After 10+ drinks, still no buyback
3 Star Rating: Average

Probably the worst single bartender I've come across in nyc. Granted I live in Manhattan and expect a certain minimum level of service, but spending an entire night at this place buying drinks with cash and on my card, I was waiting all night for my buyback. When I finally closed out the rest of my bill at the end of the night, and asked for one, he threw it in my face and said he wouldn't give it to me because I asked for it. I think that the appropriate time for a buyback is at some point throughout the night when you're buying round, not when you're closing out the credit card and leaving the joint. Regardless, they obviously have no idea how to treat a customer in that place. It was my first time in the place, and will be my last. PS- The scene is pretty dumpy. Someone wrote below me it's the best bar on 5th avenue. God, if that's true I'm even more happy about living in the city. Please tell me Park Slope doesn't stink that much. PLEASE!

Pros: They serve alcohol, always a plus for a bar.

Cons: Dirty, dismal scene, worst bartender ever, people going to bathroom in groups (hmmm...)
