To start off with,\r
I usually have good experiences at the Rudder, but this time, I was on the lake all day, and arrived with a few friends. When we arrived, we went to the hostess stand, where she gave us a buzzer and we went to the bar to wait on our table. The bar was not busy, and there were at least 5 bartenders. My friend and I waited for a good while, and noone ever attended us. When then waved our hand and a bartender came over (with not the best attitude). We ordered two drinks, but did not like the mix that was put in them. As we went to return our drinks, one bartender yelled at us and said ""GET OUT OF THE WAY THIS IS THE SERVICE STATION"". After this, finally a bartender came over and I apologized in a nice manner and said that we didn't really like the mix, and if they could possibly switch them out for us. After tipping once again, I went and sat at our table that they had just taken us to, and there was absolutely no alcohol in it. I suppose because I didn't like the mix before, she didn't want to ""put up with me"" so she gave me zero alcohol. \r
As if this was not enough, we waited probably around 15 minutes for a server at our table, and when we looked around for one, one was just sitting down sending messages on her cell phone. After we looked around for a minute a bit frustrated. A server (I will not mention her name) came over and goes ""Uhm, do y'all need something?"". She didn't tell us her name, nor did she greet us in annnyyyway possible. She was extremely rude the whole time. \r
I was so frustrated and in awe at this terrible service that I went and talked to a manager (thing that I have never done before, because I am very easy to please). The manager was attentive and nice, but acted like he didn't really care. \r
Therefore, I will never ever go back to this place.
