Terrible. This place is dead to me; will never consider giving my business again. Myself and another friend planned to meet someone there. Our friend was there a bit early and was inside. We get there and are told that we have to wait on a guest list for 1 hour to get in. Not really feeling like waiting I call my friend inside and let him know to come out and we'll go somewhere else. He comes to the door and the security gentleman says we can join him since he's already inside. So we go inside, and are about to order a drink when a waitress tells us we need to leave because we skipped the guest list and lied to get in when we were actually let in by security. She was accusatory and rude which is completely unacceptable in a service/experience environment. She did not care to hear what had actually happened at the door and assumed we were lying to get inside like this place is some big deal LOL. I couldn't care less about getting inside this place; just wanted to have a few drinks with some friends and it seemed like a cool venue! We don't really care to argue and are happy to leave as we've had enough of the awful staff at this place. As we are exiting the security guard admits to having made an error and he apologizes and says if we want we can go back on the guest list and would be let in another hour from now LOL. After accusing us of lying and being incredibly rude only to then admit they were wrong, they have the audacity to say we can still wait an hour to get in if we wanted...what a joke. The incredibly rude waitress also did not apologize at all upon finding out this was the security guards error. She continued to maintain a smug impression and did not say a word. She was just the worst.
This aside, the food and drinks are super overpriced. Ordered the exact same Spanish wine at another bar down the street for literally half the price.
