15 of my friends and I went to the Stoneleigh P on a Wednesday night. The place was DEAD. Maybe ten people in the whole bar. Most bartenders would be excited to see a nicely dressed big group on a slow night. (TIPS!) But this bartender, heretoafter referred to as ""surfer boy"" (because he looks like some piece of trash you'd see in a bad punk rock music video) was not. For the record, we are definitely the big tipping types. We were not rude. Were we a little drunk and somewhat loud? Yes...but last I checked, this was a bar and that is what bars are for. Literally 5 MINUTES after walking into this bar, Surfer Boy told us we could only have one drink. Whatever his reason was for kicking us out, it would be unacceptable to any bar owner. In those 5 minutes no one got in a fight, threw up, broke something, or did anything that normally causes one to get kicked out of a bar. I hadn't even ordered a drink yet. Since I was only going to get one drink at this place I ordered a scotch on the rocks. It comes back a scotch and water with so little scotch in it, it might as well have been water. I'm naturally assuming this guy is trying to rip me off. Surfer Boy has already kicked me out of a bar for no reason, why should he bother giving me a decent drink? So I call him out on it. He feigns innocence and lets me watch as he pours a scotch on the rocks.
Pros: Location
Cons: Bad service, bad attitude, bad vibes, and let's not forget Surfer Boy.
