I will preface this with the fact that I make drinks for a living. I am giving this a 1 because there aren't many on here. I have been to Charlie Brown's many times and have always been ok with the mediocre service and all around old bar vibes. But I have had a few bad experiences that constitute the 1...

Last night I was rushing to meet some friends and cut my nose shaving. The first thing the bartender said was "ok, whats the deal with the bloody nose." Pretty understandable thing to ask. I explained, he didn't listen too well and to my conclusion took it that I was in a fight or something. I asked him if happy hour was still going on. He said yes, so I ordered a white russian, and then a gin and ginger for my lady. When I was surprised that i only got one white russian instead of two and the bill was actually 3 dollars more than expected, he explained that it is hard for him to hear me with that f***ing tissue in my nose and I should speak up. I paid the bill and didn't leave a tip. He implied that we should sit somewhere else which we were about to do anyways. As I walked away he said thanks. And then "NO REALLY, THANKS BUDDY!" We had a seat with friends who were drinking up the bar for a friends birthday and found that our gin and ginger probably had about a 1/4 of a shot in it. I took it back and said, "hey man, this is weak." He replied, "You know what is weak...your f***ing tip."

This is the first time since high school that I haven't tipped a bartender. This is the first google review I have ever given. Yes, people can be difficult, but please don't be prejudice to someone who is potentially hurt. I am sure he was having a bad night took it out on me. Either way. I thought this story was worth sharing and also pretty hilarious.

Charlie Brown's, you should find some better people, you are better than this dude. I've worked in the irishist of bars with bartenders that had tempers that would destroy this childish man, but they would never treat someone unkind because he had a bloody nose.
