incompetent bartender

  • No, I would not go back!

After waiting what felt like an eternity for the young male bartender to finish his conversation, I asked him for a light beer and he knew nothing. He was cocky, and impatient. Felt like I was bothering him.

Good neighborhood bar

  • Yes, I would go back!

Went here for the first time last night and will definitely go back. It was pretty busy, but not so packed that you couldn't move. Laid back vibe, mostly young people (recent college grad type crowd) just chilling, drinking, talking. And drinks are cheap! $5 for a good size cocktail.

Some Hints:

  • The best reviews give a clear sense of why you liked or disliked a restaurant, bar, or store. And that means details. Mention specifics dishes, type of crowd, pros and cons...
  • If it's helpful to compare one place to another, go for it.
  • Come up with clever, funny, pithy subject lines, and write in the first person.
  • Don't forget to read the user rating guidelines and rules.
