deal they had to pay for half the DJ and then short him is not OK.

To continue going there it says we don't care how our fellow POFer was treated for his service.

I don't like the fact that I buy the same thing everytime, but my bill is more and more everytime.

To continue going to an estblishment with shady business practices shows them we don't care how we are treated. I'm sorry, but I do care.
