I hate to leave a bad review. It is very rare for me. But after so many bad experiences with the Bartender here, it seems like it must be done. This place has great atmosphere along the canal. It is also a historic building. But the darn Bartender just has to go. After 3 visits here, and stories from friends, it is clear that he just hates his job - and the people he is serving. Drinks take a long time. I asked for pretzels and he said "really?" and looked at me with incredulity. It was like we asked for the world. He refused to split a $60 bar tab on two credit cards saying "that will take too long." Again - this has happened on multiple visits, even when it is not busy. I really like the atmosphere along the canal. But service is a serious problem that could be easily fixed.
