Review of The Ballantyne Hotel and Lodge

Hakusku 18 is one of my favorite Japanese whiskey ...

Hakusku 18 is one of my favorite Japanese whiskey and the bar carries it. What there bar does not carry is a bartender who does not profile people. I felt completely disrespected by the bartender. Do not visit this bar if you do not dress and sound like you have money. After 25 mins of no drinks we ordered another round when the bartender finally came back over to us. He did not ask the other two guys who fit the upscale bussiness man look if they were positive they wanted the same thing. Only me, the guy drinking 74 dollar glass of whiskey. I found this super rude. So I opened the menu and tried a cheaper Japanese whiskey. I have never seen a bartender downsale but that is exactly what he did. I will not be going back and i will never recommend this to anyone who is lookong for a place to stay or eat.
